Ron Kruppa, of the
American-based Film and Research for the Endangered Environment, his two
Filipino assistants and 600 villagers sighted a UFO that landed in Upper Baracatan on 20 May 1979, The Gazette reports:
The UFO appeared over Mount Apo
(at the edge of Davao) at 8:00 a.m. and was in view for 20 minutes.
Quote from the article:
“There have been hundreds of
reported UFO sightings over wide areas in the central Philippines since April
and military authorities are investigating them.
The object was ‘perfectly round
like a big balloon’ and gave off a strobe-like effect similar to one produced
by a camera flash, he said.”
