UFO Sighting Over the Philippines in 1948
In April 1948, a significant UFO sighting occurred involving Lieutenant Robert Myers and his flight of F-47 Thunderbolt aircraft over Luzon in the Philippines. While flying at 1,500 feet, Myers spotted an object about three miles away, which he estimated was traveling at around 200 miles per hour. Upon turning to pursue the object, it executed a sharp 90-degree turn and vanished within five seconds, suggesting extraordinary speed, potentially reaching up to 40,000 miles per hour. The object was described as a half-moon shape, possibly equipped with a dorsal fin, but was ultimately dismissed by Project Sign as merely a bird despite the compelling details of the encounter.
