This may have nothing to do with the description of an orange UFO from a US Air Force pilot, but my father was at Clark Air Force Base from 1986 to 1989 in the Civil Engineering Department of the US Air Force, and I was in high school at the time. In particular, in 1988, a friend and I from the Wagner School (foreign school of the Ministry of Defense) sat in front of her house around 2100 (9:00 pm) and watched the plane at high altitude, performing loops and sharp turns and other maneuvers.

At the time, it only looked like a single point of light, similar to the yellow navigation light of an airplane. We watched it for about five minutes, and finally it flew through the full moon, and we saw that it was a round object about the size of a quarter of the moon, without wings, vertical stabilizer or protrusions. It shocked both of us because we thought it was one of the F-4 Phantom planes they used to fly at Clark Air Force Base. 

The ship slowly continued to maneuver until we lost our position above its roof. We thought about it for a few minutes, put it down to imagination, and kept joking until about 23: 00 (23:00).

Before I went outside with my girlfriend to head home, a streak of light like a shooting star flashed overhead at low altitude on a horizontal trajectory and went out before it met the tree line in front of us, I believe it's a hundred yards in front of us. I don't believe it was a meteor or a shooting star, due to the fact that I seemed so low in altitude and didn't seem to be descending, but rather flying at an even altitude at high speed. It really threw both of us into a panic, and I called my dad to pick me up instead of walking 2 blocks to my home on the base.

As far as I can remember, what I am writing is as accurate as my memory allows, given that it happened fifteen years ago, yet I have never forgotten what we both witnessed together that night. 

I'm not saying that this report has anything to do with the Pilot's account of the orange disk, but stranger things have happened in the Philippines than what was presented to you. We never talked to anyone about the flying sphere (as far as I know from her side), not out of fear or ridicule, but we just put it down to one crazy night on the most superstitious island in the southeast.

Just had to share it because of the story I read brought back some memories of that night. I don't mind if you post my experience with my name. I have nothing to hide or fear, the experience I shared with you is what we saw that night at Clark Air Force Base.

This experience made me more open to everything, and if someone told me that they had seen a ghost in their life, instead of passing it off as a psycho, I would listen more carefully to the details and leave intrigued. Now, there may be a common explanation for what we saw that night, however, in my twelve years in the Army (USN), I have yet to see current or special program aircraft look or perform the same as this unit did that night in 1988.

Original news

This may have no correlation to the USAF Airman’s orange UFO account, however, my father was stationed at Clark Air Force base from 1986 to 1989 with the USAF Civil Engineering department and I was in high school at the time. Specifically in 1988, a friend from Wagner High (DOD overseas school) and I were sitting in front of her house around 2100 (9:00P.M.) and were observing an aircraft at what appeared to be high altitude executing loops and tight turning maneuvers.

At the time it only appeared as a single point of light like an aircrafts amber navigation light. We watched it for about five minutes and it finally made a flight path across a somewhat full moon and we saw that it was a circular object roughly about a quarter size of the moon,it had no wings or vertical stabilizer or protrusions. This kind of shocked the both of us because we thought it was one of the F-4 Phantom aircraft they normally flew at Clark Air Force base. The craft slowly continued with the same maneuvers until we lost site of it over her roof. We reflected on it for several minutes and chalked it up to imagination and continued joking around until about 2300 (11:00 P.M.).

Before I started walking toward the street with my friend to head home, a streak of light like a falling star zipped overhead at low altitude in a horizontal flight path and blinked out before it met the tree line in front of us I believe to be a hundred yards in front of us. I do not believe this was a meteor or falling star due to the fact that i seemed so low altitude and didn’t appear to be descending, but, rather, flying at a level altitude at a high rate of speed. This really got us both in a panic and I called my father to come pick me up rather than walk 2 blocks to my house on the base.

Now, to the best of my recollection, what i write is as accurate of an account as my memory permits considering that this occurred fifteen years ago, however, I never forgot that what we both witnessed together that night. I am not saying that this account has any correlation with the Airman’s account of an orange disk, but, stranger things have occurred in the Philippines than what you have been submitted. We never talked to anyone else about the flying sphere (as far as I know on her side), not out of fear or ridicule, but, we just chalked it up to another crazy night in the most superstitious Island in the south east orient.

Just had to share this because of the story I read, brought back some memories of that night.  I don’t mind if you post my experience with my name. I have nothing to hide or be afraid of, the experience I shared with you is what we saw that night on Clark AFB.

The experience left me more open minded to just about anything, if someone told me they saw a ghost in their lifetime, rather than blow them off as being a loon, I am more attentive to listen to the details and walk away intrigued. Now, there may be a worldly explanation as to what we saw that night, however, in my twelve years in the military (USN), I have yet to see current or special programs aircraft look or perform the way this craft performed that night in 1988.

I wish you luck in your voyage to learn the truth and please keep up the good work. Sometimes, even without hard to dispute evidence of (using the term loosely) extra-terrestrial craft, the smoking gun evidence is in the testimonial descriptions of peoples accounts of what they witnessed in our skies that doesn’t seem to fit our everyday notion of what is acceptable, or for that matter, normal. Good luck.
