MANILA,  Philippines — No sighting of unidentified flying object (UFO) has  been reported  yet in the country, the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA)  said Thursday.

PhilSA said this through  Senator Francis Tolentino, who was defending  the agency’s proposed budget next year during  plenary deliberations  in the Senate.

It was  Senate  President  Juan Miguel Zubiri, who  asked about  UFOs, noting that PhilSA could  be a repository of UFO phenomenons.

“Are you also  the agency to go to  if there are sightings of UFO, unidentified  flying objects?” Zubiri initially asked.

“Meron ba silang  alam na mga recorded  UFO sightings sa ating bansa? Kasi yung NASA nilabas na nila e. Yung NASA nag declassify  na ng  UFO records. Iniisip ko baka pwde sila din repository din ng mga  unidentified flying objects phenomenons,” the Senate leader said.

(Do they know any recorded UFO sightings  in our country?  Because NASA has already declassified their  records. I’m thinking that maybe  they can also be  a repository of  unidentified flying objects phenomenons.)

NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Upon consultation with PhilSa officials present in the session  hall, Tolentino  informed the chamber  that the agency has not received any report of UFO sightings in the Philippines.

“…I was informed by the DG that they will try to endeavor pero wala pa daw reported sa’tin na UFO ngayon. Siguro natatakot sa bagyo [there had been no report about UFO, maybe they are afraid of the typhoon here],” the  senator said in jest.

After Zubiri’s queries, the chamber declared the agency’s budget proposal deemed submitted for consideration.
