Unidentified circular object sighted near Manila in 1954

Summary

In November 1954, a medical doctor with a physics background reported a circular object with a flat bottom and a bright orange glow. It was estimated to be 65-70 feet in diameter and 15-20 feet in height, with bright yellow discs on the sides. The object left a visible exhaust trail but made no sound. The witness, considered "fairly reliable," observed it for three minutes and three seconds. Despite his scientific background, he couldn't identify it as a balloon, aircraft, or astronomical phenomenon.

The sighting occurred five miles east of Manila, Philippines, and no conventional explanations were found. The object moved north, made a 180-degree turn, and disappeared at an estimated altitude of 5000 feet. This case stands out for the witness's credibility and the lack of clear answers, adding another mystery to the history of UFO sightings.
