1986: The Square Light Over La Loma, Quezon City, Philippines

On the evening of May 15, 1986, a witness in La Loma, Quezon City watched a large, light-covered object drifting slowly overhead at twilight, describing its shape as square, before it vanished into the darkening sky after about 15 minutes — by his own account, the third time he had seen “the spacecraft,” having first seen a disc-shaped object with his sister back in 1982.

Date: May 15, 1986

Sighting Time: 7:00 PM

Day/Night: Twilight/evening

Location: La Loma, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines

Urban or Rural: Urban — La Loma is a densely populated district of Quezon City within Metro Manila. Filled in from the original blank field.

No. of Entity(‘s): Undocumented

Entity Type: Not Applicable — no entity described

Entity Description: Not Applicable

Hynek Classification: Corrected from the original DD (Daylight Disc) to NL (Nocturnal Light). The witness’s own Day/Night field says “twilight/evening” at 7 PM, and he describes the object vanishing “to dark side” — conditions of encroaching darkness rather than full daylight, making DD a poor fit. See Researcher’s Notes.

Duration: 15 minutes

No. of Object(s): 1

Description of the Object(s): A large object flying overhead at low speed, covered in light, which the witness describes as square in shape. He watched it for 15 minutes before it vanished into the darker part of the twilight sky.

Shape of Object(s): Square, per the witness’s own words (“a shape of square”). Corrected from the original field, which listed “v-shape, round shape and shape like a rocket” — none of which appears anywhere in the witness’s account. This looks like either a data-entry error or content carried over from an unrelated report, and has been corrected to match what the witness actually said.

Size of Object(s): Undocumented precisely — described only as “very big”

Color of Object(s): Undocumented — the witness describes the object as “full of light” rather than giving any color for its body. Corrected from the original field’s “gray color,” which has no support anywhere in the witness’s account.

Distance to Object(s): Undocumented

Height & Speed: Undocumented precisely — the witness describes the object only as moving with “low speed.” Corrected from the original field’s specific “150 ft height and speed of 80 kph,” neither of which appears anywhere in the witness’s own account.

Number of Witnesses: 1 for this specific May 1986 sighting. The witness separately mentions an earlier, distinct 1982 sighting of a disc-shaped craft witnessed together with his sister — a different incident, not part of this event’s witness count.

Special Features/Characteristics: The witness states this was his third sighting of what he calls “the spacecraft,” implying a self-described pattern of repeat experiences. He references an earlier, separate 1982 sighting of a disc-shaped craft with multiple colors of light, witnessed with his sister, as prior context.

Case Status: Insufficient Data — a single-witness account, self-described as one of several repeat sightings by the same individual, with no photograph, no corroborating witness for this specific event, and three fields in the original filing containing specific details unsupported by the witness’s own words

Source: Reported to Think AboutIt

Summary/Description: I saw a flying object overhead of me, flying with low speed and full of light, with a shape of square. It was a very big spacecraft, so I kept looking at the spacecraft for 15 minutes before it vanished to the dark side. This is my 3rd sighting of the spacecraft. But before that, way back in 1982, I saw a flying disk-shaped spacecraft with my sister. This spacecraft has a lot of light, with different colors of light.

Related Cases: Undocumented as a separate archive entry — the witness’s own referenced 1982 sighting with his sister is a distinct incident, not separately recorded on this site

Detailed Report

This report, as originally filed, is a striking example of a mismatch between the witness’s actual words and the structured fields meant to summarize them. The witness’s own account is brief and unembellished: a large, light-covered, square-shaped object crossed overhead at low speed during evening twilight on May 15, 1986, and he watched it for about 15 minutes before it disappeared into the darker part of the sky. He frames this explicitly as his third sighting of “the spacecraft,” referencing an earlier, separate 1982 sighting of a multicolored, disc-shaped object witnessed together with his sister. Nothing else about the object’s structure, propulsion, or occupants is described. The template fields as originally filed, however, list a shape (“v-shape, round shape and shape like a rocket”), a specific height (150 feet), a specific speed (80 kph), and a color (“gray”) — none of which appears anywhere in the witness’s own words. Given the witness’s account is internally consistent and modestly scoped, these unsupported specifics were not something he provided; they appear to be either a data-entry error, template contamination from a separate report, or an unsupported addition made without stated source. All three have been corrected to reflect only what the witness actually said.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES

The Square Light — La Loma 1986 and Three Fields That Don’t Match Their Own Witness

Classification Assessment: DD (Daylight Disc) was a poor fit given the witness’s own stated conditions — 7 PM twilight, with the object vanishing into darkness. Corrected to NL (Nocturnal Light), understanding that twilight sightings sit at the genuine boundary between the two categories.
Source Chain Assessment: This is the clearest example in this recent batch of fields containing specific, precise-sounding details — an exact height, an exact speed, a specific shape list, a specific color — with zero support in the witness’s own account, which is otherwise vague and modest (“low speed,” “full of light,” “shape of square,” “very big”). This is the same false-precision pattern flagged repeatedly elsewhere in this archive’s correction work: invented specificity added on top of a genuinely vague original report. All three unsupported fields have been corrected here rather than repeated.
Evidentiary Weight: No photograph or third-party corroboration accompanies this account. The witness’s self-description as a repeat experiencer (a third sighting, following a distinct 1982 event with his sister) is worth noting as personal context but does not itself add evidentiary weight to this specific 1986 event.
Pattern and Comparative Context: A “square-shaped, light-covered” object description is unusual within this archive’s broader Philippine sightings, which more typically describe discs, ovals, or unstructured lights. Combined with the vague, non-technical language of the account, this reads as a plainly stated personal observation rather than an elaborated narrative.
Geographic and Historical Context: La Loma is a well-known, densely populated district of Quezon City in Metro Manila, part of the Philippines’ most urbanized region. No specific historical pattern of sightings tied to this exact neighborhood has been identified beyond this witness’s own self-reported repeat experiences.

Stripped down to only what its own witness actually said, this is a modest account: a large, lit, square-shaped object, watched for fifteen quiet minutes at twilight, by someone who says he’s seen something like it before. The specific height, speed, shape list, and color that had been attached to it in the original filing belonged to no one’s actual testimony and have been removed. What remains is honest in its vagueness. The case stands as Insufficient Data.
