While long disregarded, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (U.A.P.)'s are now being investigated by Tokyo's military, as per Berlin's state-media D.W.

Beijing is also investigating, as per Moscow's state-media R.T.

Washington also has its own dedicated task force.

Did/Does Manila also study this? Have A.S.E.A.N.'s militaries ever discussed it? What sharable info on does Manila have?
