A metal piece collected on Phu Quoc Island after the explosion

VietNamNet Bridge – The authorities of the southern province of Kien Giang reported a UFO explosion over Phu Quoc Island to the government on May 27.

An unidentified flying object exploded at about 10am on May 27 over the northern part of Phu Quoc Island, off the coast of the southern province of Kien Giang. The explosion was witnessed by many locals. Local residents found many grey metal pieces, including a 1.5m long piece.

Pham Vu Hong, Chairman of Phu Quoc Island, said the local government continued to search on May 28 for more debris and to rescue victims, if there were any victims.

By the end of May 28, over 10 additional pieces of aluminum alloy had been found. All of the metal pieces are painted green-yellow, without any markings. The largest piece is 70x150cm.

The island district authorities contacted airline companies in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, but as of 10pm yesterday, none had reported that any of their flights were missing.

The Air Traffic Management Agency confirmed that at the time of the explosion, there was no Vietnamese aircraft, civil or military, flying over Phu Quoc Island. This is international airspace.

Experts of the Ministry of Defence went to Phu Quoc Island today, May 29, to analyse the metal pieces to determine whether the UFO was an aircraft, a missile or something else.
