00:00It's not just rain that can fall from the sky, because here in Pasay, a rock was chosen to fall from the sky.
00:14This is a magnet. The rock is magnetic.
00:30We thought that the rock might have a magnet.
00:35It's magnetic. We were hoping that it would be real.
00:42This rock weighs 10 kilos. Is this just an ordinary rock?
00:45It's a magnet that is worth a million pesos.
00:49If it's proven that it's a magnet, because the weight of the sample is 10 kilos,
00:53the price of this rock can go up to 1 million to 1.5 million pesos.
01:04Where did the rock that was believed to be a magnet come from?
01:08I am Jeneline Batutay.
01:10The rock that was chosen to fall from the sky is my bayao.
01:14Jeneline's bayao went home from work when she saw the rock that seemed to be floating.
01:22Even though it caught her attention, she just let it pass.
01:27When she got home, she saw that Jessica Suho had a rock like that.
01:35She thought that it might be a magnet, so she took it.
01:40I don't want it to be magnetic, guys.
01:43Jeneline and her family were just lucky that the rock was magnetic.
01:49I also tried to use it. It was really magnetic.
01:53I was just surprised that a normal rock is not magnetic.
01:59We also thought that the rock might have a value.
02:04We were just thinking that it might be worth a million pesos.
02:09It's for business.
02:12In the past few years, there have been several times when
02:14there have been bullet holes that didn't go through here in the Philippines.
02:19According to researchers from the University of Manchester and Imperial College London,
02:2417,000 meteorites fall to Earth every year.
02:29Here in the Philippines, only seven meteorites were seen and proven to have fallen to our country.
02:35Three of these can be seen displayed in the National Museum of Natural History in Manila.
02:41The first bullet hole was seen in Pampanga in 1859.
02:44It was followed by Calivo-Aklan in 1916,
02:47where unfortunately, there is no recorded photo in history.
02:51In Paitan, Ilocos Sur in 1910.
02:53In Pantar, Lanao in 1938.
02:56In Bondoquezo in 1956.
02:59In Orkunuma, Oriental Mindoro in 2011.
03:03And this is the only one that was seen in 2022 in Pongo, Quirino Province.
03:09Last January 2023, Jessica Soho released a video of a so-called bullet hole that fell in Bataraza, Palawan.
03:20Residents heard a loud explosion.
03:25The kids were running and screaming.
03:28They saw something flying, a fire.
03:32It was like a rock that fell.
03:34It was like a bullet hole that was flying.
03:38When I saw a falling star, I wished that I could fly.
03:43According to experts, there is a high possibility that it was a bullet hole.
03:47But until now, it has not been found because it could have exploded in the middle of a rocky mountain.
03:57One indication that a rock was a bullet hole is if it has a magnetic connection.
04:02One thing that cannot be done with a rock that was seen by Janeline.
04:07This is because of the iron-nickel metal that can be found inside a bullet hole.
04:11We tried to have a magnet test on others.
04:14The rock that Janeline picked up and the opinions of the people were different.
04:19I noticed that there is a little magnet.
04:24So it is not an ordinary rock.
04:26Is this a normal rock?
04:28Normal.
04:29This is a normal rock.
04:30But did you know that not all bullet holes attract magnets?
04:35Almost all bullet holes attract magnets.
04:38What is an example that is not?
04:40Other lunar meteorites.
04:42But they are very rare.
04:46We decided to have the expert examine the rock.
04:49First, we did a magnet test to compare it.
04:52There is a piece of Barringer meteorite found in Arizona, USA.
04:57It can be seen that there is a strong magnet connection to this meteorite.
05:01But when we tried the same magnet on Janeline's rock, it is not bigger.
05:07This is a strong magnet.
05:17It has almost no attraction.
05:20The reason why the magnet connected to Janeline's video is because the magnets they used were small.
05:28While we were examining the rock,
05:35Is this rock important?
05:38If it is proven that it is a bulalakau because the weight of the sample is 10 kilos,
05:43the price of this rock can go up to 1 million to 1.5 million pesos.
05:47In the initial assessment, what we did was
05:54Before we let the expert examine the rock,
05:56why is there a meteorite or bulalakau?
05:59According to Greek mythology, the reason for the existence of meteorites is the God of Time and the King of the Titans, Cronos.
06:06Cronos is the most powerful in his generation.
06:10And he is also the strongest.
06:15He killed his own father to become the king of the entire galaxy.
06:20And he killed his own children because he was afraid that they would steal his throne.
06:31When Zeus gave birth to Cronos' wife, Rhea,
06:34his wife's appearance could not be hidden anymore.
06:40That is why Rhea hid Zeus.
06:43And she killed Cronos.
06:50When Zeus passed away, he faced his beloved Cronos.
06:55He defeated him in a war.
06:57And he lost his siblings.
07:00But the rock that Cronos swallowed, he swallowed.
07:03And the rock became a person.
07:05He fell and burned in the world of people.
07:12But if science is asking,
07:14meteorites start from small rocks or winds that travel in space.
07:19This is called meteoroids.
07:22When meteoroids enter our atmosphere,
07:25they fire and emit a bright light.
07:29This is called meteors or shooting stars.
07:33Sometimes, they burn in the air.
07:35But when they reach the ground, they are called meteorites or bulalakau.
07:39And the reason why it is so important is because it is rare out of this world.
07:45And it will help science a lot.
07:48Now, let's go back to Badonina Janeline.
07:52When you smell it, it smells burnt.
07:55It smells like a plastic or kerosene.
07:59The burnt smell is very distinct compared to the other side.
08:03So, it is likely that this road is near a garbage dump that is being burnt.
08:09If this is a bulalakau, while it is entering the world, like this one, it is rotating.
08:14So, the distribution of the fusion crust should be even,
08:18which is absent here.
08:20But why is it rotating?
08:22Is this rock still important?
08:24We can see some kind of crystals inside.
08:28It is like small pieces of quartz
08:32that are absent in meteorites.
08:35These quartz are present in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
08:40These are the kinds of rocks that are commonly found everywhere.
08:44So, it is not important or valuable.
08:46Badonina Janeline is an expert in rocks.
08:50In the initial assessment of what we did,
08:53it looks like it is a negative bulalakau.
08:56So, I am sure that it is around 95% that it is not a bulalakau.
09:02Here in our country, we don't have a laboratory,
09:05private or government, that has the ability to test with final authority and inclusivity
09:12that its meteorite is a sample of a rock.
09:15We don't have that technology yet.
09:17It is not available yet.
09:18That is why we always say that you can go directly to laboratories in other countries.
09:23We asked Janeline to be the hot-on expert.
09:27What is your reaction to that?
09:30I will be dismayed because it is not what I expected.
09:36We just hope that it is true.
09:39I have nothing bad to hope for.
09:42But when in doubt,
09:43it is better to consult with an expert.
09:46Rocks in the sky,
09:48if it falls,
09:50it can be lucky.
09:52Aha!
