Jerusalem UFO Video

So there has been a recent sighting of a UFO in Israel on January 28th, 2011 at approximately 1:00 AM. Since then, several videos have sprung in connection with the event. Among the landfill of youtube'd videos we find four of which that have grabbed our attention... well at least some more so then others, but I will get to that in a moment.

Video 1 (Up for debate) *The video that started it all

Video 2 (Up for debate) *The man from the first video's perspective

Video 3 (Proven to be fake) *Uploaded by some person from the US.

This is nothing more then a still image. Still image has been provided below.



Video 4 (Up for debate) *I believe this is was uploaded by people who were there.

Interesting things to note
A - Location where UFO was near
B - Location where video 1 & 2 were shot
C - Location wehere video 4 was shot



Now I am sure that with todays technology it is easy to create a video such as this. Afterall, people were once fooled by the an old radio broadcast where an alien invasion occurred in New Jersey, and that relied on nothing more then sound. Yes, I have scoured the internet and have seen all the videos that debunk one another. I for one am not sold on the horizon perception theory. But thats the problem with any paranormal video out there. One can always scream debauchery and find that no matter what, there is no such thing as a proof positive piece of evidence.

Though I do have to wonder, how elaborate will a hoax go and for what purpose? It certainly seems that video 3 is clearly fake, and with over 400,000 views, I can't help but wonder, why would someone put out a deliberate fake. To ride the attention of reality, or to cover it up? Asking....ney pursuing questions like this can easily lead toward a spiral of confusion with every possible theory...well that's just it, everything and anything can be possible. Swamp gas, ball lightening, angels, aliens space craft, secret government space craft, hoaxers, government hiding reverse engineered alien space craft, greed, viral marketing for this summer's alien movie...etc and etc.

I guess in times of global change, of social revolution, UFOs are almost a reminder that if there is some form of intelligent life out there that has visited us over the years, we better hope they don't do to us what Europe did when it colonized America. I for one do not want to open up an Intergalactic Casino.

Now the 4th video appeared on the internet on Febuary 1st, and received very little attention, especially considering that it provides a much better angle of the event. I am curious to see if any more witnesses will come out, or will this fall into the internet abyss and become forgotten? What can I say, this white russian, just wants to believe. Thoughts?

Have their been any reports from people near the temple who witnessed it also? If it was a publicity stunt I would think it would have been in the papers there. Was it? I believe there is something out there. How stupid can we be to believe we are the only inteligent species in our universe. But...that's just my opinion.

The videos don't convince me at all. I'm not saying I'm a skeptic.I agree with kimberly. It is foolish to think we are alone in the universe!I don't like to come right out and say if I think it's real or fake though.I'm far from being an expert.

I sent you a few videos of the event, and the 'debunking'. First off, I would like to say that I hate debunking when it comes to UFO's because I actually believe in their being intelligent life beyond our own, and I think what debunking usually does is cancel out the possiblity of this existing. Now the debunking videos, I gave them props because they went and did a little bit of work on them, and showed that at least 2 of the vdeos that were shown were most likely fabricated.

But I still believed it. Not only because for me something like this is completely plausible, and I'm intrigued by the idea of other worldy life forms, but because of the one I didn't see until you brought it to our attention( #4). The fourth one was recorded in real time. The UFO is not above the Dome like a couple of the other ones, it actually moves around it and then goes up. And the lights in the sky (which seems consistent with all the ones which still seem like they are 'up for debate') are still unexplainable, and I haven't seen any video trying to debunk that.

Now there are things to consider. If this is false, is it a part of viral campaign? JJ Abrams went above and beyond to creep people out with Cloverfield, and it just so happens that his new movie 'Super 8' has to do with aliens that have escaped Area 51. A lot of people who saw the videos speculate that it might have to do with this. The question is--how far will a viral campaign go to promote a film?

I believe in other intelligent life. There is no doubt in my mind about it. Is what we saw real? It might be, it might not be, but it sure did catch my attention. It made me think of what is happening to this world--things you actually mentioned on the blog, and what we have done as humans have done, and what can and would be done to us. I can't say I would be surprised if other life came to take us over. We are a destructive, self destructive race, who is mainly self serving. Sometimes I think that an alien invasion wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to this planet.

I'm sure there's a smattering of all three, real, fake and viral/promotional. That being said, what is "real". A 'real' UFO is just something that isn't identified. Could it be alien craft, yes. Could it be government craft, yes. Could it be something else, sure can. There has GOT to be something else out there, but are they HERE, I don't know. Though...if you look at cave paintings... : )

I've been wanting to write on this subject for a while, so here's a link to my blog on UFOs and UAPs, as well as my own photo of a UFO.
