Jerusalem UFO Videos
February 7th, 2011Someone wrote in to ask my opinion of the Jerusalem UFO videos.
Here’s what I wrote back:
After years of seeing “lights in the sky” on YouTube, I just assume some kind of scam. It’s not that I think that it’s impossible that some of them are genuine UFOs (I have seen the real thing myself, with my own eyes), but YouTube is practically more trouble than it’s worth.
If the “real thing” was to appear… on YouTube, I’d probably think it was a scam.
I will say, however, that the way the Jerusalem thing “left” was exactly how the one I saw “left”.
My account of what I saw is here, just FYI:
You may notice that I briefly mention a UFO sighting that I had, along with a friend of mine, when I was 14. Let it suffice to say that I am 100% certain that what I saw was not any standard aircraft, satellite, Chinese lantern, remote controlled toy, meteor, planet, star, swampgas, weather balloon, etc. The object demonstrated flight capabilities that were very far beyond what was publicly acknowledged as possible back then (1985), or now.
The rational explanation is that the craft was related to some military black project, but I doubt that explanation. Why would a spherical craft, that looked like a yellow/orange ball of plasma, be flown low to the ground in a densely populated area? Also, the craft moved over a reservoir that served as a municipal water supply (see: UFOs and water) and hovered there for about a minute. Potentially, thousands of people could have seen the display.
It went from hovering, to moving left a few dozen feet, then right a few dozen feet, and down a few dozen feet. As it was doing this, my friend and I both agreed that it must be some sort of high performance helicopter. Indeed, that’s what it looked like. A helicopter could move in that manner. Then, literally in the blink of an eye, it shot up and out of the atmosphere and disappeared. I’m not sure if I saw motion blur from the incredible speed, or an arc of ionized air behind it, but it didn’t go straight up. It went in an arc that was perhaps 20 degrees off vertical from the starting position by the time it disappeared from sight. There was no perceivable acceleration. It went from an almost static hovering position to… I don’t know how fast; maybe several thousand miles per hour. But there was no sound of any kind. There should have been a sonic boom.
Whether you believe me or not, it definitely happened. I know that I saw the object and whatever the explanation is, that experience was proof to me that there is much more to reality than the so-called “normal” mind is willing to consider.
While my sighting resulted in a lifelong fascination with the UFO topic, I have drawn no conclusions at all as to what is actually happening. I have no idea what to make of any of this.
