UFO over Jerusalem

If it isn’t an elaborate hoax, there was an astonishing UFO event in the Middle East this weekend that is generating a buzz on the UFO forums. At 1 am on January 28, a bright white orb was filmed by three witnesses directly over the Dome of the Rock on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. After hovering high in the air, it descends slowly to just over the dome, hovers there for a while, then gives off two bright flashes and shoots rapidly upward.

Two witnesses filmed this scene from what looks like about a mile away. The clearest is this one:

The cell-phone video taken by the man visible in the first video is next. Overall the video is not in as sharp focus as the first.

In both of the above videos, a group of red lights are seen moving overhead after the white orb has disappeared.

A video then surfaced of the same event, filmed by tourists from a much closer vantage point:

It looks very convincing — and again, if it’s not an elaborate hoax, it’s pretty incredible. However the location of the event — over one of the most sacred places to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and hotly contested by all three — gives some cause for suspicion that the videos could be part of a viral marketing campaign. Stay tuned.
