Jerusalem UFO, Third Video Of Same Event 1/28/2011 Most See!!!

"The third video (though mistakenly called "second" in its title) was of the UFO from a totally different perspective and with what appeared to be many voices. One was a lady from Mississippi. The video was proven to be a moving computer effect added over a still picture easily found HERE. The clip is clearly a Hoax and a bad one at that. Truly the work of a desperate and loathsome huckster."

Here is the 4th witness video synced up with videos 1 & 2, the two other most likely to prove authentic in my opinion. The light flash is consistent, as is the acceleration speed of the object as you will see, unlike witness 3's video.

Original Story:
Two witnesses who happened to be at the Armon Hanatziv panoramic lookout over Mount Zion and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel at 1am managed to film what might be one of the most interesting UFO clips ever captured (see video below). The sighting took place only yesterday on the morning of the 28th of January.
The men notice the large ball shaped UFO suspended in the night sky and begin to film. At a little after one minute into the clip the UFO descends almost to ground level directly over the Temple Mount. The craft hovers there for a short while and then flickers and shoots upwards at an incredible speed, to the shock of the witnesses.

Ok, this was a little tricky but I managed to grab some screen shots of 02WS Jerusalem's weather cam

So the above picture is this in google maps. The rock is shown as (A): 

As mentioned from another poster, this cam can be found HERE and all you need to do is punch in the date 28-01-2011. It takes pictures once every 10 minutes. Sooooo...

I went through every single day from the beginning of January and all images from the cam are the exact same as the first picture. Except these...

Now, remember I said I went through everyday of January to see if this is a common occurrence. Perhaps a street light, a yard light, or some kind of light on a timer but nothing. Not even a plane in the sky. I was expecting to see this light appear at least once but nadda. Yet, this light appears at the exact same time the witnesses say and at the exact same location. Coincidence? Maybe, but I don't believe in coincidences. I actually saw it flash in there about three times but I couldn't pause it quick enough.

I know this post may seem weak but until you go through every day I did and then suddenly see this appear in the correct location and time then I have to wonder hmmmm.

Thanks for stopping by

Gotcha! Hoax! Debunking video#4:

But before that, please bear with me as I introduce a quick background on digital cameras and the video they come up with:

(Some quick credentials first: I'm not just an armchair philosopher lolz. I used to be a cameraman, a video editor, and other stuff related to postprod, and I'm currently a producer, with some CGI background as I have worked on several CGI projects in both producing and hands-on capacities, solving and troubleshooting problems on a variety of levels):

Technical background (important):

There are 2 ways a camera can capture moving images (a sequence of still frames):

• "Interlaced" capture - each captured frame is a actually made up of 2 separate alternating fields each captured at a slightly different slice of time. In postprod, this creates "combing" effect (where the 2 interlaced fields reveal themselves especially for objects or scenes captured while in motion).
• "Progressive" capture - each captured frame is a whole frame. But there are 2 types of shutter variants:
• "Rolling Shutter" - each frame is captured one line at a time.
• Observable artifact #1: creates wobbly deformation of objects or scenes with respect to the orientation of the image sensor (either horizontal or vertical). Common weakness of cameraphones and DSLRs.
• Observable artifact #2: external light flashes captured by the camera appear cut off within a single frame (when the duration of the flash is shorter than the time it takes to expose each frame)
• "Universal Shutter" - all pixels (and therefore all lines) of each frame are captured all at the same time.
• Observable artifact: no wobble, but creates simple motion blur for moving objects or scenes, regardless of image sensor orientation.

1. A digital camera can only take a shot either in progressive or interlaced mode, but not both at the same time. 

2. This sequence of frames from Video#4 show both interlacing artifacts and motion blur artifacts (supposedly due to quick motion), IN THE SAME FOOTAGE! This can't happen in reality, because the camera is either shooting in interlaced, or shooting in progressive, but NOT BOTH. Either everything that's revealing in the clip reveals interlacing, or progressive - not both.

3. So Video#4 is tampered with in the following sense:

1. The background footage was shot in interlaced mode as most consumer camcorders do
2. The CGI orb was composited into the interlaced background as a progressive image (in fact, the project settings is done in progressive mode - it can't be done any other way unless you know the "nuts and bolts" of your comp system (many thanks to Pinke's U2U for explaining to me how to do that)
3. The resulting final video is exported in progressive frames
4. Video comes out with a mixture of progressive and interlacing artifacts, which no camera can do, and it wouldn't make sense for a camera to do so.
5. Ergo, HOAX

•This video was made JUST FOR FUN.
•This video was made JUST TO TRY TO REPRODUCE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE ORIGINAL VIDEO.
•This video only shows how easy is to reproduce what happens in the original video
•This video was made so the people can have a better perspective and try to be open to the possibilities.
•The effects showed on this video can be better done with more time and skills

the original video is real? is fake? that is up to you.

Did anyone happen to see this posting by Eli Gael (original uploader) on unexplained-mysteries.com? I had to pull it up from the Google cache (strange that it would have been deleted). The guys sounds very legit to me. He also says toward the end that a friend of his has another yet unreleased video that was shot 25 minutes earlier:

From Google Cache

Hello i am eliyahu, the person who originally uploaded the jerusalem ufo video youtube.com/user/eligael

Myself and my friend filmed in the early hours of saturday morning (between 1 and 5 past 1am to be exact) a shining huge orb like object which hovered for about 10 minutes, when we filmed it, it seemed to only about 30 seconds later descend above the temple mount where the western wall is on one side, the dome of the rock the other - both amongst the most sacred places in the world for islam and judaism, it hovered there for less than ten seconds before emitting a flash on the ground underneath, and shooting up directly at the speed of light. after this, there was a load of spinning red lights in the sky, flickering ferociously at each other, this lasted about 30 seconds.

Let me explain something to you, us israelies are not hoaxers, we are not lame people sitting in gardens with nothing better to do than film it. israelies are serious people, they are surrounded by countries full of regimes who want israel at a country destroyed, most israelies unless exempt, join the army for training at 17/18.. your picking the last country to have created a hoax from.

I am jewish israeli myself, born in jerusalem, but moved to the uk with family in the 1990s, i still go to israel once every couple of years.

If i can explain a couple of things about the video. number one - even though its a busy area with people there 24/7 it was stil 1am, hardly the time when anyone is still awake and alert to be filing something silent in the air with the huge western wall in front of them.
secondly this was early hours of the sabbath morning, most jews who would have been there would be religious jews who are stricly prophibited by their religion from driving cars using fones etc on their sabbath, so no its not like theyd be `tons of people there with camera ability)

On a very positive note my friend caught some really good footage of the same thing descending earlier, roughly about 25 minutes before we were filming, and he caught it spliting into three orbs and shooting up and down, but no flash that time. He hopes to be getting that uploaded and i will let you know when so.

This has been a very long introduction, and im happy to answer any questions plus you should know too Israel is a huge hot spot for ufos, we get them all the time over military bases.

A rather eye-catching piece of news was reported Thursday with regard to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the downing of what appears to be an actual UFO, an unidentified flying object. It remains a UFO due to the
 fact that the flying object has yet to be identified. At present, according to media sources like CNN, the IDF has been unable thus far to find debris of whatever it was they shot down.

According to the IDF, the Israeli Air Force shot the unidentified flying object from the sky above the Dimona nuclear power plant in the Negev Desert. The air force was scrambled as soon as the object appeared in the no-fly zone that exists around the Dimona plant. The IDF said that the air force reacted according to procedure.

The IDF has speculated that the UFO "could have been a party balloon."

According to CNN, there were also unconfirmed reports that the object was motor-driven.

It is reporting on incidents such as this in just this manner that prompts the conspiracy theorists and UFO enthusiasts and researchers toward imaginative speculation and accusation, then crying "cover-up" when further information is withheld or not forthcoming (regardless of the reason). And there appears to be no need, except perhaps to add a little more excitement to the story, because sources much closer to the event provided a much less ambiguous picture of what occurred and what the object actually was.

Israel National News (INN) noted that the object entered Israeli airspace from Jordan, from the southern Dead Sea. Although INN says that the object was "thought to be a balloon," they also report that the Israeli Air Force said "the balloon was unmanned and that this was verified before it was shot down."

A balloon. Unmanned. Identified by the IDF. It seems straightforward.

Not "could have been." No alluding to other reports that the UFO was "motor-driven."

The CNN piece is not straightforward, leaving room for all sorts of speculation as to what manner of aircraft the UFO might have been. The fact that the Israel Defense Forces have been unable to find debris only adds to
 the mystery of the object. That the unidentified flying object entered a no-fly zone, not to mention the IDF shooting the object down, adds a sinister aspect to the story.

Of course, the INN article may have been written with an intent to mislead, as some will no doubt claim. Keeping its content more toward a definitive explanation leaves less room for imaginative conjecture. However, it will not eliminate it.

The Israel National News article was posted at 4:34 p.m., which equates to 9:34 a.m. in the Eastern United States. CNN posted their article at 12:35 p.m., three hours after the story identifying the flying object had been published by INN. But CNN's article does not mention that the object had been "verified" as a balloon by the IDF.

Same story, both told with an ambiguous title teaser. One leaving a lot of room for speculation. One providing an answer, which is saddled with the a question of believability (because when has a government been above obfuscation, misdirection, and outright lying in what they deem national interest?).

In the end, it comes down to: Something was shot down over a Negev Desert nuclear power plant Thursday. It seems to have been a balloon, the debris of which has not as yet been located. What it was not was "unidentified." So, unless one is a distrustful conspiracy theorist or UFO researcher skeptical of any government explanation, Thursday's incident seems to be nothing more than an interesting aside on a slow news day.

Object shot out of sky above Israeli nuclear plant, military says
By the CNN Wire Staff
December 16, 2010 3:16 p.m. EST

Jerusalem (CNN) -- The Israeli Air Force shot down an unidentified flying object over the Dimona nuclear plant in the Negev Desert Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces said.

The object appeared in a designated no-fly zone, the air force was scrambled and the object was shot down, the IDF said.

The object could have been a party balloon, the IDF said, but forces have not yet found the debris to determine what it was.

There have been unconfirmed media reports that it was a motor-driven object. The air force reacted according to procedure when the object was spotted, the IDF said.

The Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz reported that last October "IDF warplanes intercepted an Israeli ultralight aircraft that accidentally flew into the area and forced it to land at an airstrip in southern Israel."

It also reported that "an Israeli surface-to-air missile downed a crippled Israeli fighter-bomber that strayed into the restricted zone" during the Six Day War in 1967. The craft's pilot was killed.

An Israel Air Force fighter jet shot down an unidentified flying object that penetrated Israeli air space early Thursday afternoon. The object is thought to have been a balloon. Investigation of the incident is ongoing.

The object entered Israeli airspace from Jordan, over the southern Dead Sea. There was concern that it would go near the nuclear plant in Dimona, which is located near the spot where the object was shot down.

No one was hurt. IAF sources said the balloon was unmanned and that this was verified before it was shot down.

Flight routes in the skies over the Negev were severely limited in the course of the incident. Some flights were delayed and pilots of commercial flights were instructed to maintain low-altitude flight paths.

An earlier aerial incident over the Dimona Nuclear Research Center occurred in October 2009. An ultralight aircraft entered the restricted airspace over the sensitive installation, IAF jets were scrambled and it was forced to land at a landing strip near Arad.

The Dimona plant is believed to be high among the targets that Iranian puppet militia Hizbullah's missiles would attack if a war between Israel and Iran broke out. Israel's retaliation in such a case would probably be devastating. The Jewish State's missile defense programs are reportedly mostly in place to protect its sensitive facilities and not its civilian population centers.
