The Jerusalem UFO is a fraud, according to the below video.
Nonetheless, at least one of the films shows automobiles in the foreground going down a road. Is it possible to use the same explanation? Furthermore, the video in question was an outlier among the ones accessible. It was the English-language video, in which a lady laconically remarks on the lack of something similar in Mississippi. This was also the only video that didn’t include the enigmatic “camera flash.”
I have no doubt that this one is falsified for whatever reason, but I’m not sure we should throw away the baby with the bath water just yet.
I was intrigued by a commenter’s question: “Does this narrative exist outside of YouTube?” To put it another way, how has this been covered in your community? Has the Israeli press talked to more witnesses who saw the bizarre occurrence but were unable to videotape it?
I went to the Jerusalem Post’s website, the city’s sole English-language newspaper, and searched their archives for the phrase “UFO.” The lone hit came months ago in a piece concerning Winston Churchill and Dwight D. Eisenhower’s alleged cover-up during WWII.
So this world-shattering incident, which news organizations, websites, and blogs all around the globe are reporting on (without much evidence), isn’t even reported by a local news outlet?
Something isn’t quite right. This is why I am often disappointed with the UFO community nowadays. There’s a lot of “look at this video” going on, but there aren’t many people asking questions. It’s no surprise that most UFO reports go unanswered if this is how they’re handled.
These folks do not want their worldview to be shattered by any answer. It seems that maintaining the status quo as armchair detectives and professional hair-splitters is the wisest option. Sure, a small country’s worth of man-hours can be spent digging through old records to discover that a gas station attendant in Roswell noticed a soldier’s boots were laced in an oddly asymmetrical fashion around the time of the infamous crash, but they can’t spend a few hours online fact-checking the veracity of these videos?
This event has piqued my interest. Not just because of the fascinating footage and the fact that it seems that this can be addressed quickly, but also because the story has failed to elicit any action from the UFO community beyond a few fleeting remarks.
“Oh, sure. We certainly watched that movie. Anyhow, as I already said, Peterson’s study from 1973 indisputably establishes that the metal recovered on Henry Thompson’s property was…
I have no doubt that this is a fake. In fact, the more I look into it, the more certain I am. There appear to be no other witnesses than those who posted the videos; the local media has made no mention of the story; and the videos themselves are riddled with inconsistencies.
Apart from the English language film, the most remarkable feature is the almost computer-generated aspect of how the glowing object seems to extend in a warp speed swoosh. When I initially saw these movies, I questioned whether we would have seen the same thing with a camera of that quality.
Also, why don’t we know more about the people who shot the videos? You’d think they’d come out and brag about how they captured it on camera. Why is there so much obfuscation?
I will say this: they did an excellent job of hoaxing these films. Their efforts compelled one die-hard skeptic to sit up and pay attention. Of course, that could be due to the fact that I’ve been stuck inside for the majority of the week due to the ice and snow on the roads outside.
