ISRAELI UFO UPDATE

Greetings,

The Israeli UFO flap - the largest ever - seems to be continuing in full force.

On Monday, July 29th, at 20:30 EET (18:30 GMT) the residents of Yad-Eliyahu, an area in Tel-Aviv, reported seeing two bright lights in the night skies, which proceeded to emmit several smaller lights, coloured red, green and blue. The coloured lights seemed to emerge from the primary lights and continued to fly around independantly. The lights were reported to be the size of ping-pong balls. Police who were called in reported seeing a bright light in the sky. The lights continued to remain in the skies during the night, and vanished only with daybreak. The IDF )Israeli Defence Force) spokesman stated that no UFO reports were received by the Air-Force.

Are we on the bronk of a massive landing, or an invasion? Is this all a ploy by the gouvernment to cover-up experiments with secret high-tech planes?

It is difficult to decide at this point. The only sure thing is that the national media is taking considerable interest in the phenomena, and UFO sightings are reported almost daily in the national media - TV, radio, and papers. The public seems to be quite alert and is reporting sightings constantly - and the media is only too happy to make the issue public.

However, unfortunately there also seems to be an increase in hoax attempts - and the newspapers are not very decriminatory about publishing obviously fake UFO sightings (perhpas encouraged by gouvernment/millitary sources in an effort to discredit UFOlogists).

I shall be keeping you posted.
