UFO filmed over Jerusalem.

[barracuda]

Yes, it's All News Web, but interesting...

Two witnesses who happened to be at the Armon Hanatziv panoramic lookout over Mount Zion and the Dome of the Rock/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.

In the first film, above, you can see the guy in front filming the second video, below, on his phone:

Possibly Muhammed and Gabriel flying in on a winged horse.

"We've seen 'em in mississippi like this, but never, never, like this."

These films look like advertisements for something. That last one was totally fakey.

[MacCruiskeen]

Now what the hell was that? Three separate films from two separate locations make it pretty clear that it certainly wasn't a forgery or a video artifact.

[brainpanhandler]

Really? What would it look like if it didn't look fakey? What was fakey about it?

[barracuda]

It wasn't that it looked wrong - it's the script that's weak.

In what way fakey?

For one thing, the sheer giggly boneheadedness of the responses on the soundtrack sounds pretty authentic to me.

But most advertisements are competently scripted (and well-filmed).

What would it look like if it didn't look fakey? What was fakey about it?

Good question. Reminds me of this Wittgenstein anecdote:

Meeting a friend in the corridor, Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) said: "Tell me, why do people always say that it was natural for men to assume that the sun went around the earth rather than the earth was rotating?"

His friend said: "Well, obviously, because it just looks as if the sun is going around the earth."

To which the philosopher replied: "Well, what would it look like if it had looked as if the earth were rotating?"

What would a genuine UFO film look like? And by what criteria would we establish its genuineness?

In the third vid I think that's a function of the fact that they're American tourists. I'm with Mac on my initial impression. Sounds genuine. That's how I suspect American tourists would respond. Just part of the show.

- Too many cameras now.
- The responses seem too boneheaded.
- "Holy Shit!"
- The Mississippi accent, a Hollywood cliche for the sincere rube.
- "Ooooooo" (laughter)

I don't know - it sounds very typically scripted. But I could be wrong.

[brainpanhandler]

The "holy shit" response does sound fakey, but it could be that the person uttering "holy shit" is fakey. Presumably those are American tourists in the holy land. I guess "holy shit" is somewhat less blasphemous than "Oh my fucking god", but still.

[brainpanhandler]

How come there's no flash in the third vid? And why does the third vid stop so abruptly?
