The Chanel2 TV
broadcast of the program
“Foreign Guests”/29
February, 2004
The program produced by
Ilan Shushan
, from “Elza” studios,
and broadcasted on TV, channel 10. This broadcast was a
breakthrough from the explanatory aspect, and from the
fact that matters discussed there in a way, never saw on
Israeli television.
First - we could observe
the video filmed by
Oron Sultan
from Beit-Shemesh
(Journal No. 41, October 2003). It was an important
videotape. We clearly see in it unidentified flying
objects. In addition, we can hear the sound of these
UFOs’.
Second - for the first
time, we hear the response of the IDF Spokesman,
referring to the UFOs’ phenomena in Israel.
Third – an international
importance: the response of the former IDF Air Force
commander, Ret.Gen. Avihu Ben-Noon, responding to
the videotape.
Ret.Gen. Avihu
Ben-Noon said, while watching
Oren Sultans’
videotape: “Its, no doubt, a thing I never saw something
like it, and I’m not familiar with such a thing. We
can’t see here assembly logics. I don't recognize any of
these crafts. I’m not familiar with such an aircraft
with a sound like this. The sound isn’t a helicopter
sound nor an airplane sound. If UFO’s do exist, it might
be a UFO. Anyway, it’s interesting, and I recommend
investigating it. Meaning, giving the air force to
investigate it” – end quote.
This is the IDF spokesman
response, given to the program editor: “The Israeli air
force isn’t familiar with any unit, which investigates
UFO’s. The Israeli air force does anything it can; to
protect Israeli skies with its control units. There is a
possibility, that in these areas was airplane activity,
and airplanes were seen, considering the fact that these
areas are under the air force courses. The Israeli air
force doesn't recognize the existence of UFO’s.”

Ma’alot/2
February, 2004
Shimon Rosenberg
says: “I went to a walk with my dog in the afternoon,
around 17:00 – 17:05. When we arrived to the location,
where we usually turn back home, I looked to the left
(general direction west). The sky was blue and nice, but
cloudy. Exactly at the location where the clouds were
ripped, I saw in their left side a “lighted stripe” by
the twilight sun. its’ color was orange-red. In the
beginning I thought it was an airplane trail, but it
didn't extend backwards like an airplane trail, but
moved as one piece. It was far away from me, and its’
length was between 2.0 – 2.5 centimeters (comparing to
an extended arm, holding a ruler). The object moved to
the north, from my point of view.
It flew steadily, at
mediate speed, in altitude of 25º-35º above the horizon.
I watched it for about 30 seconds, until it disappeared
in the right side of the sky. I should notice, that the
stripe didn’t seem to be wide, probably because it was
far from me. It was very exiting, after a long time, to
observe a UFO again.”.
I want to add (Abi
Greiff),
that Shimon’s phone call, came after I received the
witness of Yehudit from Haifa (see above).

Ha’chof Road,
between Hadera and Natanya/ 2 February, 2004
Yehudit
from Haifa claims: “My husband, me and our two children,
drove from Haifa to the south. At 16:50 or at 17:00,
when we were in the road sector between Hadera and
Natanya, the children shouted for us to look. We looked
to the west, and we saw something orange and elongated
coming down from the sky. Shining diagonally from its’
top to its bottom.
It changed its’ direction
and started to fly horizontally. From our point of view,
it was 1 meter in size and its’ width was 10
centimeters. It didn't fly quickly, and it looked like a
bright orange trail of fire. It entered into the clouds
and went out of them. We saw it for 2 minutes, until it
disappeared inside a big cloud”.

Tsfat/ 17
February, 2004
The witness,
Ron Sharvit,
19 years old, stood in the city, next to a vehicle with
a friend and an adult. He says: “At 19:30 I saw
blue-green lights, in an airplane flight altitude. They
came in two pairs above the city”. The witness sounded
frightens and worried. He was interested if there is a
contradiction between the existence of extraterrestrials
and his religious traditional faith.

Sajur, next to
Carmiel/ 17 February, 2004
Ron Shoval
, 18
years old, from Tel-Aviv tells us, what happened when he
was in a trip, along with six friends: “it happened when
we walked on the road from Sajur to Carmiel. At 19:30,
we saw above us, a lighted blue-green object, moving
fast. It was in the size of an airplane. When we
observed the object, we noticed at four lights moving in
pairs. The brightness of the light changed, sometimes
weakened and sometimes became stronger. We heard no
sound, and observed it for less then one minute”. The
witness sounded excited. He said: “It was something
weird”.

Hod Ha’Sharon/
10 March, 2004
The witness, named
Moti Ashkenazi
, reports that
in west direction from his observation location, between
Riding and Herzelia, he saw a very bright object,
brighter then a star, that four beams of light came out
of it. For his estimation, the object was 1 kilometer in
altitude. The witness lives in the area for 2 years, and
never saw such a sight. At 21:00, the object wasn't seen
anymore.

Ramat-Gan/ 11
March, 2004
The witness came, thanks
to our center member,
Mr. Giddon Polani. The witness, a computer
engineer, named
El'dad
tells: “I saw in the sky two lighted objects, separated
one from each other. It happened when I watched from my
porch. I took binoculars and noticed it wasn't a star,
but an elongated rectangular object, surrounded with
spots of light. It was in west direction. After an hour,
I didn't see it anymore”.

Kfar Hannanya/
12 March, 2004
The settlement is located
next to Kibbutz Parud, next to the junction leading to
Tsfat and Kiriat-Shmona.
The
Bloom
family was the witnesses to this event: the mother
Smadar , the father, the two boys, the
grandfather and the grandmother.
The father, who left the
house around 19:30, saw something very bright in the
sky, in north-west direction. He said it wasn't a star
and was very unusual in that area. The object wasn't
there before, as long as they live there (for the last
half year). The father called all the family members,
who also witnessed the phenomenon. Afterwards, he took
his video camera, put it on a tripod and videotaped the
object.
We notice in the
videotape, that the UFO seems to come closer and moves
away. Around it, we see shades of red and purple. We can
also observe some kind of a “pulse of light”. Sometimes
we see around it shades of green. In its top and bottom,
we can see something like wicks.
When I came to the area (Abi
Greif), I spoke with the witnesses and watched the
videotape, filmed a day before.
Afterwards, I looked out
of the window to the spoken area, and saw in the sky a
very bright object, bigger and lower then a common star.
It had a yellow shade, different from the color of
stars.
For an hour, along with
the family members, we noticed as the UFO reduced its
light many times, turns to a “dot”, disappears and
reveals again. It happened in unequal intervals of time,
and happened also when the object was in clear sky,
without any clouds. At 21:00, in my way back home, when
I looked at that sky sector, from the location of Zvulun
Valley, and afterward from the Carmel hillside, I didn't
see anything at the sky.
That night, the object
was videotaped again by the family’s father. The UFO was
in a direct line from Kfar Hannanya, above and in
direction of the settlements Moran, Ramah and in
direction of Nahariya.
On the 14 of March 2004,
the family told me they observed that UFO in their way
from Golany Junction at 20:00. The UFO wasn't seen at
21:00.
On the 17 of March 2004,
from 19:30-21:00,
Shimon Rosenberg
observed the same sky
sector, from his location in Ma’alot, but didn't see
anything.

Ma’alot/ 12
March, 2004
I sat in the yard, in
front of my house (Shimon
Rosenberg),
and watched the sky. Suddenly, at 22:55, an object flew
above me, in tremendous speed, which pulled after it a
very long trail (all the length of that sky sector). Its
color was very beautiful, between bluish and bright
purple. It made a very dim whistle sound, I can’t
describe it, but it was very interesting.
As said above, the object
flew in tremendous speed, from south-east to north-west.
It flew in moderate altitude, much closer then my usual
observations.

Ma’alot/13
March, 2004
After the observation of
the last night, I decided (Shimon
Rosenberg)
to make a new observation, starting at 22:45. Indeed, at
this night, at 23:07, a yellow-orange bright object,
crossed the sky for about 1½ seconds, from south to
north. The observation was, when I observed, generally,
to west direction and north-west. This time, the
altitude of the object was very high.

Ma’alot/ 19
March, 2004
Shimon Rosenberg
informs: “At 15:10, I was
in the yard, in front of my house, fixing my neighbors’
sons’ bike. Afterwards, I sat to smoke a cigar.
Suddenly, I noticed that high in the sky above me there
is a dark object, circular, drop-like shape, flying from
south-east to north-west.
The sun was located right
to me, at elevated angle of about 40º, and was hidden by
a tree. The flying object, which was very small (because
of the altitude), moved steadily, in moderated speed.
Next to its location,
where some white clouds, who moved in the different
direction because of the wind (from north-west to
south-east).
In the beginning, I
thought that my eye misleads me, so I called to my
neighbors’ son, and the 10 year boy also saw the object.
The interesting thing is
that I estimated, and hoped, that the object will
continue its flight and will enter the clouds. In that
case, I could estimate its relative height. But when it
came next to the clouds, it turned in a gentle curved
angle to the left (as it wants to bypass the clouds),
and it disappeared a second and a half later.
After understanding that
my eye doesn't mislead me, I expected the object to move
in a “falling leaf” movement, but it didn't happen.
For my estimation, if it
was a balloon or a bird, it couldn't fly so easily
against the wind.
