Dimension22 intends to bring a rational voice to the examination of the abundant evidence that strange things are going on in our skies and even our seas…
I've not had a chance to research this one either, but it's an interesting film supposedly from Israel.
AllNewsWeb says:
"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. 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 Dome of the Rock/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. One of the witnesses, Mr Eli Gael, notes during the filming, in Hebrew, that he is certain that it must be forbidden for civilian craft to hover over Jerusalem in such a manner."
Haven't had a chance to check out the video because I'm posting this from work and they've blocked it.

April 22nd, 2010 Strange lights have been spotted in the sky over Geelong.
BREAKING NEWS AMAZING footage captured by a Highton businessman shows mystery balls of light zigzagging across Corio Bay, prompting speculation it was UFOs. Businessman Anthony Raduka filmed the footage from the deck of his Highton home about midnight on Monday.
The footage shows balls of light flying over Corio Bay at great speed, dipping as low as street level before zigzagging back up through the sky.
The balls change colour and shape during the 20 mins of footage recorded.
Mr Raduka said the light was too fast to be an aircraft and it travelled in irregular directions.

``We have watched fighter jets from our deck when the airshow is on and these lights were going ten times quicker,'' he said.
``It could be a UFO, I don't know what they are. All of the things we thought of didn't explain the fact it changed colour or that it was going so fast.''
Mr Raduka said he had never seen anything like it in his life.
``We just stood there for about half an hour, trying to work out what it could be,'' he said.
``They go over rooftops so they are too low to be an aircraft.''
more euclid ohio sightings; video is not all that impressive and I still think Nick Pope is a disinfo specialist...
EUCLID, Ohio -- For the sixth consecutive night, Eugene Erlikh said a bizarre series of lights flickered outside his apartment building window. "It gets bright, bright, bright," said Erlikh, 20. "Different colors and then it gets dim and as soon as it gets dim, it starts moving from there, this way."
Erlikh said the unexplained light show has appeared in the skies over Lake Erie for six nights and his friend, Nick Hausen, was also a witness. "At first, I figured it was just a star but the way it would move, it would move so fast, I've never seen anything like it."
FOX 8 took the video and pictures to Richard Lee. He is a member of a Cleveland-based UFO club who has tracked the possibility of an alien life form for decades. "The camera is shaking," said Lee. "There's not the controls that you would like to have to do a really in-depth analysis of the video."
However, the self-proclaimed UFO expert said anything is possible because Ohio has a long history of sightings. "It's probably in the top 5 or 10 states as far as the number of sightings and the people involved."
Lee said it's all in the eye of the beholder. But the head of the National UFO Reporting Center said more people need to see it and more research is necessary before it makes anyone else a true believer.
"I couldn't say what it is, I'm not an astronomer," said Erlikh. "I have absolutely no expertise in this field, but I can guarantee you that it is not human!"
FOX 8 checked with NASA's Glenn Research Center. A spokesperson said they have a few aircraft that perform routine testing, but those planes were not flying the past few nights.
allnewsweb is often a wee bit credulous, IMHO, but this video is interesting to say the least. I need to do followup research to determine if anything further has come out of this, but time is (next to money) always insufficiently available...
I still think Nick Pope is a disinfo agent for MI5. This video, which I need to find on YouTube if it's there, could be pretty interesting. There's only a still from it in this article, unless my corporate firewall is blocking the YouTube link -- always a possibility.
It is very difficult to believe this video is not fake, but the poster has a good story behind it and I don't have the gear nor the time to examine the video in depth, but at the first few viewings it's hard to see anything obviously fake except that the content seems too good to be true. But I present it in the interests of keeping an open mind.
Some really amazing nighttime footage from Chile, if this was faked the photog should get an oscar, really. Several lights, at times seeming like part of or or two larger objects, but then clearly operating independently and then combining with each other again differently before moving off, really fascinating video...
I was ready to believe the Russian Rocket story for the Norway Spiral, until I came across the CHINESE spirals, right around the same time, as far as I can tell -- it's all in Chinese! Some Mandarin speaker want to clue us in on what's being said?
Also, some documentary about the China Spiral, with some good spiral images though I'm not sure if they're 'reconstructions' or authentic....
And here's some interesting footage of the Norway spiral:
I have to say, the 'tail' at the lower right corner lends credence to the rocket theory, but the video says at one point in the caption that there was a similar object in January 2009! So the Russians had the same problem twice? Hmm... Here's some more Norway spiral stuff, mostly stills.
AND, here's a spiral UFO video from Russia from 2006? Is 'spiral' a new UFO type?
Interestingly, a lot of the UFO/Conspiracy sites are claiming this is evidence of a test of Project Blue Beam, which is technology designed to project giant images into the sky to fool people into believing in the Anti-Christ or some such, pulling in HAARP and other stuff....I hadn't heard of Project Blue Beam before....
I've been remiss in posting the last couple months, the recession is kicking my ass and I've been concentrating on staying afloat. But I hope to post more here in the near future, maybe even get the Drupal site up I've been threatening for ages. Drupal will let me organize the site better, so I can put some real value-add to the UFO stuff, and hopefully stand out from amidst the many many UFO blogs out there. How you ask? By starting to draw the connections and organizing the information in a useful way, with the intent that it all get rated, connected, and contextualized, which is the only way any scientific light will ever be shed using the evidence we have so far. Skeptics will continue to argue each and every individual sighting, no matter if it's on radar or 10,000 people see it, and so trotting out sighting after sighting is pointless. What the UFO community should be going after at this point in time, after 60+ years of sightings, pix, videos, etc. is how to put all this information together in ways that will allow any patterns to emerge, and for connections to be made. We need to put all the data we have so far in its proper place according to time and date, relevant geospatial data, the type of objects or whatever seen, and the type and number of witnesses and other evidence, so we can make correlations across the data and see if we can prove via scientific statistical means that there is something going on, or once and for all if it all is just mass hysteria, Venus, and swamp gas.
As pompous and arrogant as it may sound, I hope to start to do that with the Drupal version of Dimension22, which I hope to have time to do one of these days. I've got the site installed, I basically just need to build a nifty template for it, do the taxonomy and the rss feeds, and start the laborious process of adding the content, both from this temporary blog as well as all the on- and offline stuff I've been wanting to post.
I've got a huge backlog of stuff to put up, that I hope I can someday get to, but in the meantime, here's some interesting nighttime footage of something with non-standard blinking lights and of considerable apparent size, as far as can be ascertained. Hard to tell what it is, but it's pretty clear what it isn't -- a helicopter or plane, unless it's one with really illegal lights!
I don't usually post stuff on crop circles, as fascinating as they are, because since so many English Tossers think it's amusing to hoax them, the field (no pun intended) is even more fraught with false leads than the rest of UFOlogy. But this one was pretty interesting. You can see two flashes of light, and then if you look closely, some dark things of some sort moving around in the field. The setup for filming was pretty sophisticated, using 4 IR cameras for parallax, and then another dude went and filmed the same area during the daytime to make sure that it matched up. An intricate, 'woven' crop circle was discovered in that same spot the next morning, with the wheat apparently interleaved like a basket! Check out the videos (there are several) at the link in the title...
This recent video from Mexico is truly astounding, and I am at a loss how these could be explained away. It's got lots of reference points in continuous video, and shows multiple self-luminous objects zipping about clearly under some sort of control. Furthermore, scores of these luminous objects appear to come from the central object, and even those that don't simply appear from out of nothing! Really neat stuff. How come Mexico gets all the nifty ones? ;)
This video, if authentic -- which I doubt -- is pretty nifty. It shows some weirdo object spinning over a city (presumably Amsterdam), that then takes off amazingly quickly, doing a nice STNG flash thing. Pretty good fake though, IMHO, although I'd love to be proved wrong about this one (about the fake part)....
by themselves, neither one of these reports is all that interesting, but I find it curious that within a couple of days of each other, there are these two reports that are so similar as to be very eerie. Both are very subtle circles hanging motionless in the sky, hardly visible.... The first is the one from Kings Dominion, VA, which actually has some video to go with it. The second, is a single photo that only showed a strange circle when the photographer was looking over his photos after uploading. By themselves, either of these could be easily dismissed as whatever, but these are 3 days apart, this particular one from Texas. I just found that curious enough to post both of these as a potentially related phenomenon. Also if you poke around the YouTube video some, you'll find this one, which shows some other similar rings from previous decades, with some more discussion on the 1957 sighting available at UFOCasebook.
ok this is totally whack. It's all in spanish so i have little enough idea of what the hell they're saying, but the video is definitely a strange one....
A skeptical yet open-minded survey of UFO phenomena. Neither credulous fools nor close-minded dogmatists - We're scientists. We look at data, we analyze evidence and we examine patterns. We'll show you what we saw, tell you what we think, then let you draw your own conclusions.
