In January of this year, a series of videos appeared which show a UFO hovering of Jerusalem's dome of the rock caused a stir. Discovery News Room wrote producer Ian O'Neill, "the footage shows the light drop and seemingly hovering just above the shrine." After a few moments, and a short Flash-a Flash took out the light, disappear in the night sky. "Videos of the event surfaced and have viral gone since then on YouTube."
O'Neill asked investigating based on my experience images of UFOs and other "inexplicable" phenomena, for my analysis. I researched the video and the circumstances, in which it, and a list of reasons why I have found that the videos were "almost certainly a hoax."
The reaction among UFO believers was fast and dismissive. O'Neill's column on the subject at the time generated more reader comments than any other and remains one of the most commented pieces. The post soon made it CBS News.com, where it generates even more controversy, with almost 100 posters comment on my analysis of the video. Some expressed reservations about the authenticity of the video, but the vast majority of my analysis dismissed, claiming that the video was authentic.
My skeptical statements were ridiculed as biased and uninformed. Typical comments include: "multiple witnesses, video angles from different nationalities." If it is a hoax, then it would be the best of all hoaxes. I think it's real... "; "that most lame explanation for these videos a hoax... ";" "I'm really tired, you to expose your casual studies UFOs... idiots always try"; and "This is a PROPAGANDA article." People know the truth! I wish it was a joke. "This is the unknown."
Other "classic uninformed expose" called my analysis, and said, "Mr. Radford,." If you're going you to assertions, without your homework, then nothing but multiple poster show your ignorance requested a follow-up: "If Ian O'Neill with some follow up research and/or analysis would comment, then it would be helpful to everyone some people in his journalistic ability believe again may have lost."
I am concerned not only in the most distant of O'Neill's journalistic ability, but I am the present an independent follow up analysis: it is a hoax.
A few days ago that announced mutual UFO Network (MUFON), one of the oldest, largest and most respected UFO research organizations in the world, their knowledge of the Jerusalem-UFO. MUFON, organization, a stable of experts, has even though hardly a hard-line skeptical it for the analysis on draw.
According to the statement "MUFON's chief photo and video analyst, Mr Marc Dantonio, said ' I firmly believe that the UFO was not real, for many reasons... this video and the other Jerusalem UFO videos are in my opinion of hoaxes." Dantonio cited some of you several reasons for its conclusion, echoing made points that I in my analysis published in O'Neill's play six weeks earlier.
It seems that finally the skeptical analysis was correct: the Jerusalem UFO video was a hoax. This is of course many UFO believers in a difficult position-if they assume that the Organization of the world largest UFO promotion is also part of an effort to cover up evidence for UFOs...
