What was the Jerusalem UFO?

Answer 1

The Jerusalem UFO refers to an event allgedly captured by a series of videos which went viral in 2011. The videos purport to show a brightly lit unidentified flying object which appeared briefly over the ancient Mideast city of Jerusalem before descending to hover for several moments above the famous Dome of the Rock. Then the mysterious object shoots back up into the sky rapidly before vanishing.

The video was widely dismissed as a hoax by many. Those who contend the supposed UFO was the result of an attempt to dupe the public doesn't just include skeptics either. The chief video and photo analyst for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) also regarded the footage as fake.

The reasons given by skeptic Benjamin Radford to believe the UFO video wasn't real include a lack of light reflected against the dome and the absence of other reports of the event which took place in a crowded area.
