The Crapology Of UFOlogy - Or - Making Sense of Responses To The Jerusalem UFO

I was once in a restaurant - a `make it in front of you' Japanese restaurant - with my late father in law - when all of a sudden, quite loudly he said, `this is crap'. It turned out that they had forgotten to put the sugar in the dessert. --------- And, indeed, it tasted like crappola. (Initially this article was going to have the word crappola in the title.) And, today, I will not be bringing sugar to the table of UFOlogy.

No; this post will not be `sweet' like the last few days of tracking a most interesting `perplexing' anomalous `UFO' (technically to me an Orb) event that happened in Jerusalem last Saturday early morning. All of the links so far of interest are in yesterdays post, so just go down this page. When you do that you will find the very first thing of interest - the FOURTH video, with different angles, of the `event'.

Even IF you were lucky enough to have been here yesterday - please go look at the video again. -------------------- Pause --------------- So, what do you think of THAT! --------- Someone or something has chosen - to declare the original soundtrack as some kind of hoax, only to replace it with NOTHING and say that essentially nefarious evil forces were messing with the video soundtrack. BTW, nothing seemed `unusual' at all in any of the original soundtracks to me (except for a misperception I had on the timing in the first video).

To me, the removal of what sounded like real reactions, makes the video more one dimensional, and, would bring `into question'  the video portion, right? - hmmm, I wonder why? So, does that make the Fourth video fake? (The fourth video, btw, busted the idea that close up views of the event, ie: the first video, was a video of a Wikipedia page and therefore the first video close up was a fake.)

As I said, I compared side by side the video to the Wikipedia picture and FOUND DIFFERENCES -- anyone can say the opposite of the `perception apparent' data - evidently. (This person may not do well in those find the difference games you find at the doctors waiting room.) One can SAY they are identical, evidently, even if they are not -- and use THAT as a claim to refute the first close up `evidence' ( via the videos). And, as I said in response - anyone who wanted to bring doubt to the whole video data could `create' a fake video to say SEE, IT'S FAKE. ------------- One, when writing up these cases, literally has to form judgements about entire circumstances to keep a sense of clarity.

I also find it amusing that in these `rebuttal' pages already up to `counter' the analyzing of `data' by bloggers on the internet (especially after MSNBC did do the video) -- a little tiny stupid point being made is the one videos `tourist' saying something along the lines of `I seen one in Mississippi' - when indeed they don't use the word Mississippi - but - I believe `Midlothian' -- I guess saying the word `Mississippi' and `I seen one' made them sound stupider (but, why would that matter if the video was a video of a Wikipedia page - isn't that stupid enough).

I also find it amazing that the rebuttal is so well organized - it hasn't even been a F-ing week. Oh, I haven't really even gotten to the real rebuttal - the above `Wikipedia' stuff came from nowhere on the internet but the comment section here. Yeah, the `re-buttalists' are out in force dedicating some time to this within a week. (For all I know, the commenter here got it elsewhere, I assume.)

But, frankly, you almost can't blame them, the rebuttalists. Some folks in the Exopolitics camp are seemingly about to come to orgasm over this event - indeed the religious aspect is like some Frosting on the cake -- triple fudge chocolate by death with molasses - bonus - in the whole UFO Disclosure saga. Here's a brief description on TA today: (The Anomalist)
Gary S. Bekkum makes some key points about the supposed presence of aliens and the believability of the many videos alleging to portray an alien visitation. Bekkum highlights the presence of people he calls "the Cyber Tricksters: Shadowy Avatars tracing their thoughts into your home as a play of light and shadow." Be careful what you believe, Bekkum says, for those who are leading the dialogue may very well not be who you think they are, as he notes in the words "Some are artists; some are cons; some are, apparently, quite clever." Alfred Lambremont Webre has a link to a December Wailing Wall UFO video in his report on the Jerusalem/Temple Mount event as a fulfillment of a now deceased UFO prophet's vision, as seen in..."

Exopolitics: Politics, Government, and Law in the Universe

Ufo Conspiracy Theorists: Donald Keyhoe, David Icke, Travis Walton, Milton William Cooper, Alfred Webre, Paul Hellyer, Bruce Barrymore Halpenny

Not here.

Can't draw, not a con, cautious (clever,? -  perhaps?).

Lead the dialogue - perhaps.

I'd like to believe that the 103 followers this website has gathered in the last year (when I put the widget up) is partly due to the wording I use in nearly every instance -- almost always a qualified answer - it is simply a part of being a market research analyst and part of writing up data and significances. It also is part of responsible UFO blogging as no one has the answers to the anomalousness that occurs. It's why this week I showed you up to 7 SEVEN things the Jerusalem event might represent. (Based on a previous `orbs' dropping from sky event' in 2009 that was also impressive - especially if some folks - like ME - take ORBS very seriously -- I do NOT make assumptions about Orbs - which is what I saw in the video, I did NOT see alien craft.) I also hope my analysis positioning was a reason why the respected website TA used UDCC's post as it's headline yesterday, Groundhogs Day, (my favorite movie) http://www.anomalist.com/ on the whole Jerusalem UFO event.

LOL. Perhaps that is why the followers are here - they dig the Orb talk too.

Ok, all that said, I do NOT back off, yet at least, the possible significance of this event. Again - IF it is not an elaborate hoax. (I'm reminded that what gave `credibility' to the Georgia Bigfoot hoax a few years back was the fact that the one man was a policeman. Which would be laughable, to some, but not in the MSM. -- In this instance `the number of videos' is what gives it significance. Credibility can be easy to buy is all I can say - so, who is to say at this moment - time will tell and time we have.)

But, I promised you crapology - and you know - UDCC tries to deliver. And, depending on how much you `believe' the `debunking' using technical terms you are unlikely to know - will influence you on how you feel about what you saw in those videos of the last couple of days. So, you ready? http://blogs.howstuffworks.com/2011/01/31/the-jerusalem-ufo-at-dome-of-the-rock-on-january-28-2011/ (or, http://miragemen.wordpress.com/2011/02/03/star-over-jerusalem/) (EDIT-Sat.2/5 - they came out in force yesterday - http://news.discovery.com/space/jerusalem-ufo-almost-certainly-a-hoax.html --- DISCOVERY wanted DOZENS of videos to have proof - OMG. AND NPR declared it a hoax or an illusion - http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/02/04/133493963/a-ufo-over-jerusalem-only-if-you-believe-in-those-sorts-things - talk about unreal.)

In just checking again, I see more of the originals are `vanishing' -- someone sense they have a goldmine for rights? Someone about to announce the end of the hoax? Someone worried that the truth may get out? (See, as an analyst, I present choices as part of any analysis.) Or, just part of the Crapology of UFOlogy.

But, I'm not alone in my analysis as the blog NightShirt by Eric Wargo has posted - http://thenightshirt.com/?p=960 which is appreciated, as I think NightShirt presents very readable far out stuff that is well written too. - Oh, btw, here's how CosmicLog handled the Jerusalem UFO - http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/01/31/5962284-jerusalem-videos-stir-ufo-buzz - the sum-up from them - I think this is going to be one of those shaky-camera sightings that will live on in UFO lore without making much of an impact in the wider world.

I'm not exactly sure how many `shaky' cameras are needed for a proof level. My guess is CosmicLog is hoping no more arise.

(I guess I must have missed being distracted? I mean WTF, all of the videos were quite legible visually to me IMO. So, is `shaky images' the reason for his rejection/questioning? As I said up on top - one can swear that two pictures are identical - even if they are not. And, one can swear the videos are shaky.)

Finally, one reason for the near utter lack of response to what COULD be a significant event, is the LACK of a `voice' of UFOs - other than perhaps MUFON - even 60+ years after the Foofighters (please look in my sidebar for the label Bigelow and Robert Bigelow) - MUFON being a shady bunch of old white men perhaps - don't believe me? read this - http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-contention-at-mufon.html --- indeed, Lon and I were some of the first ones bringing real spotlights to the power within MUFON.

Yeah, Crapola.

A ufo on Super Bowl Weekend? http://theanomalymanlisting.blogspot.com/2011/02/what-if-jerusalem-ufo-event-happened.html

FOURTH Jerusalem Video Surfaces

First, hello and welcome to the UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock (UDCC) - I hope you are ready to be amazed today. The reason is that a FOURTH video of an unexplained event has surfaced. IF you are just catching up on this coverage - on the morning of Jan. 29th at about 1:00 AM in Jerusalem, Israel - and then again about three hours later in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States - what can best be described as a Glowing Orb was videotaped above Jerusalem - that after hovering for a bit of time, descended to near the ground for about 20 seconds, and then, with a burst of light preceding,  shot up into the sky - finishing with about a dozen or so blinks of a reddish or white color (one could imagine a craft if one wanted) and then vanishing in a `pop'. Three hours later a similar but NOT identical event was captured on a cellphone in Salt Lake City - this `video' was covered by at least one local TV channel.

In a nutshell, you are up to date on the basics - however, for the Jerusalem UFO event - videos are continuing to surface and today I bring you a video that when I found it an hour ago had less than 400 views and is now up to 4,300:



This is the fourth video angle above - and from this angle you can see that the the UFO moves when near the ground also. Below, is a video that when I found it this morning had 50 views -


You may also want to check out the comments on this blog too as at least one other reader has come forward to say they have seen similar phenomena. Indeed, in other comments, a man suggested that the FIRST close up video was nothing more than a `video' of the Wikipedia Page of that area of Jerusalem - and while the video did look mighty similar - at least to me and my perception - was NOT identical in a number of ways (that said, one nighttime picture of a town, will look similar to the next as they will have the same streetlights, and lit-up storefronts, etc. Even many homes or apts. that are up on one night are often up the next. Anyway, I viewed the video and the picture side by side and to me - not the same.

And, now, it may be a moot point with the newest closer in video of the event - from a totally different angle than the Wikipedia picture too.

Here's the first video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ-bNOy_CKQ&feature=player_embedded

Here's the first close in video:

Here's the Utah video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZtDM8vt3rg&feature=player_embedded

Here's the first two distant videos co-ordinated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwp_WHFhA4A&feature=player_embedded

And here's the first three videos co-ordinated:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vaqf8imYkc

So, take some time to digest that the Earth may finally have the type of video `proof' of UFO activity, or, at the very least, very nefarious human activity going on in our skies. And, as I said, yesterday in my analysis at Barf Stew http://barfstew.blogspot.com/ -- it would seem unlikely that humans would want to draw this much attention to their special status.

IF the Oct. 13th UFO event in NYC was the tip of the iceberg - we may be starting to see, indeed, especially if this is REAL - the expected `progression' of `contact'. NYC provided an `on-going' UFO that allowed the NYC media to literally be in the street, interviewing folks about `are we alone'? The event, not as close-up, involved lights in the sky and lasted hours.

Whereas, this event - provided `the short term close-up' -- and -- the PROOF of differing `angles' LONG MISSING IN THE WHOLE `I filmed a UFO' saga. This one is NOT balloons. NOT skydivers. And, allowed a close up view.

Thinking of a logical progression from here would be -- LONGER near ground `contact' --- an evolution of the LIGHT near the ground INTO an object --- the continued `confirmation' via `other events' in a similar timeframe (what Utah was this time).

One of my readers supposedly sent a contact e-mail to one of the YouTube posters of these videos - it will be interesting to see if UDCC can get any scuttlebutt from the ground. Finally, if you also would like to provide your UFO experience - especially if similar in any details, please do so.

I will continue my analysis tomorrow or at Barf Stew later.

IF you enjoyed my fiction above about the what IF about UFOs and Super Bowls -- please conside this `fiction' (I'm almost afraid to draw attention to this as the Exopolitics Folks might think it is real) book by a fan of my blogs. His name is Philip Chen and this is his first book. Indeed, below is a review by a top reviewer:
following recommendation from a charter member of the National Book Critics Circle, Alan Caruba:


It is rare when a novelist makes his debut with as powerful a novel as Philip Chen’s Falling Star ($15.25, available from Amazon.com, softcover and on Kindle). It begins in 1967 and concludes in the Oval Office in 1993. In between Chen introduces you to an array of characters, all of whom have unique talents, some of whom are U.S. Navy officers, some with the FBI, all devoted to the protection of their nation. They are a handful of people who know about mysterious entities far beneath the surface of the waters surrounding the U.S. Others are members of a rogue KGB unit, moles who lived among us, but whose mission ended when the former Soviet Union collapsed. This novel stands out for the way you are introduced not just to the characters, but the physical reality in which they live, the sights and even the smells. Slowly and then with increasing intensity, the mysteries are unraveled, the enemies identified, as life and death often hangs in the balance. Drawing on his own life as an ocean research engineer, attorney and banker, Chen brings an authenticity to the novel that provides a heart-pounding reality that forces you to ask “What if?” What if Earth was under observation by those from another planet that is circling a dying sun? What if they intended to colonize it? What if the year for this was 2013? If you read just one novel in 2011, make it Falling Star.

Wish we all got reviews like that:
