Video taken from Jerusalem this weekend showing a dancing, glowing ball hovering over the famous Dome of the Rock has some crying UFO. And so far, the images have no official explanation.
The video shows the ball drop down from the sky, sitting atop the religious site for about 25 seconds, and then quickly shoot up to the heavens like a rocket. The event was captured by at least two separate cameras stationed at different places in the city:

Apparently folks are questioning the close up version, which came along after the distance shot. Shrugs. The distance one is still pretty interesting though, even on it’s own.
Thanks for the other links.
May God bless.

Yeah, and I could see such a thing being staged quite easily.
But on reading your link to the Hoaxkiller video, I think that guy is right. The close-up video is probably a fake.
I’m not as impressed with his flash of light argument—it could have been blocked or angled or something—but what camera would give that monitor-y pixelation on a zoom?
I wouldn't shrug it off just yet.
Nice to see you Tatt.
It's here that he didn't sacrifice Isaac ~ or Ishmael ~ or anybody for that matter.
It's been viewed as Abraham's Altar for several thousands of years.
Friend of mine who visited the Dome of the Rock says that inside there is a large stone with a hoofprint on it. Supposedly, according to Moslems, Mohammad visited Jerusalem (in reality or a dream) and his horse mounted up to Heaven at this site.
I'm surprised there were so many people around ready to film this event ~ they must have anticipated it or maybe video cameras are simply so widely used these days somebody has one on somewhere watching something 24/7.
When the Hebrew forces took Jerusalem they eventually built a large Temple at this site. They later rebuilt the Temple site under Herod. Other bits have construction have occurred there from time to time as things needed upgraded, replaced or improved.
If you were some sort of outerspace being and wanted to check out an ancient landmark on Earth, this is definitely one of those spots!
I had to chuckle when i read the comments: One guy says this is God/Allah showing what his favored religion is (Islam.)
My first thought it that its the “God” of the ancients coming back and saying, “Hey, where did my temple go?”
I love this stuff. I wonder who’s little spaceship this is?
The pattern of light as the object hovers reminds me for all the world of the star trek cube spinning, not a true ball. I forget which episode.
If human in origin, this could be a fake supernatural signal to the jihadis. I’ve been inside the Dome of the Rock. Happened back in the ‘70’s. At the time I thought I might stay & live in Israel. After visiting the Wailing Wall, I met a young Arab boy who told me he could get me into the Dome for 5 American dollars. So I waited, and then I got in. The guide was giving a speech about how the dome’s builders received a “sign” during construction that pointed to Mecca as the true center of divine activity. I also saw the actual rock in the center of the dome. Massive yellow thing, with a rough, irregular hole running vertically through it’s center. The guide told us the hole was there because it is where Abraham ascended into Heaven, after having a meeting with other alleged holy men, including, I think, Mohammed, under the Rock.
Therefore, if someone were an extremely cynical purveyor of fake miracles as a way justify an all-out jihad against the West, how better to launch an Islamic WWIII than by staging a visit from a transcendent Abraham? If this theory is correct, I would further expect supernatural stories to emerge of spoken communication with Abraham green-lighting a new effort at world conquest. The transcripts of such communications should last about 25 seconds.
Or, maybe it’s just a prop from star trek that wandered off its course. Who knows. But if it is a “real fake,” four 3D-reconcilable videos is impressive. I will reserve judgment till those of a higher pay grade have spoken.
Oh no, laughs. I am one of those wait and see folks ; P I don’t dismiss it, but I darn sure don’t buy allll the way in without doing a lot o’ reading and listening.
You can be sure I will be checking back on this for a while :)
Take care FRiend.
The guy who built the Shrine over the site probably heard pretty much what you heard, and my friend heard, and what others have said has been written ~ which is "THIS IS REALLY OLD" ~ and so it is.
What are you suggesting? You think it’s a hoax and know how it was done?
Maybe not UFO, could be a sign from God. Who knows.
Good to see you :) So how are you? And how is the weather up your way : / I know what a wimp I am weather wise - but I have to share some hope with/for you all - I stepped outside today, and for the first time in too long, it felt like spring really is considering showing up ; P
God is good :)

If this was staged, like you, I believe it may have been done for the benefit of those brothers still somewhat skeptical of the Maddi's return if not just a simple hoax by some jokers.
If this wasn't staged then one might conclude that the Dome of the Rock might soon become a part of the foundation of some large object of yet unknown origin. ;)
Either something man made or God is testing out his new laser sight.
That is good. :) We've got about 2 days of freezing rain predicted for the deep south and that means power outages so I gotta go make some final preps.
Take care as well.

Lol!! I especially like the “Hey!” part. Your post reassures me that I just may not be the only one who sometimes laughs out loud when reading the Bible, kinda sheepish look. Sometimes as I read Christ’s words when He is TRYING to communicate ideas to the Disciples, and it is clear, that they are reallly having trouble grasping the concepts.... Which is interestingly enough, STILL something we struggle with, (present company DEFINITELY included :).
Thanks for the smile, and
may He continue to bless us with His patience.

Obviously a contrail from a commercial jet.
Inter-planetary visitors...or just hitting the hashish a little too hard after Mrs. Mo-ham-head decided not to put out?
Some on ATS are claiming it’s a hoaxed thing.
I haven’t examined it closely enough to know.
Interesting, if real.
