Sightings, encoun- ters and reports happen when they happen and, in some cases, that can be years apart, Even less in abundance are sightings accompanied by quality film evi- dence and even rarer than hen's teeth are those sightings caught on camera whose source is undeniable. I think back to all the wonderful NASA events captured out of the blue by enthusiasts such as Martyn Stubbs or Jeff Challender. Well, the images above are con- firmed stil frames from a military training exercise, recorded over Israel. We know the footage is authentic as it was acquired by the BBC to be inelud- ed in a news report. That report can be viewed online in its entirety at the BBC News website or via YouTube. Links to the clip will be published at the end of this item, The case was brought to my attention by a sharp- eyed researcher, Ben Lydiatt, from Oxfordshire, and then the frame analysis was done by our own Steve Johnson. When Brett rang me, I viewed the footage whilst he was still on the phone. He pointed me to the two ‘sequences that appear to show an unusual object flying close to the high-speed jet fighters. ‘The camera that was used to record the clips was mounted inside the cockpit of one of the jets. I was wary not to get too excited by what the film showed, simply because the ‘camera was filming behind the carved, glass canopy of the plane and immediately thought of reflections or distortions of the images when filmed this way. However, on watching the sequence 3 ne host film c carefully, other objects shot through this canopy show little distortion and are easily recognisable as other air- craft. So what are we looking at? Initially, UFO DATA’s Steve Johnson posted a link to the clip on a different area of our forum and at that point, he too suspected distortions through the canopy, but on further examina- tion of the film, frame-by-frame dis- section revealed an aircraft clearly passing in front of this cigar-shaped object. One thing that was mentioned in the news report was that at the end of the actual mission, the flight would jettison spent fuel pods from their aireraft. Remember, the film is a training mission, so it would be extremely wasteful dumping fuel pods in the desert, not to mention dangerous to release them in the flight path of other members of your squadron. Whatever we are seeing in the film makes for interesting viewing, but please see the clips for yourself at the following addresses: www.ufodata.co.uk/forum www.bbe.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_7 000000/newsid_7005800/7005856 .stm?bw=bb&mp=rmé&nol_sto- ryid=7005856&news=1 Let us know what you think...
