Return of the Giants
As the Israeli UFO wave progresses along its unexplainable path, the phenomena associated with it have turned weirder and probably eviler. Two incidents among Jews involving the transformation of entities into uglier forms are well known but suppressed. In 1997, a fourteen year old Russian immigrant from Rishon Letzion approached what he thought was a little girl in a park who turned into a grey-like alien. The autumn before, two fashionable Tel Aviv women on an equally fashionable Tel Aviv street saw a tall man turn into a monster that clung to their car window and held on even while the terrified women desperately tried to drive away. The story, I am reliably informed, was buried because one of the women was the television news reporter, Ayala Hassan. Since then, almost all similar publicized incidents have involved Arabs. It is possibly that the reports of demons have nothing to do with the UFO wave. That cannot be said of the gruesome animal mutilations, which almost always were accompanied by UFO activity and evidence.
I997 saw a peak in UFO video films, culminating in the filmed capture of an invasion of low flying black "sponges" over downtown Tel Aviv. April, 1998 saw Israel's first crop formation. The wave is expanding into areas which seem beyond reason...unless reason is not the point of it at all. I recorded the current state of affairs in a series of reports over the Internet.
Arabs Report Encounters With Demons
The Arabs of Israel and its disputed territories have been harassed in recent months by what they believe are demons. The following stories have been reported in the respectable daily newspapers Yediot Ahronot and Maariv.
On October 14, Dr. Harav Ibn Bari, a physician at Hasharon Hospital in Petach Tikveh, was returning from Beersheva by car with his cousin Dudi Muhmad at the wheel. He relates, "After passing the bridge to Tel Aviv at 3:30 AM, I saw a strange figure on the opposite side of the road. We did a U-turn and stopped the car. The figure came out of the shadows and into the light. He was small and his body colour, light. He lifted his right leg and approached us at terrific speed. He had huge, bulging, round black eyes. They contrasted with the white colour around them. It was as if he was reading my thoughts and I couldn't take my eyes off his for six seconds. He lifted his right hand and Muhmad pressed on the gas and took off."
On October 19, Khaj Muhmad Jamal Kavah, 45, a Tel Aviv cab driver who lives in the Arab village of Al-Arian, met his cousin Ataf Kavah at 6 PM at Mei-Ami Junction to drive to a dinner party. "I saw him and signalled that he wait a moment while I relieved myself first. I heard him say, 'Okay.' When I was finished I approached the car and saw that Ataf was wearing a shiny suit. I thought to myself, in his whole life Ataf never wore material like that. I bent down to open the door and saw that Ataf wasn't sitting in the driver's seat. I stared over and over but the driver paid no attention to me. Then I saw the weird creature. He had long hair reaching to his shoulders, his nose was enormous like an eggplant, coloured purplish black. I almost had a heart attack. But I regained my senses and began walking backwards towards the highway. My plan was to make a break for the cars if he followed me. But I couldn't run because I felt something holding me in place for fifteen minutes. Then Ataf opened the door and came out looking totally confused. I shouted at him, 'You're not Ataf. What do you want from me?'"
Ataf recalls sitting in the car and wondering why it was taking Muhmad so long to get in. He got out of the car and asked him what he was waiting for. He remembers Muhmad yelling, "You're not Ataf. Who are you? Where's the shiny suit you were wearing?"
Since the incident, Muhmad took and passed a polygraph test arranged for him by Maariv. His home has become a pilgrimage center as dozens of people a day come to hear his story. Included among them are Muslim religious leaders who have concluded that Muhmad met a demon and irritated him by relieving himself in his territory. They say the demons are rising because so many Arabs are straying from their religion.
The next night, October 20, will never be forgotten by Eli Hawald, 33, of a village near Haifa called Kfar Hawald. The tiny village has no electricity and when Eli Hawald went outside at 11:00 PM, all was too clear for him. "Out of nowhere I saw a gigantic green light, the colour of a traffic light, fall out of the sky. I ran into the house, locked the door and watched from the window. When the craft was about ten metres above the ground, the light was dimmed and three figures were 'shot' to the ground from it. I began to shake. They had human-like bodies but because they were 20 metres from my house, I couldn't distinguish their faces, just their colour, which was completely black. They acted oddly. They would fan out, quickly return to one formation and fan out again. I remember two things distinctly. They reformed after a siren was sounded that resembled puppies crying. And their speed was fantastic, tens of metres in two seconds. At this point, I alerted my wife and children and we escaped through the back door."
Two days later, Jenin was the site of perhaps the most remarkable incident of all. According to Yediot Ahronot reporter Said Badran, a Jenin resident picked up a hitchhiker on the Jenin-Dotan road. A few moments after he sat in the front seat, the driver looked at him and saw his face had become that of a dog with one eye. The driver stopped his car, got out and fainted after he saw the hitchhiker disappear.
Badran concludes, "The incident has become the talk of Jenin. Some of the religious leaders believe that the passenger was a demon who lives in the area. Others believe he is a devil known as The Blind Liar who has returned to presage the arrival of the messiah. The driver is still in shock and is being treated at Jenin Hospital."
The latest encounter was reported by Maariv on the 29th of December. On December 26, Daoud Ahmad, of the Nur-a-Shamat refugee camp, was taken to hospital with severe bruises and there told doctors he was beaten brutally by two small aliens he had surprised in his house.
According to Ahmad, "I awoke at one in the morning feeling thirsty. I tried to get out of my bed but two creatures jumped on me and beat me. They were 60 cm. in height, each had only one eye, hand and foot. They were very strong. They wore black leathery clothes and had a line of hair on their heads. After they beat me, I lost consciousness."
Ahmad's wife took him to hospital and he was awaited upon his return home by a journalist from the Palestinian television station who reported that the bruise marks were made by a being with three fingers. Neighbors confirmed that they heard a ruckus in Ahmad's home but did not see anyone leave.
Palestinian Police Investigate Alien Kidnapping Attempt
On October 19,1997 the Israeli newsmagazine Yerushalayim reported that the Palestinian Police were investigating their first alien kidnapping.
The event occurred three days before when a young girl, Suha A'anam from the village of Dir Al Awasan near Tulkarem, was rescued by fellow villagers from the clutches of an alien. The Police report states that Suha, a grade ten pupil, was standing on her 2nd floor balcony when suddenly an alien began pulling her left hand. She screamed hysterically, alerting neighbours to the scene just in time to save her. She was taken to Tulkarem Hospital with scratches to her arm.
A neighbour told the Police that she heard a noise like a helicopter, looked out her window and saw "a whirlpool in the air, spreading ash everywhere" opposite Suha's balcony.
Two other witnesses saw aliens the same week. Six days before, sixteen year old Muhand Faras was walking home from school when he came upon a strange being of a man's size but with a small "root" in the middle of its face.
It's skin was colored "like a frog's," it had two tiny hands with three fingers on each and long fingernails. The alien made a threatening, clawing gesture at Muhand's face, screamed something and "flew to the sky." He does not know where the creature flew because he "was too frightened to look at it anymore and thought it might shoot something dangerous" at him.
Three days later, an engineer, Raid A'anam saw a black creature in the sky just before sundown. He told police investigators that the outline of the flying object was "human with two arms and two legs."
Palestinian Police have since set up ambushes to trap the "intruders" and put an end to the villagers' terror. Needless to say, many villagers believe the Israeli intelligence agency, the Shabak, is behind the sightings. When asked why the Israelis would stage such an incident, the villagers answered, "To scare us."
Bedouin Says Aliens Made Him Murder His Son
At 3:30 AM, July 27, 1997, Said Karumi, a Bedouin Arab from Ofakim in Israel's Negev Desert walked into the Beersheva Police Station holding his infant son. He told the receiving police officers that, "Aliens are after me." He released one hand from around his son's waist and pointed to the sky.
He then exited the police station and walked to a nearby service station where he bought five shekels worth of fuel in a bottle. He continued on to an empty lot, doused himself and his son with the fuel and ignited both. Said survived the flames but his son did not. When police arrived and asked him why he incinerated his son, he just pointed to the sky.
It was later discovered that Karumi had never been treated for psychological disorders nor was he considered mentally unwell by the Ofakim Social Services office.
One could easily dismiss this incident as a simple case of a nut over- influenced by the media's obsession with aliens. However, the Bedouin are one of the few peoples left in Israel who cling to their traditions and are not under the deep persuasion of Western culture.
Further, Karumi's was not the only case this year of a Beersheva Arab who claimed to have been in contact with what appear to be demonic aliens. Last October 14, a Bedouin, Dr. Bashad, who is a European educated physician and his friend Massoud drove to Beersheva for a night of relaxation. They stopped to pick up what seemed to be a stranded driver by the side of the road. After Massoud asked if he was in trouble, the "stranded driver" slapped his hand to the side of the door and it adhered tightly to it. Massoud Stared at the stranger and screached as he saw "a horribly mutated face." When Dr. Bashad caught a glimpse of the creature, he sped away trying to ditch it. But it leaped twenty feet in the air and readhered itself to the car. It clutched the speeding vehicle for several kilometers before disappearing.
The veracity of the incident is reinforced by the respected witnesses and by the fact that on the same night, another Arab ninety miles away had a similar experience. Abdul Alhazrad has driving near Jenin in the West Bank, when he spotted what he thought was a hitchhiker by the side of the road. He invited the hitchhiker inside and after he drove away, "To my shock, he changed into a man with a dog's head." The creature had long, floppy ears and one eye at the base of his dog-like nose. Alhazrad braked his car and ran away. The being followed him but soon after disappeared.
October 14 was a pretty busy night. Two demonic creatures stood by the sides of two roads, transformed themselves from humans into monsters, terrified three reliable Arab witnesses, gave chase then disappeared into the atmosphere.
As I reported previously, in the Autumn of 1996, a wave of demonic creatures were seen at close distances by numerous Arabs (and two Jewish women in Tel Aviv). An actual UFO landing was witnessed by a family of Arabs in a village outside Haifa was reported during this wave.
Unlike the entire Israeli media, I am not automatically dismissing Karumi's murder of his son as the act of a madman. There have been too many similar "madmen" among Israeli and territorial Arabs in the past year. Karumi's case may fit a pattern noted by Dr. Jacques Vallee in his book Passport to Magonia:
In the Soviet Union, not long ago, a leading plasma physicist died in strange circumstances. He was thrown under a Moscow subway train by a mentally deranged woman. It is noteworthy that she claimed "a voice from space" had given her orders to kill that particular man – orders she could not resist. Soviet criminologists, I have been reliably informed, are worried by the increase of such cases in recent years...
The current wave of mental imbalance that can be specifically tied to the rise and development of the contactee myth is an aspect of the UFO problem that must be considered with special care.
I make no claims to understanding why there has been a wave of demon-like entities witnessed amongst Israeli Arabs in the past year. But I can verify that the wave has been characterized by the high quality of the testimony associated with it.
If one can generalize, Israeli Jewish close encounters since 1993 have mostly been with giant entities and UFO activity has always accompanied the incidents, while Arabs of the region are mostly encountering grotesque monsters, with less direct-UFO activity involved. Both the giants and the monsters are capable of disappearing into thin air.
Mutilation in Israel
On the morning of May I, Amos and Miriam Glam of Sde Uziah, a farming community near Ashdod, found a scene of carnage in their sheep pen. Four sheep had been shaved in their cheeks and a precise 2 inch hole was drilled from one cheekbone to the other. Though killed by the operation, the sheep did not bleed.
This same cheekbone operation was performed on four sheep belong to the Gueta family of Moshav Porat, near Kadima in January 1995.
UFO activity accompanied both cases. In nearby Kadima, a UFO was sighted a few days before the Gueta sheep mutilations and a large landing circle was filmed and examined for the television program Sightings.
Two nights before the Glam incident, a UFO hovered above the family home and beamed a projected light on Mrs. Glam for some ten seconds. Neither she nor her husband could see the craft which beamed the light. The next night, while presumably the sheep were being mutilated, the couple heard sounds "like mice scurrying" from their yard.
Stunning Israeli Evidence Emerges
One might think 1997 was a poor year of UFO activity in Israel judging by the paucity of media reports. In fact, the media clamped down hard in January '97 after they were burned on the Achiod alien/lizard story and the false prediction of mass landings on Jan.5. However, due to the superb research of David Ronen, Doron Rotem and two young newcomers, Gil Bar and Eddie Shpitz, it turns out that 1997 was a vintage year for Israeli ufology.
Some of the most dramatic physical evidence of the country's intense ten years of activity emerged last year. Following is a summary of 1997.
Films
Over three nights in September 1996, Elad Niger filmed a remarkable UFO over the coastal plains city of Kochav Yair from his vantage point in the nearby city of Kfar Saba. He released the films to David Ronen in March of 1997. They reveal the prettiest UFO ever filmed in Israel. It looks like a colorful apple wearing a three pronged crown.
1997 saw three UFOs filmed in Rishon Letzion, 20 miles south of Tel Aviv and a center of UFO activity since 1993 when giant aliens visited the apartment of Batya Shimon. Of the three clips, none is so memorable as Gil Bar's November filming of an ellipsoid disk captured in 4 PM sunlight being chased by an Israeli Air Force F-15. The UFO's high speed manoevres to escape the jet are most acrobatic. This is the first known instance of a military plane chasing a UFO captured on film in Israel.
Then on November 26, Nahum Shomroni video-taped an afternoon invasion of low flying UFOs over Tel Aviv. The light conditions were perfect and the craft were flying at only an estimated 700 meters altitude. The result is a breathtaking view of three sponge-shaped, dark UFOs of a type possibly never seen before.
Physical Evidence
1997 saw two disturbing animal mutilation incidents associated with UFO sightings. They continued a pattern that began in the Negev village of Klachim in Dec. '96. Sylvia and Yitzhak Kadosh witnessed "an image as big as a house sparkling like a welding torch" land near their donkey compound. The light vanished before their eyes and they hoped it would be the last time their farm suffered such an intrusion. But their hope was not realized. Two nights later, 2 donkeys were mutilated. The older one had its eyes and tongue removed and its rib cage was exposed by a surgical removal of skin and tissue. The younger animal only had the latter operation performed on it.
In July '97, the Glam family of Sde Uziah, thirty miles west of Klachim, had a UFO experience which culminated in Mrs. Glam being chased by a projector light from an unknown source. Again, two nights later, their sheep pen was invaded and five sheep were drained bloodless from precise holes drilled in their cheeks.
Doron Rotem researched both incidents and to this day, keeps an example from Sde Uziah frozen in his freezer. He admits his wife is not happy about this mutilated carcass sharing space with the family groceries.
The final incident made national news, the only UFO story to do so all year. On Nov. 2, a silver ellipsoid disk hovered over the Gaza Strip settlement of Paat Hasadeh. On Nov. 8, Yaacov Mazal-Terem awoke to discover a row of twelve pairs of holes, 5 cm. deep along the fence which enclosed his horse. The horse itself, had two 1 cm. holes surgically drilled into its front hooves. The row of holes was photographed by the national media and their origin remains a mystery. Speculation is they were alien tracks or pods from a craft.
And finally, the famed hotspot of Kadima returned gloriously to Israel's UFO history. From 1993-95, approximately 20 landing spots were discovered after nights of UFO activity in the skies. Within were shards of material later tested worldwide and found to be a nearly pure silicon. This year, the same shards were found twelve miles to the west on the beaches of Gaash and Shfayim after UFO activity was reported.
On October 10, a UFO was seen over the Kadima suburb of Tel Yitzhak. Idan Levy discovered its landing circle and found within, not shiny silicon but an unknown material that looks like grey branched coral.
Israeli Crop Circle Update
The Israeli crop circle, the country's first ever alien pictograph is turning into a most important event with international significance. Following is the story as it stands now.
On the evening of April 12, 1998 a resident of the Jezreel Valley Arab village of Zarzir heard dogs bark wildly, looked outside and saw small lights darting in a nearby wheat field. The next day he told his friend Golan Masrin (30) about the incident and he went to the field, thus discovering the crop circle.
Compared to those of Southern England, the circle is a simple design. It is a half circle of 26 meters diameter with a 26 meter straight line disecting it from within, creating two quarter circles of wheat. The effect is a picture similar to an umbrella.
Within the circle were seven round pods in the mud. All vegetation within was killed and the ground was severely dessicated compared to the surrounding soil. In four of the pods, the soil was coated in a white powder, while in the other three pods there was a red oily fluid. Where the fluid fell on wheat stalks, the plants turned brown compared to healthy plants in the field. Yet even in the field just beyond the circle, some wheat stalks were missing their heads and they could not be located beside the plants.
Young ufologist Gil Bar painstakingly collected the powder and oil from the earth and stored them in vials. I took chemist, Dr. Marvin Antleman to see Bar's samples and his first reaction to the oil was that it had the unique crimson color of cobalt. He is attempting to arrange laboratory testing.
American Labs Confirm Israeli Encounters
Last April's crop circle in the Jezreel Valley has remained the country's top UFO story through the summer. It is now accepted that the formation was, in fact, a landing site. This conclusion has been reached by the shape and symmetry of the formation. Within the site were seven indentations filled with a white powder and red oil. These are now believed to have been landing pods of the craft.
When I reported the incident, I wrote that I had samples of the oil and powder collected by Israel's most enthusiastic young ufologist, Gil Bar and promised to supply samples to any lab willing to test them. The response to the appeal was quite wonderful and Dr. W.C. Levengood, Dr. Nancy Talbott and Whitley Streiber all arranged lab testing. When the results are in, within three months, I will announce them.
Until then, I have other results of laboratory testing which are of great interest. In return for sending him the most recent physical evidence of an Israeli UFO landing, Dr. Levengood supplied the results of his tests of materials I collected and sent to him in 1995 for testing on behalf of the TV show Sightings. The tests, conducted by Dr. Levengood at the Pinelandia Biophysical Lab and by John A. Burke at the Am-Tech Laboratory are most enticing and are being publicly released for the first time.
The Kadima Circle
UFO landings in the central Israeli town of Kadima began in 1993 and were characterised by an abundance of silvery shards within, tested in Israel and found to be a highly pure silicon; and by grass swirled clockwise and imbued with a red oil tested locally and found to be mostly iron but with a high level of liquid cadmium.
Drs. Levengood and Burke subjected the grass, metallic shards and oil to thorough laboratory testing and, quoting directly from their reports, discovered the following:
Grass Formation. The grass was from 15-20 cm in height and the stems ranged from 1.5 to 2mm diameter. Control frass was received from an area outside the formation.
- Microscopic examination revealed that the nodes apeared to be expanded and in some cases collapsed inward even though the stems were still hydrated. This suggests a rather prolonged localized heating at the node positions.
- One of those sub-apical nodes contained an expulsion cavity typical of those found only within crop formations in other countries.
- Miscroscopic examination of the parenchyma tissue within these expanded nodes disclosed the presence of elongated cell wall pits with "stretch marks" – again confirming the presence of energetic alterations similar to those observed within many crop formations.
- The presence of twisted "nests" within the formation indicates the presence of a high degree of turbulence within the energy vortex.
Silicon Crystals. Several fragments of what appeared to be silicon were found at the center of the circle formation.
- The energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) curve confirms the fact that these crystals are pure silicon.
- It is interesting to note that there are no "growth lines" as would normally be expected if these crystals were thermochemically grown as a pure single crystal. Silicon does not normally occur in this pure form.
- It is highly unusual to find this type of material out in a field or pasture, since it is very expensive to produce.
Red Material On Grass-Coating of a red granular material on the stems and leaves of plants, termed "red hay" by collectors.
- Non-magnetic and does not appear to be pure iron oxide.
- In some regions there is a smooth surface, as if the material had dried from a volatile base such as paint.
- The EDS shows a high iron peak with the presence of several elements.
Among the elements identified are cadmium, potassium, and aluminum. Drs. Levengood and Burke admit, in the case of the oil, that "the elements in the EDS do not really confirm the origin of this material."
However, the results of the shard and grass testing are most gratifying for Israeli ufology. The shards had previously been tested by the National Geological Institute Laboratory in Israel and the University of Manchester's Materials Science Laboratory in England and found to be at least 99.35% pure silicon. Levengood and Burke confirm previous testing results but add an important fact. Because a prankster was loose in Kadima, many in the Israeli ufological community feared he planted the silicon in the circles. Levengood and Burke prove that the type of silicon found would be far too expensive to be spread about by a hoakster.
They next tested sand and soil gathered from the Shikmona Beach site, near the northern coastal city of Haifa. In 1987, a UFO flashed a red light beam and an image of the craft and its pilot was burnt into the sands below.
Levengood and Burke confirmed that a most mysterious incident had taken place:
Samples of a red clay collected from Shikmona Beach on Sept.28, 1987. One sample collected from a dark ovoid form in the soil and a control taken some distance away.
- The control appeared to consist of normal soil particles from a red clay type soil (fine particle structure).
- The formation sample consisted of very dark red or almost black granular particles which appeared to be well mixed with the clay soil. An odor similar to kersene was detected in the bag.
- When attempting to take photomicrographs of the two soil samples for comparative purposes the microscope light was positioned for reflective illumination. During this set-up process the soil matrix of the formation sample was observed to literally "melt down," that is it became bubbly, and when the heat source (miscroscope light) was turned off the "soil-liquid" hardened into a black mass of rounded particles.
- Thermal studies indicated that the soil "melting" temperature was in the range of 50 C (around 120 degrees F). This indicates the presence of a very low melting point hydrocarbon.
- In consultation with a Geophysicist we were told that he was not aware of any material with these properties existing in the natural environment.
- This very unusual, low melting point material repeatedly re-solidifies into the black globular form, therefore it was not in the liquid form when samples were originally taken.
If one wishes to know how the Shikmona Beach UFOs (there was a similar incident eight months later) "burnt" their images onto the sands of Shikmona Beach, Levengood and Burke provide the answer. The craft "painted" the sand with an unidentified low melting black hydrocarbon.
The laboratory analyses only confirm what has been obvious to most Israeli ufologists; their incidents are amongst the most unusual and believable anywhere. The Shikmona Beach and Kadima incidents both passed muster after strict laboratory testing and must be counted as amongst the best proved UFO encounters of the past two decades.
Exciting Preliminary Lab Results Of Israeli UFO Material
8-22-98
Materials found in an Israeli UFO crop formation and landing site are currently undergoing laboratory testing in the US. While final results have not yet been released, preliminary findings have been announced and they are very exciting.
In September 1997, a father and his son discovered a landing site in Tel Yitzhak, a suburb of Kadima. Dispersed within previous Kadima circles, over twenty since 1973, were shards of a metallic material and a crimson colored oil. The shards were tested in three laboratories and found to be composed of highly pure (at least 99.35%) silicon. The red oil was twice tested in laboratories which agreed it was iron based though other elements were identified including an unusually high level of cadmium.
In April of this year, a crop formation 26 meters in diameter was discovered in the Jezreel Valley. Within were seven indentations, possibly landing pods, filled with a white powder and crimson oil. A young ufologist Gil Bar collected the materials and I sent an Internet appeal for laboratory testing of them. I was rewarded well when Whitley Streiber agreed to arrange testing at a Texas lab he was associated with, while the team of Dr. W.C. Levengood and Nancy Talbott took on the responsibility of testing in their own facilities. Ms. Talbott released the preliminary results this month (August 1998) and they have great international significance.
Tel Yitzhak – The Tel Yitzhak material looks like a lichen but is composed of material which stretches like a rubber band. I have shown the material at four UFO conferences in the past year and each time participants and audience guessed by its appearance that it had to be organic.
Their guesses were wrong. According to the Levengood/Talbott results, the "lichen" is composed of the same highly pure silicon found in previous Kadima circles. A new material, silicon which stretches like rubber, may have been discovered.
Bet Zarzir – The crop formation material found at Bet Zarzir in the Jezreel Valley is no less significant. While Ms. Talbott did not report on the white powder, grasses within the circle were highly magnetized.
But it is the red oil which is looking like the scientific prize. Its internal structure is made up of large (2 micron) donut-shaped compounds.
Ms. Talbott reported that the same donut-shaped internal structure was found in materials connected to two previous alien abduction cases. Dr. Levengood is now conducting advanced tests on the red oil, the results of which are eagerly anticipated in Israel and should be, everywhere.
