According to scripture, the prophet Ezekiel witnessed fiery
wheels in the sky.
He considered them divine.
Now you're about to see a video that
could show another celestial object over Israel that also
might not be of this Earth.
TONY HARRIS (VOICEOVER): 2011, a resident of Jerusalem
is out for a stroll when a bright light over the Old City
catches his eye.
He begins to film, and this is what his camera captures.
A bright ball of light hangs over the Old City.
Strange on its own, but then it drops down to just
above the buildings, hovers, and amazingly
zooms straight up, literally in the blink of an eye.
Watch this last part again.
The ball of light seems to be just above roof level.
There's a bright flash that stuns the onlookers.
Whoa.
[bleep]
TONY HARRIS (VOICEOVER): And it rockets up and out
of frame in less than a second.
This isn't just happening anywhere.
The orb, or whatever it is, is sited over one of Earth's
holiest places, the Dome of the Rock, also
known as the Temple Mount.
The Dome of the Rock is one of the most important sites
in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam,
where Muhammad ascended into heaven.
It's also the site where Abraham was about to sacrifice
his son Isaac to God.
TONY HARRIS (VOICEOVER): It is also
where Solomon was said to have built the first temple,
and centuries after it was destroyed,
where Jesus cast out the moneylenders
of the second temple.
Could we be witnessing a modern day miracle?
MJ BANIAS (VOICEOVER): We have lots of stories where
people, when they are having a religious moment,
see lights in the sky.
Because we're at a holy site, maybe something holy
is happening.
TONY HARRIS (VOICEOVER): This idea of a UFO Holy Land
connection was revived in 2020, when an Israeli space
expert sent eyes looking towards the heavens
with a startling claim.
MJ BANIAS: Haim Eshed, who was Israel's Space Security chief,
went on record claiming that Earth was being
visited by extraterrestrials.
You literally had the highest-ranking official
of Israel's space program coming out
publicly stating that there was a galactic federation
of alien races.
TONY HARRIS (VOICEOVER): Eshed, who
was promoting a book at the time,
has never revealed his sources.
But he's not the only believer in this federation.
It is said that the federation consists
of hundreds of thousands of members
and was founded millions of years ago.
Well, I believe this statement by the Israeli Space Secretary
is the truth.
This whole idea of the galactic federation
can be traced back to the Eisenhower administration
in 1950.
There were numerous reports that he had contact
with an extraterrestrial.
Haim Eshed says that, as part of the pact,
we're allowing aliens to conduct experiments on Earth,
and we built a joint underground base on Mars.
So is this object a UFO, a known craft,
or a bit of video hocus pocus?
TONY HARRIS (VOICEOVER): First, could this be Israel's Iron
Dome missile system?
It has been used to detect and shoot down over 2,000 rockets.
The problem with that is, it shoots up.
It doesn't come down like this does.
Number two, the object ends up hovering.
The defense system doesn't do that.
As far as whether that could be a drone,
there's a lag time when you add full power.
We didn't see that.
It just went, boop, straight up in the air.
So that takes drone out of the equation.
TONY HARRIS (VOICEOVER): That seems to narrow
it down to one option--
a UFO.
If the video is real, we run it by Michael
Primeau's expert eye.
So I began the analysis with media interrogation.
Noted that there was insufficient
digital information to verify it as a camera original.
The metadata was scarce.
Whoa.
TONY HARRIS (VOICEOVER): That likely
means the video was run through at least one software program,
stripping away much of the metadata.
Upon further analysis, we applied
macroblock visualization.
This essentially means that the software took that information
out, and those gradient values aren't actually recorded
in the original recording.
So in conclusion, this recording should
not be considered authentic.
Whoa.
It looks like someone had some fun making this video,
so we're going to call it a hoax.
But this in no way disproves the galactic federation claim.
According to Haim Eshed, the aliens
will make themselves known to the wider world
once humankind is ready for the truth.
