You might have heard, read or seen in Youtube the famous UFO appearance over the Dome of the Rock Mosque on Jan. 28, 2011. If not, see http://www.aolnews.com/2011/02/07/jerusalem-ufo-another-video-surfaces-to-spark-debate/
Well, the Dome is directly outside my window less than 300 metres away, and I sleep with my windowshades up; so if such a bright light had indeed appeared, it would have waken me up. But mind you, that doesn't explain several other events that I have seen with my own eyes in the skies over Jerusalem in the early mornings! Some of the other guys living here have seen them also and they say it's shooting stars. Anyway the attention given over this "UFO" is a (timely?) distraction over the fears and tension arising from the neighbouring political unrest. I won't bother over such hovering lights ... unless there's a bomb attached to it.
