Representative cases

20112011 Jerusalem Dome of the Rock UFO videosThe Jerusalem videos document a viral claim, not a verified aerial event. Contemporary reports agree that clips circulating in early February 2011 appeared to show a bright light descending, hovering and then rising rapidly above the Dome of the Rock. They do not establish who recorded every angle, whether the camera operators were independent, or where the original files and metadata were kept. Early reporting by NPR and The Jerusalem Post treated fabrication as the leading explanation, while Live Science described visual and editing anomalies. Multiple uploaded angles therefore strengthen the history of the online story, but do not supply independent corroboration without authenticated originals.
