As for the people yelling hoax before they've done any research...these findings and analysis are not entirely factual or complete...There is admittedly agreeably 'fake' video out there that most people can agree on. (complete with a hick sounding woman's voice ('We see these things all the time in Missisippi"), then there are three other videos out there which are arguably disproven, but not entirely when you get down to the specifics. There is a witness that is being persued, and additional witnesses in Jerusalem are coming forward, but not getting any press. Very strange
For your edification
The fake one that's gotten the most coverage (looks to be projected on a screen and doesn't 'flash' when it takes off)

Here's the one that look real (Consolidated 3 videos)

I have spent some considerable time reviewing these, and the details on the people who are dismissing and saying "hoax" - and the one thing I can conclude is that it's obvious that media has done a piss poor handling of this story. In any event, I'll go on record (here anyway hahaha), saying I have seen some strange activity in the skies Arizona on my way home from work a few years ago. My friend who was also stuck on the same freeway due to traffic saw the same thing. I actually asked a person when I drove by who was changing her tire "Hey you see those lights in the sky" to which they responded "Oh yea, that's the Phoenix lights, we see them all the time. 'They' know about them, but no one does anything about it..." For what I saw specifically very much like what is shown in these videos:

Call me batshit, but I truly believe there's something out there and something being kept from our eyes, for reasons not yet known...maybe in this lifetime?? Seems to be an increase in this type of stuff lately. Wether the Jerusalem videos are legit, is subject to argument, but after seeing the way the coverage of this was handled, I'm even more skeptic of the purported skeptics purpose and intent. anyway...
