This issue of the ICFUFOR Journal presents a collection of witness reports detailing various unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) and related incidents that occurred in Israel during November and December 2002.

Kiriyat-Hayim Incident (3 November 2002)

Joella reported that her son woke up with a scratching feeling and found elongated scratches on his lower belly, beneath the hip line. These scratches, measuring 10x5 centimeters, were made by a sharp object. The son had no memory of how this happened, having slept deeply. Some scratches were still visible at the end of December, and a photo taken four days after the event showed dots, resembling stab marks, within the scratched area. Joella consulted Miri Est, an alien contactee, who claimed the marks were made by aliens who had recently arrived. Miri Est further alleged that the aliens injected the son with radioactive material to alter his DNA, stating this was done because the son 'has a role'. A few days after the initial incident, more signs appeared in the shape of two parallel stripes with an additional stripe above them. These signs disappeared after a few days.

Jerusalem Incident (6 November 2002)

On the morning of November 7, 2002, a report was broadcast on "Galei-Tzahal" radio, the Israeli national radio station. The report claimed that numerous Jerusalem citizens had observed a strange flying object high in the sky the previous day, from which something was dropped. The incident reportedly alerted the police. The news was heard by Mr. Ishai Naor and Mr. Eliyahoo Roisemann from Beer-Sheba.

In the way to Modi'in Incident (6 November 2002)

Hanoch Nebo reported that at 21:00 on November 6, while driving from Tel-Aviv to Modi'in, he observed four orange stable lights in the sky, located from north to east, almost above the sky sector of Kfar-Saba. At 21:40, from his home in Modi'in, he noticed the four lights again, and then a fifth light appeared. By 21:45, only one light was visible. The lights appeared in the sky and moved downwards. Nebo also reported seeing something resembling a meteor or a falling star in the area. At 21:50, three more lights appeared sequentially. One of these lights seemed to move rapidly downwards, then stopped and floated, with its illumination increasing. Subsequently, four lights were observed in the sky.

Netaniya Incident (6 November 2002)

Neri Pinkwasser observed a greenish light in the sky from her home window, facing east, at 21:00 on November 6. Ten minutes later, while driving south with her mother, she continued to see the light and was struck by its spinning motion in the sky. Upon returning home, she videotaped the object. The resulting film, lasting almost two minutes, initially shows the lights of the surrounding houses, followed by a few seconds of a light moving from left to right between two houses. Later, the camera focused on two moving lights, moving leftwards above rooftops and sun-heated boilers. The higher light had a yellowish hue, while the lower light was bluish. The movement of these lights was evident when compared to the sun-heated boilers and a star in the sky. No sound of an airplane was heard.

Ben-Gurion Intl. Airport / Yokne'am Incidents (12 November 2002)

Hanoch Nebo reported at 20:15 on November 12, while en route to Jerusalem, he saw two yellow lights, one higher than the other. Earlier, he had observed more lights in the sky, during which time airplanes were also present in the area. Later, from his home, he saw an orange object flying towards the sea in the Modi'in area. At 20:30, from Yokne'am, Abi Greiff observed two orange orbs floating slowly southward at a low altitude until they were obscured by a house and disappeared. No wind was present, and the observation lasted approximately three minutes.

Kir'on Incident (17 November 2002)

Albert Kristal reported that at 22:30 on November 17, he observed a red-lighted object in the sky towards Savion (central Israel). The object's shape was described as similar to an airplane with its wings spread backward. It flew relatively slowly, made two spins in the same sector of the sky, and then turned southwest and disappeared. Its flight was stable, and no sounds were heard. It was characterized as a large flying object without blinking lights, unlike an airplane. No changes in its illumination were noted. The object reportedly hid a planet (possibly Mars) when it passed in front of it.

Nesher (near Haiffa) Incident (20 November 2002)

At 21:45 on November 20, Abi Greiff noticed a star-like object between the stars of the "Great Bear". The object was shining and blinking in an irregular form. Upon observing it with binoculars, it appeared to have a red nucleus and a blue halo. In the following days, the object was no longer visible.

Nahshon-Hulda-Latrun Junction Incident (27 December 2002)

Moshe was driving his car at 22:30 on December 27. The weather was rainy, but visibility was reasonable. From a considerable distance and at a very high altitude, he noticed four stable yellow lights. After five seconds, three more lights appeared, forming a triangular formation. Moshe's girlfriend, a soldier in a combat unit who was in the car and also witnessed the event, dismissed the possibility of the lights being lighting bombs due to their size and high altitude.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The journal consistently documents sightings of unexplained aerial phenomena, focusing on detailed witness accounts of lights, objects, and unusual physical manifestations. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation and reporting of these phenomena, presenting the information without overt skepticism, and including interpretations from individuals identifying as contactees. The recurring themes include the presence of unusual lights and objects in the Israeli airspace, the potential involvement of non-human intelligence, and the physical effects these encounters may have on individuals.
