Istanbul UFO is Back **May 2009** Video

I did some video tests with a wristwatch, a black towel and an LED - it looks promising I know that If I create something that looks more or less identical to Yalman's video it doesn't really prove anything. But it's fun to explore ideas, plus it strengthens my critical thinking-skills. If I get some good footage I will post it here

The Istanbul sighting is an important one for many reasons. There are over 12 witnesses, including Dr. Roger Leir. The video has been heavily examined by several well known photographic experts. So far nobody has been able to demonstrate that the recordings are product of tricks or some type of manipulation. I am not endorsing this case, but I simply feel that it is important information the ufo community should examine.

This case developed in the location of Kumburgaz between the years 2007, 2008 and 2009. Its main witness was a night guard named Yalcin Yalman, while on duty who registered on video these strange objects that appeared at sunrise like floating or changing while in flight over the sea coast of Marmara.

Many special effects/imaging experts tried to debunk the footage including: Prof. José Atenas, an expert in graphics and video, with more than 30 years of experience on television. Prof. phD. Zeki EKER Director National Council For The Study Of Science And Technology (TUBITAK) and National Observatory , and Mario Valdes- Santiago Chile. Other analysis were done by video specialists, image edition and special effect companies from Japan, Russia and Turkey, all ending up with the same conclusions that what is being filmed is reality and the video had not been tampered with.

Case Overview:
During the summer of 2007 an extremely close-up video of a "metallic ufo" made the rounds of ufology. Unfortunately it was taken at night the lack of horizon and background. Because so many videos on youtube are hoaxes, me and others were very skeptical. In 2008, many people reported ufos nationwide in Turkey. That is when a night guard was able to capture several minutes of daytime and nightime footage at a facility known as the "Yeni Kent Compound" located near the Sea of Marmara, Istanbul. Between May and August, there was another wave of UFOs. Now daylight footage was taken of the object exposing the horizon and background giving us more detail of the distance. There was also night video taken of a "metallic disc" object hanging in mid air out over the sea several hundred feet up that has been examined over and over by several well known special effects experts In 2009 between May and June, orange oval objects and a metallic ufos were seen by over a dozen people hovering over the Sea of Marmara. Several key people, including Roger Leir, stood by the camera as the footage was taken. Second hand witnesses can verify that what's seen on the video is not staged, model, or a hoax. An important portion of the video starting at (night) 4:59 a.m., until after (sunrise) at 5:32 a.m. Now it becomes clear that we are looking at an object several hundred yards away in the horizon over the sea. This is important because some people, including myself, thought at first it could be a model or prop very close to the camera, but the object is not close to the camera it is pretty far away.

Roger Leir can verify the video. Recently on a radio program Roger Leir added:

"it was two years in a row. I was there both times looking through the viewfinder of the camera. Now the camera was mounted on sticks and it had a 200 mil lense and an electronic dobuler so we were able to push very very close on the craft. Now just as a background the craft was lit by a moon that was very very bright in the sky and so that illuminated the exterior portion of the craft" "it was sent in an proven that it was not a hoax and what was being seen was reality"

At first, the videos were analyzed and made public by the SIRIUS UFO organization, directed by the researcher Haktan Akdogan. Sirius UFO Space Science Research Center firstly, spoke with all the witnesses separately then did the detailed analysis of the full footage of 2 hours 30 mn. long videos with the participation of the members of a science board. They enlarged the video images, did all the detailed analysis, checked their pixels, and went through the all footage frame by frame. After doing all the necessary analysis which went on for several weeks. SIRIUS released the following statement:
--"the objects sighted in the aforementioned footages that have a structure that is made of specific material are definitely not made up by any kind of computer animation nor are they any form of special effects used for simulation in a studio or for a video effect therefore in conclusion it was decided that the sightings were neither a mockup or hoax. And it is concluded that these objects in the sightings that have physical and material structures do not belong in any category such as; planes, helicopters, meteors, Venus, Mars, satellites, fire balls, Chinese lantern, fire balls, wheather ballons, natural or atmospheric phenomenon. etc. and but rather fall into the category of UFO’s. The incident went on several times intermittently before the very eyes of the residents of "Yeni Kent Compound", filmed by a night guard named Yalcin Yalman. The detailed analysis of a certain portion of these extraordinary videos showed that three different objects were captured at the same time."

The government sponsored National Council For The Study Of Science And Technology (TUBITAK) and National Observatory (TUG) got interested in analyzing the original footage, with the intention of determining that the video was nothing more than a hoax, gambling on the idea of scale models or toys, or CGI. The original tape was handed to the TUBITAK representatives on live TV in their own headquarters. Once the analysis concluded, they gave an official report, from which I took the following fragment:
"The objects observed on the images have a structure made of a specific material and definitely itís no any kind of CGI animation or in any means a type of special effects used for simulation in a studio or for video effects. So the conclusion of this report is that the observations are not a model, maquette or a fraud". At the last part of the report, it’s concluded that the objects observed have a physical structure and are made of materials that do not belong to any category (airplanes, helicopters, meteors, Venus, Mars, Satellites, artificial lights, Chinese lanterns, etc.) and that it mostly fits in the category of UFO’s (Unidentified Flying Objects and of unknown origin).

As far as I know Yalman hasn't released anything since 2009, maybe he fell on hard times and had to pawn his wristwatch eh?

I'm very surprised that this hasn't yet made the Hoax bin.

The only part of this sighting that is in question is the fact that there are alleged eye witnesses,
