Yet another landmark event in the eleven year long Israeli UFO wave has taken place. In what appears to be a historical first, a mid-air crash between two UFOs has been video-taped.
Last month I reported that I had acquired a video copy of a mid-air UFO explosion over the Israeli city of Rosh Haayin. I wrote that my impression was the video captured a profoundly important moment: the first mid-air UFO collision ever recorded. I requested that experts analyze the film scientifically. Within a day, Dwight Connelly of MUFON committed himself to having the video analyzed. The video is a compilation of two UFO events recorded by Spasso Maximovitch in 1995 and 1996. I sent Dwight both clips and he passed them on to MUFON's video expert Jeff Sanio for computer analysis. The following is his report. I will not comment on his conclusions. Jeff has no need of my analysis of his analysis. Let's just sum matters up like this: It's The Real Thing. Added to Israel's list of UFO firsts, is the first mid-air explosion between two unexplained aerial craft ever captured on videotape or any other media. Several film and TV producers asked me to release the clip for their programs but I had to turn them down. I am prevented by a copyright problem from reproducing the film, though I am permitted to display my copy. I am seeking a conference to premiere this remarkable event. In the meantime, I will publish MUFON's full report on members.tripod.com...
TEXT OF THE MUFON REPORT:
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 23:39:44 -0800

Hi internos, intering post.
here is another one close to a plane.
It is not the same video of course but also interesting to see,
Filmed by Dr. Mark Olson,

so this one, if it turns out to be as good as it reads, seems to tick all of the necessary boxes for being a legitimate piece of evidence.

And if extraterrestials are slugging it out in our skies, to what purpose?

Well, I personally feel that this is nothing to do with ALIEN UFOs. After all...

I therefore feel that this was some kind of an exercise by black ops craft undergoing trials for the SDI project.

Just going by the stills provided on ufologie.net, it seems to me that one of the UFOs is identifiable as a two-engine jet aircraft whose contrail is lit by the set sun. We've seen this many times before. And none of these stills seem to show that the UFOs are on a collision course.
Another thing that confuses me is that if you look at this about.com page regarding this case, you see a picture that looks quite different than the pictures on ufologie.net.
I really want to see this video. It sounds very exciting. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like this will happen.
Although the vertical structure was not a reliable reference
object, the two lights' relative position could be measured.
Over 500 measurements of the two lights' position were made.
The graph at below shows the distance between the 2 lights.
Breaks in the data line are due to unreliable data from camera
motion or the moving light going behind the girders. Reference
straight lines show constant speed. The slopes of the lines show
that the moving light spent about a second at some speed, then
sped up about 16% before the collision. The 16% is not due to
a zoom change; the tower is sufficiently visible to verify that its
size does not appreciably change. Although the graph shows
noise and missing data, the acceleration certainly occurred in
under a second. No reasonable object I know of is capable of
a 16% acceleration in a second.
