INTRODUCTION:
RETURN OF THE GIANTS?
Are the Anakim or the Refaim, the giants of the Bible returning
to Israel
today? There are only two periods of recorded history when giants
were
reported in Israel; In biblical days from the time of the Flood
to the ascension
of King David and since 1993 in modern Israel.
The case for the return of giants to Israel is airtight. The
giants thoughtfully
chose reliable contactees as witnesses, allowed their craft to
be filmed and
left in their wake ample physical evidence.
In fact, what characterizes the current Israeli UFO wave from
others in the
world, is the shere abundance of physical evidence left behind
by the visitors.
Consider the first incident to usher Israel into the UFO age.
On the evening of Sept. 28, 1987, a 27 year old auto mechanic,
Ami Achrai
was driving just south of Haifa when he saw what he thought might
be a
helicopter in distress hovering just above the sands of Shikmona
Beach on
the Mediterranean Sea. He stopped his car and to his utter amazement
saw a
disc-shaped craft which emitted a bright red flash before disappearing.
Two days later he returned to the site with a ufologist the
police referred him
to, Hadassah Arbel. What they discovered remains one of the most
lasting
proofs ever left by a UFO of its physical existence. The flash
emitted by the
craft burned its image into the sands of Shikmona Beach. A fifteen
metere
ellipsoid disk was burnt black into the sand but what was more
interesting
was what wasn't burned. In the vegetation which wasn't burned
was a clear
image of the pilot of the craft facing a control board.
Seven years later I sent samples of the burnt sand to the
television show
Sightings which subjected it to laboratory tests. The sand seemed
to melt in
the heat of the camera light. The reason later discovered was
the sand
particles were covered by a low melting hydrocarbon material.
The laboratory
could find no natural or human explanation for the phenomenon.
Ami Achrai's incident was followed by a repeat performance
on June 6, 1988
when a similarly shaped craft was once again burned into the
sands of
Shikmona Beach, about 100 yards north of the first site. This
was followed by
the most spectacular display of all. On April 27, 1989, two teenagers
witnessed a UFO explode into thousands of shards over Shikmona
Beach.
By now, Israeli ufologists were prepared to handle the latest
incident more
scientifically. The beach was strewn with burning white metal
which was cool
to the touch. The metal even glowed in water. When picked up,
the shards
turned into a white ash. Scientists from the Technion Institute
of Technology
tested the site and found that magnetism was 6000 times higher
than the
surrounding area. The shards were found top be very pure magnesium.
Two hundred yards above Shikmona Beach is a biblical shrine
called Elijah's
cave. Here Elijah preached and here or somewhere nearby in the
Carmel
Mountains, Elijah challenged the Canaanites to a duel of Gods.
Two bulls
were tethered and the gods were beseeched to roast them. Naturally,
baal
failed the Canaanites but Elijah's God sent a ray of light from
heaven which
cooked the bull on the spot. This ray must have been similar
to the kind of
beam which burned the sands of Shikmona Beach into a saucer shape.
Within the Cave of Elijah is an ancient drawing of something
that was the
spitting image of the craft burned into the sands below. The
Sightings team
decided the image "was a coincidence. Maybe it was a bat."
When Michael
Hesemann filmed the drawing he left certain it was a match for
the burned
sand pictures.
Although the cave drawing's meaning is in dispute, the fact
of the modern
UFO- burned inscriptions is not. Something unique occurred at
Shikmona
Beach. Alien craft decided to leave souvenirs there at least
three times. By
doing so, they revealed the dimensions of their craft and apparently
pilot, as
well as their construction material. These were not crop circles
nor were they
formed the same way. A very different message was left on Shikmona
Beach's sands.
After the UFO explosion, there was a hiatus of UFO activity
until 1993 broken
only once in late 1991 over the village of Sde Moshe, some five
miles from
Kadima. There, after two straight nights of having the inside
of his house lit
up by an unexplained craft hovering above it, Eli Cohen captured
the
responsible UFO on videotape. Several minutes of the tape were
filmed after
daybreak making the result a most clear and convincing record
of a UFO.
It seems the visitors were merely scouting the Kadima area
in 1991 but they
returned in force in 1993. And this time, the occupants of the
crafts did more
than merely hover in the sky.
In the early morning of April 20, Tsiporet Carmel's house
glowed from within.
She stepped outside and saw what she thought was a new fruit
silo built
outside her back yard. But then she saw the silo add a second
storey to itself.
Ten yards to the side of this magical silo, Tsiporet saw a seven
foot tall being
wearing metallic overalls. Its head was covered in a what looked
like a
beekeeper's hat. Tsiporet said, "Why don't you take off
your hat so I can see
your face?" The being answered her telepathically, "That's
the way it is."
This was Israel's first publicized close encounter with an
alien being. Tsiporet
could easily have been made an object of ridicule but for the
fact that a crop
circle 4.5 metres in diameter was found exactly where she had
seen the craft.
Within the circle were shards of a material later found to be
a very pure
silicon. I add, Israel's ufologists are divided over the veracity
of the silicon
because there was a prankster loose in Kadima.
However, within ten days, two more circles were found just
outside Tsiporet's
back yard. This time, they were soaked with a red liquid and
this fluid would
be a constant feature of upcoming landing circles. It was tested
by the
National Biological Laboratory in Ness Tziona and found to be
composed
mostly of cadmium.
This was the end of Tsiporet's incidents. Now the visitors
concentrated on
two other woman in their late thirties living on Hapalmach Street.
The first
was a Russian immigrant Mara. Strange forces shook her house
so hard they
caused the outside airconditioning unit to fall out of its casing
into the house.
Voices called to Mara in her childhood nickname. Eventually she
decided the
house was haunted and she moved far from Kadima.
Shosh Yahud is the treasurer of the town of Kadima. She is
down to earth
and wants as little to do with her UFO experience as possible.
In May, she
awoke to see a seven foot, round faced being in silvery overalls
circling her
bed as if "floating on his shoes." The creature assured
her he was not there
to harm her and she became relaxed. After a few minutes the being
floated
through her wall outside.
Shosh thought she had dreamed the incident until she looked
out her
wondow in the morning and saw a 4.5 meter crop circle in her
backyard. The
ufologists descended on her home and discovered the silicon and
cadmium
within the circle.
Next, in June, it was Hannah Somech's turn to be visited by
a giant. Hannah
lives in Burgata, three miles from Kadima. She was startled to
see her dog
go flying across the kitchen into a wall. She stepped outside
to investigate
and her way was stopped by an invisible force. She then saw a
seven foot,
round-faced being in metallic overalls examining her pickup truck.
She said to
it, "What did you do to my dog?" It answered telepathically,
"Go away. I'm
busy. I could crush you like an ant if I wanted to. Go back to
your husband."
Needless to say, a 4.5 meter circle crushed out of the grass
was later found
in Hannah's back yard. Within, the grass was soaked with red
liquid
cadmium.
By the end of the summer, the credible reports of giants roaming
the land
persuaded the normally staid television station Channel One,
to broadcast a
one hour program on the subject. Tsiporet and Shosh appeared
as well as
the ufologists who had examined the circles of Kadima. To the
apparent
shock of the host, the viewing audience believed the advocates
of alien
landings. The result was two more witnesses coming out into the
open.
Both were women in their late thirties who lived within ten
miles of each other
south of Tel Aviv. Clara Kahonov of Holon was most reluctant
to be quoted
but acknowledged that she had seen a giant being.
Batya Shimon of Rishon Letzion saw far more than one. In early
July, two
seven foot tall, bald creatures beamed themselves into her seventh
floor
apartment. They told her telepathically not to be frightened
and she
immediately relaxed. She then felt they had "friendly faces."
They roamed her
home, "floating on their shoes" dusting her shelves
with a yellow, foul-
smelling powder. One being saw her son's aquarium, became very
excited
and called his colleague over. After a few minutes, they beamed
themselves
outside. The next night at 3 AM, a dozen giants visited Batya
arriving and
leaving the same way.
I have had extensive conversations with the contactees and
there is much in
common with their stories. That is fit subject for a separate
lecture. In short,
all were the same age, all were white collar workers, three have
been
haunted since their encounters telepathically, all their men
slept through the
encounters, two had mysterious pregnancies etc. But the core
commonality is
that these women did not know each other and separately described
the
same seven foot tall, bald, round-faced giants.
And if absolute proof that giants were about in Israel was
needed, it came in
December in the village of Yatzitz, twelve miles east of Rishon
Letzion. The
giants had opened a new axis after Kadima, a triangle of twenty
miles linking
Rishon Letzion, Holon and Yatzitz.
Herzl Casatini, the village security chief and his friend
Danny Ezra were
sharing conversation when they heard an explosion and felt Ezra's
house
shake. Herzl opened the door and stood face to face with a nine
foot tall
creature in metallic clothes whose face was hidden in "a
haze." He shut the
door and called the police. They arrived and discovered deep
boot tracks in
the hard mud. The tracks sunk 35 centimeters into the ground
meaning
whoever made them had to have weighed, literally, a ton. Thinking
there
might have been a terrorist incursion, the army was called in.
Military trackers were totally stumped. The tracks carried
on for 8 kilometers.
The heel dug in only 5 cm. meaning whatever made the tracks was
walking
almost on tip-toes. If you can call it walking. Sometimes the
distance between
tracks was twelve feet, meaning the intruder was a world record
holding
broad jumper weighing about a ton.
The Yatzitz incident confirmed, even to the deepest skeptics,
that giants were
indeed sighted and they left proof that was nearly impossible
to dispute. The
best the Israeli authorities could come up with to explain the
tracks was they
were left by an unknown cult. It would have to be very unknown
for records of
cults whose ceremonies include dressing as giants and leaving
miles of
unidentifiable tracks are undoubtedly quite rare.
After Yatitz, giant sightings were reported in Ramat Hasharon,
Rehovot and
Afula. And 1996 became a vintage year for UFO evidence gathering
with a
good dozen craft filmed. Two incidents stand out. In August,
a UFO was
filmed over three nights with professional equipment at Kibbutz
Hatzor. The
results include a closeup of what appear to be rows of square-shaped
vents
on the craft. In December, a Netanya household reported constant
contact
with small greys, the first such report from Israel. The witnesses
backed up
their claims with an abundance of physical evidence, including
stones that
melt ice immediately without a known energy source.
The Israeli UFO experience is unique and very complicated.
I have touched
on just one aspect of it; but it is vital to understanding the
Israeli puzzle. Of
the seven best documented close encounters with alien beings
provably
connected to UFOs, six involved giants. These giants were determined
to
leave evidence of their arrival in the form of cadmium-imbued
landing circles,
miles of impossible boot tracks and deliberate communication
with witnesses.
Indeed, the abundant evidence more than indicates that there
are giants
roaming Israel today.
As there were 5,000 years ago and they also left proof of
their existence. The
giants were descended from the nefilim, literally the fallen
ones. In ancient
time, entities fell on Israel from the heavens and later became
the mortal
enemies of the Hebrew nations.
One giant king was Og of Bashan. The bible records that his
bed was thirteen
feet long. Bashan's territory included the Golan Heights. Sitting
on the Golan
Heights is the Israeli version of Stonehenge. Called Gilgal Refaim,
the Circle
of the Refaim or giants in English, this site consists of five
concentric rings
whose beauty can only be appreciated from above. Unfortunately,
there was
supposedly no way for the simple nomads of 5000 years ago to
see the
circles from above.
The cite is enormous. The outside circle has a diameter of
159 meters and
over 37,000 tons of rock went into the construction of the complex.
Two
openings in the circles may have been used to measure the solar
solstice
and the rising of Sirius in 3000 BCE.
The fact remains that Israeli archaeologists are totally mystified
by the Gilgal
Refaim. No other complex built in the Middle East resembles it
and it
predates the pyramids by over 500 years. The indigenous nomads
of the time
did not engage in this kind of megalith building, so outsiders
were probably
the builders. According to the Bible, the only outsiders living
on the Golan
Heights back then were giants.
Maybe it's a longshot, but no one has come up with a better
explanation for
Israel's current UFO wave. I believe the ancient giants may be
coming home.
I conclude on a somber note. The biblical giants were God's enemy
and
Israel's armies were the means to their utter destruction. There
is a legitimate
reason to contemplate the recent re-arrival of giants in Israel
with a good
measure of dread.
