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 in modern Israel.

The case for the return of giants to Israel is strong. 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. 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. Crew from Sightings at Kidima Circle. Ami Achrai's incident was followed by a repeat performance on June 6, when a similarly shaped craft was once again burned into the sands of Shikmona Beach, about yards north of the first site.

This was followed by the most spectacular display of all. 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 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. The ray which Elijah's God sent from heaven was similar to the that which burned the sand into a saucer shape, but not for the reason Chamish is suggesting.

While the power source of Chamish's two rays are distinct, the similarity results from the masterful counterfeiting by rebel angels masquerading as aliens in UFOs. 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. 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. 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 but they returned in force in 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? 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. 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. 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. 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? I could crush you like an ant if I wanted to.

Go back to your husband. Needless to say, a 4. 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.
