            CHAPTER FIVE- Israel Awakens To The Invasion

During the spring of 1980,I was a soldier in the anti-aircraft brigade of
the Israeli Air Force.My duty was to operate two types of anti-aircraft missile. 
My unit was on training manuevres in the bleak Sinai Desert and 
private Adam Reuter was on skywatch.
While staring into the western skies with his binoculars,he called me
over,saying,"I think I'm looking at a UFO."

He handed me the glasses and I saw a large,well lit, silvery object.
Circling, it were red  objects that occasionally flew into the silver one,
seemingly melding with it.

One by one members of the unit were called to observe the sight until most
had stopped digging their foxholes. 
Our officers intervened and everyone went back to
their mundane military exercise.
Everyone but Adam and I,who were severely reprimanded for
slagging work. Nonetheless,we could not take our eyes off the sky.

Over the next three months, strange lights passed over
 our base.We had been trained to identify jets 
and helicopters of all kinds and how not to confuse them with satellites. 
What we were seeing was nothing like anything taught in our skywatching classes.
These were highflying,soundless dots in the upper 
atmosphere that flew in squadrons,
stopped in the middle of their flight,
joined together then split off in different directions and turned at
impossible angles.
They were best described as manually controlled
satellites. Since such a fleet of vehicles did not exist,
we had no explanation for what we were seeing.

As the summer wore on,Adam and I were the sole advocates of 
the UFO theory and I especially was subjected to mockery. 
The most common theory among the unit was that a new 
weapons system was being tested but over time,
 that explanation did not suit even the most hardened critics.

One morning at assembly, the unit asked our officers to request an
explanation from the Air Force.
 A few days after the request was submitted,a colonel from the Meteorological
Division addressed us. His message was simple," We don't know what you are
seeing but we request that you do not tell outsiders 
since that only spreads rumors."
