The night police were called to Ahihud
In 1996, Tziona Damti walked into the yard of her home at Moshav Ahihud in Israel's Western Galilee and encountered what she described as a small greenish, foetus-like creature. Published accounts described elongated eyes and tiny lines where a nose and mouth would be. After watching it for several moments, she tried to move it with a branch and saw green fluid emerge. She called the police, and then Acre police commander Dani Elkobi arrived with other officers. The footage shows Elkobi illuminating and approaching the creature as it appears to move. According to the published account, he covered it with a plastic bucket, after which it suddenly lifted or burst apart.
The remains and the story that endured
Damti collected pieces left at the scene and stored them in a test tube. Reports said the material passed from police to medical authorities, and a document attributed to the examination stated that it could not be classified as organic, inorganic or synthetic. The incident brought reporters, photographers and UFO enthusiasts to Ahihud. Images from the yard became some of the most memorable footage from Israel's wave of reports in the 1990s. The embedded video returns to the moment when a senior police officer stood in front of the small creature and lets viewers decide what happened in that yard.
