Local enthusiasts of unidentified aerial phenomena held a night watch on the coastal ridge beside the Iris Reserve in southern Netanya.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ynet reporter Assaf Kamer joined participants who describe unusual lights over the sea and practise CE5 meditation. During the outing, the group noticed a bright moving point, but after examining it, an experienced participant concluded that it was most likely the forward light of an ordinary aircraft.<\/p>\n

Earlier sightings described by the participants remain personal accounts. Ynet explicitly noted that there is no clear scientific evidence that CE5 meditation can initiate contact with extraterrestrial beings.<\/p>\n

The report also carried a safety warning: the viewing point lies on a high, wild coastal cliff. Approaching the edge after dark is dangerous, and any unusual sight should be recorded only from a safe distance.<\/p>\n
