Narrative
Time: Midday, 1998 Location: On approach to Tel Nof, Israel Gorelik (ex squadron commander) places the incident at roughly 300–400m: a silver muffin/mushroom shape with yellow lights and no exhaust. He says the lead navigator saw a strong yellow light under the wing but didn’t report it. No released radar return, camera, or AF file is cited here—so this is detailed testimony, not sensor confirmation. Curious whether anyone has seen Israeli AF debrief material on it. submitted by /u/Ddusco
