Case description

The east-of-Rishon-Letzion entry corresponds to the Yatzitz account of January 3, 1995, described by journalist Barry Chamish. At approximately 8:30 p.m., security chief Herzl Casatini and his friend Danny Ezra reportedly heard an explosion or impact that shook the house. Casatini opened the door and claimed to find a very tall figure outside. Different passages place the encounter at one man's house or the other's, so the exact doorway remains uncertain. Casatini described the figure as about nine feet or three metres tall, wearing gray, foil-like metallic clothing. A luminous haze obscured its face. He reportedly shut the door; Ezra looked through curtains and fainted. Chamish said police responded and summoned military trackers, who followed unusually deep shoe-like marks for roughly eight kilometres. Depth measurements and an inferred weight of about a ton appear in his narrative, but the recovered source does not provide the underlying calibrated tests or original official report. Chamish visited several days later and connected the story with the wider Israeli giant reports. No craft was described during the doorway encounter. A film made by two boys belongs to the following night and cannot demonstrate a simultaneous vehicle–figure connection. The plate therefore shows the two men and the mist-obscured figure, labels the track claims as unverified, and avoids adding a spacecraft.
