Hi Ralph

This material was discussed on this List in a number of posts
over several days from about Oct 13 last year. The best subject
keyword would probably be "Kumbergaz".

Most seemed to agree that the videos of the "hovering disc" were
of little or no value, and that various inconsistencies
suggested that they were very probably a hoax. Several claims
made on the website are incoherent and demonstrably misleading.

An inquiry via the EuroUFOnet List revealed that the
organisation responsible is apparently well-known in European
circles as sensational and unreliable.

There is some other material included in the video sequence, of
lights over the Sea of Marmara. These may be genuine phenomena
(possibly, I suggested, an unusual mirage of oil rig burn-off
plumes on the horizon).
