1. So what was it then?
Eyewitness   (04.24.10)
I hope it is turned over to scientists to find out. Could it be something from a test site?
2. It is white phosphorous!
Resistor   (04.24.10)

ivan ,   haifa   (04.24.10)
6. The 'prophets' amongst us will be dissapointed

They thought God is shooting fireballs from his a$$.
7. PISTACHIO SHELL FROM IRAN

Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (04.24.10)

9. Fire and Brimstone for Shabbat Beach Bums
rh ,   Modiin Israel   (04.24.10)
10. IDF White Phosphorous Munition
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (04.24.10)
I agree that it sounds most like this. White Phosphorous will continue to burn in water, which is consistent with what the guards said about putting it in water. The big question is how it was fired there. Does IDF have a practice firing range near?
11. #8
Joe ,   USA   (04.24.10)
Bat Yam means 'Daughter of the Sea'. I hope that helps.
12. A SIGN
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.24.10)
It's not hard to understand what this is. It's God warning those His own with understanding that this is only the beginning of what will fall on Israel from the sky. Because of foolish,faithless Israeli leaders who failed to defeat Hizbollah and Hamas to please their false god America things from Lebanon,Syria,Egypt,Iran will fall on Israeli cities soon.The time for fun at the beach is almost over. Time to seek the Lord and pray and repent. To the wise prepare ,to the fools #6 God will not hear you when you call out to Him because you mocked Him.
13. A kabbalistic shard of paganism?
David the Pagan   (04.25.10)
14. Could be meteor "We put the object in the water 10 times.."
Josh   (04.25.10)
This could still be a meteor. It is not the first time one is reported as hot when it landed. There are a few tyes of metal that when burning produce their own oxidizing chemicals to sustain fire. Not all meteors are gas. The can become molten metal and have been witnessed as burning when they land. A magnisium fire is an example of a metal that continues to burn even submersed in water. Could it be a plane part? Maybe the port authority should see if any planes were flying overhead and they should undergo mechanical inspections. Time and testing will prove what it is.
15. #8 and #11
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland,Aotearoa   (04.25.10)
Actually it means "Mermaid".
16. It was Obama's mideast policy, going down in flames
Zvi   (04.25.10)
17. Could it have originated from some BBQ Grill at the beach?
Ali ,   Washington DC   (04.25.10)
18. Pure sodium (metal)?
oxo ,   USA   (04.25.10)
Pure sodium (the metal) quickly oxidizes in air and is violently reactive with water. If so, how did it fall onto the beach?
19. bat yam means "daughter of the sea"
Sam ,   Portland USA   (04.25.10)
also mermaid
20. Boeing Bomb
Paul ,   Louisville, KY   (04.25.10)
It's a Boeing Bomb. A frozen piece of ejected poop from a high altitude aircraft that must have had trapped methane and ignited :)
21. 6 Realist: It could be fire from heaven like brimstone.
Rivkah   (04.25.10)
Does it contain sulfur? Could it be that war in the heavens among the angels has cast out the devil and he is on earth? The smoke from the Icelandic volcano may be the first of a hundred volcanos to erupt there in a parallel prophecy to a star (angel) being cast to the earth. The CERN LHC particle super collider near Geneva, Switzerland, may have created a black hole that could be the key to the bottomless pit (center of the earth) mentioned in prophecy that sends smoke around the earth and cools it. If a black hole has been created and the other 100 volcanos go off in Iceland the earth would be covered with the smoke. Nostradamus saw Geneva swallowed up by a particle accelerator that he called something else but is likely the CERN LHC particle accelerator super collider which must be shut down.
22. STRANGEST OF ALL IS...
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (04.25.10)
the strangest thing of all is that no other Israeli online has any mention of this. It could be something secretive that misfired from a nearby army base and the army censored it after this article appeared.
23. #12: You changed your 'sign' theory rather quickly
Avner   (04.25.10)
In anther post you (Marcel, Florida) wrote 'meteor is a sign'. Why don't you stick to your orginal claims? Because it was already proven wrong?!
24. Good it landed on the separate beach
Shalom Hartman   (04.25.10)
I assume that as it was on Shabbat, the beach was empty
25. Volcano Eruption in Iceland!
Adam Ben Gan ,   Cincinnati USA   (04.25.10)
This volcano is massive and it is very likely that magma is being erupted so high that it could drift toward Eretz Yisrael. Any thoughts?
26. UFO
Ilana   (04.25.10)
Beach was not empty, and it was on our TV news last night. Literal translation of bat Yam : Bat-("but") = Daughter Yam ("yum") = Sea It is the way we say mermaid, as in Mer=sea maid=female,( usually a young one)!
27. #8 So, every Hebrew name is a translation?
(04.25.10)
while you can't translate SWEDEN because it is a original word by a continually living language.
28. the volcano on Iceland
Line Singer ,   Århus Denmark   (04.25.10)
Eyjafjallajökull is actually not a particularly big volcano - I can not imagine magma erupted so high it'd drift to Israel. But of course I'm not expert...
29. #10 It is a dead parrot from Milwaukee
Michael Hess aka BS ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.25.10)
parroting Arab propaganda of #2 It is time for that parrot to come up with something more original
30. Charcoal
YT ,   Israel   (04.25.10)
Maybe it was a piece of charcoal left over from someone's cookout on Israel's Independence Day!!!
