以色列核基地UFO事件！英文原文报道。

据以色列媒体报道，当地时间12月16日下午，位于以色列南部内盖夫沙漠的迪莫纳核基地上空突然惊现一个UFO（不明飞行物），它无人操作且疑似装有引擎。由于核基地上空属于禁飞区，该UFO上可能携带侦察设备或爆炸物，以色列空军立即出动F-16战斗机加以拦截，在劝阻无效的情况下，发射一枚导弹将其从空中击落。然而让人啼笑皆非的是，以军方16日晚宣布，被击落的UFO有可能只是一个“热气球”！

Israeli Officials Still Uncertain: What was Shot Down Over Nuclear Power Plant in the Negev Desert?
A rather eye-catching piece of news was reported Thursday with regard to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the downing of what appears to be an actual UFO, an unidentified flying object. It remains a UFO due to the fact that the flying object has yet to be identified.
At present, according to media sources like CNN, the IDF has been unable thus far to find debris of whatever it was they shot down.
According to the IDF, the Israeli Air Force shot the unidentified flying object from the sky above the Dimona nuclear power plant in the Negev Desert. The air force was scrambled as soon as the object appeared in the no-fly zone that exists around the Dimona plant.
The IDF said that the air force reacted according to procedure.
The IDF has speculated that the UFO "could have been a party balloon."
According to CNN, there were also unconfirmed reports that the object was motor-driven.
It is reporting on incidents such as this in just this manner that prompts the conspiracy theorists and UFO enthusiasts and researchers toward imaginative speculation and accusation, then crying "cover-up" when further information is withheld or not forthcoming (regardless of the reason).
And there appears to be no need, except perhaps to add a little more excitement to the story, because sources much closer to the event provided a much less ambiguous picture of what occurred and what the object actually was.
Israel National News (INN) noted that the object entered Israeli airspace from Jordan, from the southern Dead Sea.
Although INN says that the object was "thought to be a balloon," they also report that the Israeli Air Force said "the balloon was unmanned and that this was verified before it was shot down."
A balloon. Unmanned. Identified by the IDF. It seems straightforward.
Not "could have been." No alluding to other reports that the UFO was "motor-driven."
The CNN piece is not straightforward, leaving room for all sorts of speculation as to what manner of aircraft the UFO might have been. The fact that the Israel Defense Forces have been unable to find debris only adds to the mystery of the object.
That the unidentified flying object entered a no-fly zone, not to mention the IDF shooting the object down, adds a sinister aspect to the story.
Of course, the INN article may have been written with an intent to mislead, as some will no doubt claim. Keeping its content more toward a definitive explanation leaves less room for imaginative conjecture. However, it will not eliminate it.
The Israel National News article was posted at 4:34 p.m., which equates to 9:34 a.m. in the Eastern United States.
CNN posted their article at 12:35 p.m., three hours after the story identifying the flying object had been published by INN. But CNN's article does not mention that the object had been "verified" as a balloon by the IDF.
Same story, both told with an ambiguous title teaser. One leaving a lot of room for speculation. One providing an answer, which is saddled with the a question of believability (because when has a government been above obfuscation, misdirection, and outright lying in what they deem national interest?).
In the end, it comes down to: Something was shot down over a Negev Desert nuclear power plant Thursday.
It seems to have been a balloon, the debris of which has not as yet been located.
What it was not was "unidentified." So, unless one is a distrustful conspiracy theorist or UFO researcher skeptical of any government explanation, Thursday's incident seems to be nothing more than an interesting aside on a slow news day.

核基地惊现神秘UFO

据报道，当地时间16日下午，位于以色列南部内格夫沙漠的迪莫纳核基地上空突然惊现一个神秘UFO（不明飞行物）。该核基地位于死海附近约30公里，不明飞行物系从邻国约旦由南向北方向飞入以色列境内的。当埋伏在基地四周的雷达捕捉到“入侵者”的讯号后，立即发出空中警报。以色列空军随即出动数架F-16战斗机加以拦截。

由于该核基地上空属于禁飞区，UFO上可能携带侦察设备或爆炸物，在多次警告劝阻无效的情况下，随着以色列空军指挥官伊多·纳胡什坦少校一声令下，从一架F-16战斗机发射的“空对空”导弹将“入侵者”从空中击落。

可疑飞行物或是“热气球”

据了解，被击落的不明飞行物系无人驾驶，且疑似装有一个引擎。目前还无法确认该物体出处和用途。迄今为止，以军方仍未找到该飞行物的任何残骸。16日当晚，以军方发言人称，不排除该可疑物体是探测气象所用的“热气球”。同时，也有分析认为，该物体可能是某情报机构用于搜集以色列核计划情报的工具。据悉，以色列的核研究与开发始于上世纪50年代。1957年，以色列首次从南非进口铀矿石用于核能研究，随后，在法国、美国和南非的帮助下，以色列在位于内盖夫沙漠的迪莫纳建立了核反应堆。现在，迪莫纳核基地被称为“内盖夫核研究中心”。

“自家人”误入也不手软

据报道，迪莫纳核基地位于内盖夫沙漠偏远的一角，附近有一个名叫迪莫纳的小村子。1958年，1500名以色列和法国工人在14平方英里的范围内修建了一座反应炉和庞大的地下工程。法国军用飞机从挪威秘密运来反应炉的重要组成部分重水。一开始，以色列对外佯称这只是一家纺织厂，后来又说它是一座冶金研究设施。两年后，美国情报部门确定，这是一座核反应堆，中情局认为它是以色列核武器计划的一部分。

为了防止外敌入侵迪莫纳核基地，以军历来戒备森严，即使对于误入禁区的“自家人”也绝不心慈手软。1967年第三次中东战争期间，一架受伤的以色列战斗机由于误入迪莫纳核基地上空的禁飞区，被以国防军的导弹击落，飞行员当场身亡。去年10月，一架超轻型飞机误入迪莫纳核基地的禁飞区，结果遭到以色列空军战斗机的拦截，被迫降落在核基地附近的一条跑道上。

基地反应堆存在两大隐患

几十年来，迪莫纳核基地一直笼罩着神秘的面纱。1960年12月，以色列总理古里安向以色列议会证实，以色列正在建设一座核反应炉，但他声称，反应炉只用于和平目的。这是以色列历任总理第一次也是最后一次提到“迪莫纳”这个地名。然而最近一段时间，以色列军方突然改变态度，开始公开向居住在迪莫纳核基地附近的居民发放防辐射药片，并在互联网上首次开设了该基地的官方网站。这些举动令基地附近的居民深感不安。

除了反应堆老化的危险，迪莫纳核基地还存在两大安全隐患。一是来自伊朗的导弹威胁。由于以色列多次扬言要摧毁伊朗的核设施，伊朗也不甘示弱称，如果以色列胆敢袭击伊朗核设施，伊朗将摧毁以方的迪莫纳核基地。二是地震的威胁。去年年末伊朗发生大地震后就有人指出，以色列的海法地区随时有可能发生大地震，届时将造成基础设施的大面积毁坏，迪莫纳核基地当然也难逃厄运。

核力量全球第五却很含糊

值得一提的是，拥有大量“核动作”的以色列迄今既没有加入核不扩散条约的队伍，也没有将任何核设施交与国际原子能安全机构审查，并且拒绝接受联合国核不扩散国际会议决议。

在核问题上，以色列政府一直奉行“含糊政策”，既不承认也不否认拥有核武器，也不同意国际机构对其核设施进行监察。其实，据美国中央情报局估计，以军目前已拥有200- 400枚核弹头，是中东地区唯一一个能够从陆地、水下和空中对敌国发动核打击的国家，核力量位居世界第五或第六，相当于英国的水平，只低于俄罗斯、美国、中国和法国
