Silvery oval disk hovering for 2 minutes over the cliffs of the dead sea in Israel
I observed 1 oval type craft on the edge of the dead sea hovering over the nearby hills of Ein Gedi, Israel. I was riding a bus with Israeli tourists when I noticed the object just sitting in the air.
I took a double take and looked around at people on the bus to see if they noticed it.
The sun was shining on the object and it was reflecting. I thought to myself it was a helicopter at first but it kept sitting still and didn't have any movable parts like a helicopter blade. The object had no wings and just seemed to be hovering.
I watched the object for 2 minutes and then the bus drove by a cliff that blocked my view. I was baffled. Unfortunately my camera was in my bag underneath the bus.
The object seemed to be a silver color.
The object seemed to be observing the dead sea area. I'm baffled even to this day.
