I have had contact with Dr. Leir over the past 4 years because of my interest in the Kumburgaz Case. It is my conclusion that Dr. Leir was in Turkey as he described during the sightings and witnessed the objects seen on video himself. Not to mention there is photographic proof that Leir was there.

He also was interviewed in a documentary from Turkey at the time.
I had talked to him 3 or 4 times about this on the phone and I would find it very hard to believe that he would make up this up and risk his entire reputation in the field over it. Him being a witnesses is important because the objects captured on video over Kumburgaz show detail not seen before or since.
Also to add: Haktan Akdogan who researched this case the most in Turkey is going to be speaking at this years Ozark UFO conference in April.
Dr. Leir stated the following things about what occurred.
1. They used binoculars and surveyed the area of the sea and did not find any oil rigs, docks, or lighthouses in the area that would cause a misidentification.
2. There was an extremely bright moon that night which assisted in the clear visibility of these objects on camera.
3. He and a crowd of 7 to 8 other (mostly Turkish speaking) people were standing behind the camera , some watching on a television monitor streaming the live video and nobody saw what could have been a model, balloon, or prop of any type.
4. The animals (especially dogs) were making a lot of noise only at the time that these objects were in the air over the sea.
Rest in Peace. Dr. Leir I will continue to tell your story and share the video that was taken.
Here is a newly discovered video which took place on May 14, 2009 at the time of the conference in which Leir was attending. An object is seen buzzing the conference.
