But this was 1am on Shabbat. I don't remember the hours of the markets or Wailing Wall, but I kinda doubt they're open at that hour, even in the Arab Quarter. Not all Jews follow religious observances of course, but I think it's important to remember the time and the day this happened.

Also, why do we assume it showed on radar? And there's no reason to expect the Israeli's are going to turn the radar evidence over to anyone even if it did. Also, why would you expect the IDF to allow it's pilots to give eyewitness accounts to the public? It came and went pretty fast (apparently) anyway.

Having said that, like you, I would expect some more witnesses to the flash at least! That was pretty bright. I'm waiting to hear back from my friend in Tel Aviv to see how it played out in the news there.
