I first heard of this story on another podcast and the host immediately injected alien into the story, so I wrote a blog on his web site titled Conflating UFOs with Aliens (re: Jerusalem) - - - the blog follows below
Why do some people immediately conflate "alien" with the term "UFO?" Does it take too much effort to compartmentalize within your mind the two terms? U = Unidentified, F = Flying, O = Object. If you stick an alien in that UFO then it is you who has the mental conflation issue. Dennis Kucinich was asked about his reported UFO sighting during a presidential debate in 2007. He completed his answer without any acknowledgment of "aliens."
The question came to mind when the issue of the Dome of the Rock UFO was video recorded by several sources at different vantage points over Jerusalem. Three of these videos have been synched together by the DISCLOSUR3 channel to create the following>>> you tube video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vw5vB7Ppfw&feature=player_embedded)
It is definitely Unidentified, it is Flying, and it is an Object, but no where is there a suggestion that it is occupied or controlled by aliens.
