"The objects sighted in the aforementioned footage have a structure that is made of specific material that are definitely not made up by any kind of computer animation, balloon, prop, model, or special effects used for simulation in a studio. In conclusion it was decided that the sightings were neither a mock up or hoax."
The Science and Technology Research Board of Turkey
Taken from footage dated June 12, 2008
This case developed in the location of Kumburgaz, Turkey between the years 2007, 2008 , and 2009. The video was taken by a security guard at the Yeni Kent Compound which is located along the beach. One singularity of this case was that the images were made with a camera that had an adaptor for close ups of 200X optical, achieving a great amount of detail of the objects. During this period several minutes of close range video were taken of unusual metallic looking craft floating and changing flight over the Sea of Marmara.
Sirius UFO Space Science Research Center
At first, the videos were analyzed under the direction of noted researcher Haktan Akdogan. SIRIUS UFO and Space Science Research Center firstly spoke with all the witnesses separately and then did the detailed analysis of the videos. With participation of the members of their science board, which is sponsored by the government, they enlarged the video images. They did all the detailed analysis, checked their pixels, and went through frame by frame. At the conclusion SIRIUS released the following statement. Haktan Akdogan: "After doing all the necessary analysis which went on for several weeks, the scientific board came to a definite conclusion with no doubts that these are 100% genuine footages. The objects sighted in the aforementioned footage that have a structure that is made of specific material are definitely not made up by any kind of computer animation nor are they any form of special effects used for simulation in a studio or for a video effect therefore in conclusion it was decided that the sightings were neither a mock up or hoax. And it is concluded that these objects in the sightings that have physical and material structures do not belong in any category such as; planes, helicopters, meteors, Venus, Mars, satellites, fire balls, Chinese lantern, fire balls, weather balloons, natural or atmospheric phenomenon etc. and but rather fall into the category of UFOs."

The National Council for the Study of Science and Technology
On January 31, 2008, a MiniDV format video cassette holding 35 minutes of footage was brought over to "TUBITAK" The Science and Technology Research Board of Turkey (a Scientific Institution owned by the state that is highly reliable and influential) National Observatory (TUG) by Mr.Tolga Ozdeniz, the Editor of "Reporter" that has been aired on ATV Channel. The footage on the cassette was said to have been recorded by a Canon GL1 MiniDV digital camera on a beach of a holiday village in Kumburgaz/Istanbul by an amateur. The images were examined by TUG- National Observatory Image Processing Unit. Because, it would take quite a long time to analyze all of the images, only randomly selected parts were pre-examined. During this process, emphasis was not placed on images produced by optical clarification effects which a number of point light sources generated. Here is a portion of their report:
“The objects observed on the images have a structure made of a specific material and definitely are not any kind of CGI animation or in any means a type of special effects used for simulation in a studio or for video effects. "So the conclusion of this report is that the observations are not a model, maquette, or a fraud”. At the last part of the report, it’s concluded that the objects observed have a physical structure and are made of materials that do not belong to any category (airplanes, helicopters, meteors, Venus, Mars, Satellites, artificial lights, or Chinese lanterns etc.)"
Mario Valdes Graphic Analysis
Statement By Video Expert Mario Valdes "To be honest, at the beginning my idea was to analyze this videos attempting to find some elements in them that would evidence a possible fraud, taking in count the spectacularity in which the case was labeled (announced that for the very first time a UFO was videotaped with its occupants, precisely inside one of this objects, not a minor issue for those of us who are obsessed with these themes). It was like that, from skepticism, and why not say it?, with a quote of prejudgment , I decided to take some time and checkout the fragments of the movie. You could say that the expectations were “to find the string of the puppet”. To make the analysis, I used electronic copies of the original videos, given to me by the Turkish investigator Haktan Akdogan, who picked up this case, first handed. I met with Haktan personally to comment this incident and I very grateful of him handing me a copy of the original tape, with which I could accomplish this work." Mario Valdes SANTIAGO – CHILE

Cappadocia
One of many impressive architectural achievements of unknown engineers of Cappadocia's cities are moving stone doors, resembling mill stones, were devised to quickly block the corridors and could be used only from one side! There have been found only a few relics in tunnels and caves of Cappadocia and these originate from the Hittites who were descendants of Ham, a son of Noah. However, the history of the underground realm of Cappadocia is older than even the Hittites and goes back to the end of the last Ice Age.
The two largest unearthed communities of about 36 subterranean cities in the area are located at Derinkuyu and Kaymakli. Derinkuyu was capable of accommodating 20,000 inhabitants even within a period of many centuries! It covers a 4 square km area and was calculated as able to shelter 2,000 households on 7 floors beneath the surface, reaching a depth of 70 to 85 meters. This subterranean complex contains 36 kilometres of tunnels over seven levels(!) with numerous living quarters, housing stables, wells, cellars, diverse storage rooms, air shafts and waste shafts. According to ancient sources, extraterrestrials visited the ancient land of Cappadocia 5000 years ago
Considering all possessed evidence of extraterrestrial visitations to earth in prehistory, it is obvious that one or more such visitations could have taken place also in the ancient land of Cappadocia. The Cappadocia region is famous for its UFO sightings. What is the connection between UFOs and the underground cities of Cappadocia? UFO flap over Cappadocia took place in the late 1980s. But even earlier between December 15, 1981 and September 1982 many remarkable UFO sightings have been reported both by local witnesses and media. An increased UFO activity during both day and night was a common occurrence and the observed objects certainly did not look like Venus or balloons. Despite a thoroughful investigation the intense UFO activity has never been explained.
What are the secrets of Cappadocian underground cities and their inhabitants? According to an old Persian legend, Yima, a shepherd was told by God to build a 'var' - an underground city or fortress - to protect men and animals from freezing conditions brought about by an evil demon, but who knows.
Turkey UFO History
Turkey's UFO history started 5000 years ago with Flying Gods when it was called GokTurks which means "the people who come from the sky". There are underground cities all over the country. The most important ones are located in Cappadocia. They reach more than 20 stories underground. In today's Turkey, apparently those responsible for piloting these craft are still around. In 2007 a night guard captured the first in a series of close range videos and included supporting witnesses. During 2008 the metallic ufo seen in the video footage was observed by a crowd of witnesses and captured for several minutes on camera by a night watchman Yalman Yalcin. Sightings continued during 2009 and the best quality footage was filmed that including several minutes of the object during the daytime. In 2009 many people were watching the skies, between May and June. Once again there were many sightings and video taken of these objects. I attempted to find out if any oil rigs or large vessels could possibly have been misidentified and the answer is no. It has been determined that there are no in the Sea of Marmara. A 33 minute segment of the video taken between 4:59 a.m.and at 5:32 a.m., shows the object changing in appearance in a short amount of time after sunrise.
The case made big news in Turkey and in other countries as well, but western media ignored the case. It also started a great debate between the official members of the Turkish scientific community. So far nobody has been able to demonstrate that the recordings are product of tricks or some type of manipulation. Therefore, the debate has concentrated more over the nature and origin of the objects filmed by Yalcin Yalman.
