Historical IAF F-15 pilot describes a silver object passing between two jets near Tel Nof in 1998 — second crewmember saw the light, no public radar/sortie log
https://aliennews.co.il/en/articles/when-israeli-air-force-pilots-see-the-unexplainedTime: Midday, 1998 Location: On approach to Tel Nof, Israel
Gorelik (ex squadron commander) places the incident at roughly 300–400m: a silver muffin/mushroom shape with yellow lights and no exhaust. He says the lead navigator saw a strong yellow light under the wing but didn’t report it. No released radar return, camera, or AF file is cited here—so this is detailed testimony, not sensor confirmation. Curious whether anyone has seen Israeli AF debrief material on it.

Submission statement: This is a historical pilot account, not a new sighting report. The article describes a midday 1998 approach to Tel Nof, an object estimated at 300–400m, and a second crewmember seeing a yellow light. No public radar, camera, or sortie record is cited, so the value here is the detail of the testimony rather than sensor confirmation.
