Grief thinks that the connection to animals may be part of the reason the beings chose to visit Batya. Once they found the fish,they became very excited and immediately after,left. That might have been their mission. Don't forget about Hanna's flying dog,Mara's neighbor's dog or the fact that Tsiporet raises Great Danes. And then there is the rabbit David Kornitz found that was bled white without any signs of wounds or incisions.
Animals play too much of a role in the visitations to be ignored.
By June,1993,reports of visitations ceased,however UFO sightings were a constant feature of the summer in Israel. I ran to a clearing in his orchard and saw the small red object,no bigger than a large star,high in the sky moving,then stopping,then moving again to the north. What Joel had seen was a red ball, not half a mile distant and no more than a few hundreds meters above the ground that made a loud humming noise,streak across the sky,stop cold,then seemingly disappear. Joel is a skeptic but my British wife doesn't believe in anything that isn't reported by the BBC and confirmed by the Queen. The next morning I told her Joel had seen a UFO.She asked if it was glowing red,stopped in the sky and disappeared.
