UFO. Iran

19 September 1976 around 0 hours 30 minutes local time, the Tehran command post of the air force of Iran received four telephone reports from residents of the city district Shemiran of unusual activity in the night sky. Some of the callers talked about the bird-like object, the other on a brightly lit helicopter.

According to the BBC no helicopters in the air at that moment was not. The commander of the air force district General Asefi at first thought that the observed luminescence is most likely the star light, but after meeting with dispatch International airport to Mehrabad and the personal observations of a very bright object, the size of the superior stars visible from Earth, he took the decision to launch military air force base in Hamadan Shahrokhi interceptor F-4 Phantom II.

1 hour and 30 minutes F-4, driven by captain Mohammad Reza Azizkhan took off and proceeded to the point of 64 kilometers North of Tehran. The object was visible for 112 miles. When approaching the aircraft to the object is at first passed out all the equipment and I lost contact, forcing the pilot to return to base. When returning the systems recovered.

1 hour and 40 minutes in the air up to the second F-4, under the control of Lieutenant Parviz Jafari. He found an object on the radar of his plane at a distance of 43 kilometers. On the radar the object was similar to a Boeing 747. The brightness of the object is not allowed to determine its size. The light coming from a UFO alternated blue, green, red and orange. Lights blink alternately, but so quickly that it seemed burning at the same time. At the approach of the fighter at a distance of about 40 kilometers to the object, he began to move, keeping a constant distance from F-4 (speed 150 mph or 241,4 km/h).

In the process of moving, objects separated over the small object and went to F-4 at high speed. Lieutenant Jafari thinking his attack, tried to launch a missile AIM-9 sidewinder, but a sudden shut down of all equipment, including weapons systems, and communications. Attempts to restart were unsuccessful. The object flew beneath him and in a short time moved to 4 or 5 kilometers, then returned to the first object.

When returning the F-4 at database systems are recovered, as in the first case.

Then from the first item separated another one that went to the surface of the Earth at great speed. The object landed near the Rey Oil Refinery on the border of Iran. The landing was soft.

A civilian passenger aircraft approaching the Mehrabad, also lost contact while flying over the same location.

The next day, the landing site of the object examined, but in the light of the day without finding any traces. In the Western side from the landing site, the military found "beeping" signal, which led them to a small house. They interviewed the residents of the house about the unusual events of the previous night, but they answered that they had heard a loud noise and saw a bright light, like lightning.

Further studies of the landing site was not published.
