Iran

In the morning of 19 September 1976, the air force of Iran received a few calls about the very bright lights in the sky.

General Yousefi took a look and agreed that the object in the sky definitely brighter than any star and moves erratically. He ordered two F-4 to intercept the object. The first jet fighter tried to get closer to the object, but when approached, the fighter was reported to have lost all means of communication. The pilot was forced to abort its mission.

Similarly, the second fighter tried to get closer to the suspicious aircraft. It should be noted that the radar target resembled a Boeing 707. The smaller vessel suddenly started with a suspicious airplane and threateningly moved to a jet fighter at high speed.

When the pilot attempted to launch a missile to attack the ship, he was reported to have lost contact with all appliances. He was forced to abort the mission.

Both pilots reported the return of control over their devices after the departure of the aircraft.

Original news

At half past midnight on September 19th, 1976, the Iranian Air Force received several calls about extremely bright lights in the sky. General Yousefi had a look for himself and agreed that the object in the sky was certainly brighter than any star and moving erratically. He scrambled two F-4 Phantom Jet Fighters to intercept the object. The first jet fighter attempted to approach the aircraft. But upon approach, the fighter reportedly lost all communication instrumentation. The pilot was forced to abort his mission. Similarly, the second fighter tried to approach the suspicious aircraft. It should be noted that on radar the target resembled a Boeing 707. A smaller craft suddenly launched from the suspicious aircraft and threateningly leaped aboard the Phantom jet fighter at a fast speed. When the pilot tried to launch a missile to attack the craft, he reportedly lost all instrumentation. He was forced to abort as well. Both pilots reported regaining control of their instrumentation upon turning away from the aircraft.
