There have been several notable UFO sightings in Iran over the years. One of the most famous incidents occurred in 1976, known as the Tehran UFO Incident. During this event, two F-4 jet interceptors from the Imperial Iranian Air Force experienced instrumentation and communication failures when approaching a UFO over Tehran. These systems were restored once they distanced themselves from the object¹².

In addition to the Tehran incident, there have been other reported sightings, such as a mass UFO sighting in 2004, where thousands of people across Iran reported seeing unidentified objects in the sky¹.

Globally, belief in UFOs and extraterrestrial visits to Earth has been growing. In the United States, for example, a significant portion of the population believes that UFO sightings are evidence of alien life. This belief has been fueled by various reports and whistleblower claims suggesting that governments might be withholding information about non-human life and UFOs⁶⁷.

Do you find these reports intriguing?
