Very often I’m asked why I am such a believer in the existence of a genuine UFO phenomenon, regardless of its ultimate point of origin – or points of origin. Well, the answer is very simple: there are certain cases that, despite rigorous study, it has proved very difficult to explain away in rational and down to earth terms. A classic example is a startling event that occurred back in the mid to late 1970s. It attracted high level, official attention and demonstrated that when it comes to UFOs, military firepower is no match for the true unknowns.

Strange and amazing things were afoot in the night skies of Tehran, the capital of Iran, on September 19, 1976. Those things revolved around nothing less than the pilot of the Iranian Air Force practically doing battle with a potentially hostile unidentified flying object. Not surprisingly, a U.S. Government file was created on the event.

For at least some insight into what happened on September 19, we are reliant upon one of just two pieces of evidence that have surfaced, via the Freedom of Information Act. The first is a three-page paper – titled Now You See It, Now You Don’t! – which was penned by Captain Henry S. Shields, USAF. The second is a three-page document from the Defense Intelligence Agency. The latter reads like sci-fi. Astonishingly, it is nothing of the sort.

According to the paperwork at issue, it was not long after midnight on the 19th when people living in the Shemiran area of Tehran reported seeing strange, unidentified lights maneuvering directly overhead. Phone calls were quickly placed with local police and military authorities at Shahrokhi Air Force base.

  • Where have you been? This has been on TV several times since 77. Even UFO hunters did a story about it. It’s hogwash.
