1976 Tehran UFO incident
This is one of the best UFO cases ever, IMHO: too sad that there aren't
more evidences ...
The 1976 Tehran UFO Incident was a radar and visual sighting of an
unidentified flying object (UFO) over Tehran, the capital of Iran, during the
early morning hours of September 19, 1976. The incident is particularly notable for the electromagnetic interference effects observed on
aircraft in close proximity to the object: two F-4 Phantom II jet interceptors independently lost instrumentation and communications as they
approached, only to have them restored upon withdrawal; one of the aircraft also suffered temporary weapons systems failure while preparing to
fire upon the object.
The incident is well-documented in an U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report with a distribution list that included the White House,
Secretary of State, Joint Chiefs of Staff, National Security Agency (NSA), and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Various high-ranking Iranian military officers directly involved with the events have also gone on public record stating their belief that the object
was not terrestrial in origin.

A declassified document related to the famous Teheran UFO and jet fighter encounter in 1976.
Please read the page I wrote about this for details.
This is a capital case, aknowleged by a US intelligence agency, where a UFO encountered an aircraft,
and reacted in a superior ant intelligent manner to the aircraft's interception attempt by shutting
down temporarily the aircraft's weapons system.
The DIA evaluation termed this "An outstanding report.
This case is a classic which meets all the criteria necessary for a valid study of the UFO phenomenon."
The analysis called the UFO performance "awesome," noting that the objects displayed "an inordinate
amount of maneuverability."

Two Phantom 4 fighter-bombers of the American air force chased two unidentified flying
objects in Iran in 1976, indicates documents of the C.I.A. made public following an action in
court by the association "Ground Saucer Watch" based in Phoenix (Arizona).
"Ground Saucer Watch" used an American law on the freedom of information to obtain 1000 pages
of documents of the intelligence agency.
According to Mr. William Spaulding, responsible person of "Ground Saucer Watch", these documents,
which contain several detailed descriptions of encounters between the United States Air Force
and the flying saucers, prove the existence links and common patterns to all the UFO appearances.
Mr. Spaulding estimates that the UFOs are on mission of monitoring of the earth.
The responsible person of "Ground Saucer Watch" also stated to have in his possession two statements
under oath by colonels of the United States Air Force in retirement revealing that two UFOs that crashed
on the ground had been recovered.
According to the two retired officers, who saw the corpses of the passengers of the flying machines,
the extraterrestrials have a size of approximately 1 meter 20 and a skin of silvery color.
The small chaps also wore metallized suits which seemed to have melted with their body under the effect of heat.

Hi internos, great info, I watched all the clips.

There is so much good stuff of this, we can discussing it for days I think.
What is your impression of the Concorde video?
Some analysis indicated that it was a reflection.
But i've never looked at the analysis, so i'm unable to say what i think about them:
i'd guess that they've been made by some actual experts.
This official British Airways film, was taken in June 1976 during one of Concorde's
test flights over southern England. The video depicts a strange white light or probe type object,
which seems to descend from above Concorde to below the aircraft and then back up again in front
of the fuselage. What makes it puzzling is the fact that the light goes vertically downwards
all whilst Concorde is travelling horizontally and at great speed.
However, a later analysis of the images presebnted in a UFO documentary indicated that the
small object was really a relfection of sunlight within the camera lenses.
The camera has an image stabilizer, which produced the effect of an apparent independant move of the reflection.

It does make sense, imho, but as said, i whish to have a look at the analysis.
Thank you for posting the link to the analysis on CRISTCHURCH sighting
