UFO incident</a></div> <ul><li>The 1976 Tehran UFO Incident was a radar and visual sighting of an unidentified flying object (UFO) over Tehran, the capital of Iran. The incident is particularly notable for the electromagnetic interference effects on aircraft near the UFO. Two F-4 jet interceptors independently lost instrumentation and communications as they approached, only to have these restored when they left. One F-4 also lost its weapons systems when it was about to fire on the object. The incident is well documented in a 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 the object was an extraterrestrial craft.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="1982">1982</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=UFO_sightings_in_Iran&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: 1982"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>At night of summer 1982 in <a href="/wiki/Isfahan" title="Isfahan">Isfahan</a>, a large reflection of an object (UFO?) was seen by thousands of people in the sky.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Abulghassem Nasrollahi, the Deputy General of the <a href="/wiki/Kerman" title="Kerman">Kerman</a> province in <a href="/wiki/Iran" title="Iran">Iran</a> told the news agency that all the aircraft in the area had been accounted for, but did not rule out the possibility that the object could be a meteor. Another source also told the FNA that the object was on fire with thick smoke coming from it, and claimed that this implied the object was not a meteor. However, meteors appear as bright fireballs in the sky, as they are heated to high temperatures due largely to <a href="/wiki/Ram_pressure" title="Ram pressure">ram pressure</a> as they fall at high speeds through the Earth's atmosphere. Meteors often burn up completely before reaching the ground and some leave a smoke-like trail in their wake.
