The lack of proper communication between us in this side of the pond and you guys in US is the reason that you dont hear much about the topic from us
,,
The sighting that I have to say here is from 1977 ,, In Tehran, Iran ,, I was 15 at the time and was watching the full of stars night sky with a
couple of friends from the balcony of our house ,, suddenly we noticed a bright dot in the sky but initially didnt give it much attention as the path
of aircrafts preparing to land at the airport would give one a full face vision of the planes for a few seconds as they approached ,, so we thought
its the headlights of the plane but to our surprise it did not fade away ,, as the time went on so did our curosity ,,
A good few minutes later the shiny object that was standing still began to move ,, it was hard to say at what speed as we could not figure out how far
up it was ,, at a relatively medium kind of speed it cruised to another point to its right for about 5 seconds ,, it stood still there for about 30
seconds ,, then it moved again to another point a bit further up with exactly the same distance as the first move ,, it stood there for about 30
seconds again and finally moved to the exact initial point making a three 60 degrees nice triangle ,,
it was there for about a minute and then with a 20X faster speed it suddenly flow across the sky like a meteo and disappered as it had crossed the
possible view ,,
2 days later, the at the time famous newspaper, Kayhan, reported the incident, saying that it was picked up by a crossing Air France and also spotted
on the Mehrabad airport radar ,, it said the mighty air force sent two F4s up to see what it was but eventhough the pilots spotted it too but they
could never get close to it as it would move away from them ,, and it said that the object speeds away with a speed much faster than the fighters to
follow it ,, this is documented of course ,, and its not the only one here ,, plenty of such events happen here all the time ,,
