Reference To Incident in The Media

• The Sightings TV program covered the incident in 1994, interviewing many of the participants. (See above)
• The Tehran incident was considered one of the ten best UFO cases in a 2007 Canadian documentary Best Evidence by film maker Paul Kimball. The list of best cases was compiled by polling leading UFO researchers.
• At a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on 12 November 2007, the pilot of the second F-4, General Parviz Jafari, recounted how he tried to intercept an "object which was flashing with intense red, green, orange and blue light." Jafari said that, "Four other objects with different shapes separated from the main one, at different times during this close encounter. Whenever they were close to me, my weapons were jammed and my radio communications were garbled. One of the objects headed toward me. I thought it was a missile. I tried to launch a heat seeking missile to it, but my missile panel went out. Another followed me when I was descending on the way back. One of the separated objects landed in an open area radiating a high bright light, in which the sands on the ground were visible. We could hear emergency squash all the way, which was reported by other airliners flying at the time and continued for another couple of days. During my interview at H.Q, after the incident, an American colonel took notes..." When asked if he thought this was an alien spacecraft, he said he was quite sure that it was.
