Tehran Jet Incident (September 19, 1976)
Iranian F-4 pilot Parviz Jafari attempted to intercept a UFO over Tehran, leading to one of the best-documented military encounters. When his jet approached the object, all instruments and communications systems failed. A second F-4 experienced the same electronics failure when it got close to the object. Ground radar stations tracked the UFO while civilians reported seeing bright lights moving at impossible speeds. The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency classified this case as particularly significant due to the multiple radar confirmations, instrument failures, and credible military witnesses. The Iranian government released official documentation about the incident years later.
