00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:07,108
good morning and gentlemen my name is

2
00:00:03,419 --> 00:00:11,369
Parviz Jafari and i'm a retired general

3
00:00:07,108 --> 00:00:15,618
of iranian air force at about 11:00 p.m.

4
00:00:11,369 --> 00:00:19,528
on the evening of 18 September 1976

5
00:00:15,618 --> 00:00:22,469
citizens were frightened by circling of

6
00:00:19,528 --> 00:00:27,410
an unknown object over Tehran the

7
00:00:22,469 --> 00:00:32,098
capital city of Iran at a low altitude

8
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:35,789
it looked similar to as far but bigger

9
00:00:32,098 --> 00:00:41,609
and brighter they reported it to the

10
00:00:35,789 --> 00:00:43,829
tower and was seen by tall man - he

11
00:00:41,609 --> 00:00:48,238
alerted their first command post and

12
00:00:43,829 --> 00:00:54,149
deputy general Youssef II decided to

13
00:00:48,238 --> 00:00:57,649
scramble and f4j - in this case the

14
00:00:54,149 --> 00:01:02,489
pilot in the first jet last

15
00:00:57,649 --> 00:01:05,900
instrumentation and communication when

16
00:01:02,488 --> 00:01:10,438
he got too close to the brilliant object

17
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:13,290
so he headed back about ten minutes

18
00:01:10,438 --> 00:01:17,069
later they scrambled a second jet which

19
00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:20,340
I was piloting at the time I was a

20
00:01:17,069 --> 00:01:23,368
squadron commander I approached the

21
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:29,520
object which was flashing with intense

22
00:01:23,368 --> 00:01:32,700
red green orange and blue the light was

23
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:36,658
so bright that I was not able to see its

24
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:41,640
body the sequence of flashes was

25
00:01:36,659 --> 00:01:46,170
extremely fast like a strobe light we

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:51,629
lock on it with radar at it was it 30

27
00:01:46,170 --> 00:01:54,960
degrees left at range of 25 miles the

28
00:01:51,629 --> 00:02:01,188
size and the radar scope was comparable

29
00:01:54,959 --> 00:02:04,500
to the ACA's 707 tanker for other object

30
00:02:01,188 --> 00:02:08,449
with different shapes separated from the

31
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:11,699
main one at different times during the

32
00:02:08,449 --> 00:02:15,699
base close encounter

33
00:02:11,699 --> 00:02:19,659
whenever they were close to me my weapon

34
00:02:15,699 --> 00:02:25,359
were jammed and my radio communications

35
00:02:19,659 --> 00:02:29,879
were garbled one of the objects headed

36
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:32,980
toward me I thought it was a missile I

37
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:39,210
tried to launch a heat-seeking missile

38
00:02:32,979 --> 00:02:39,209
to it but my missile panel went out

39
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:46,630
another followed me when I was

40
00:02:42,069 --> 00:02:50,219
descending on the way back one of the

41
00:02:46,629 --> 00:02:53,620
separated object landed in an open area

42
00:02:50,219 --> 00:03:00,430
radiating a high bright light in which

43
00:02:53,620 --> 00:03:03,490
the Saints on the ground were visible we

44
00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:06,219
could hear mergency squash at all the

45
00:03:03,490 --> 00:03:09,580
way which was reported by other

46
00:03:06,219 --> 00:03:13,259
airliners flying at the time and

47
00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:17,230
continued for another couple of days

48
00:03:13,259 --> 00:03:20,079
during my interview at headquarter after

49
00:03:17,229 --> 00:03:23,799
the incident the American lieutenant

50
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:26,680
colonel all annoy took notes but after

51
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:32,680
it was over I could not find him to talk

52
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:36,250
with later it was later once classified

53
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:39,610
document was released here in America to

54
00:03:36,250 --> 00:03:42,669
the Freedom of Information Act the

55
00:03:39,610 --> 00:03:47,010
Defense Intelligence Agency documented

56
00:03:42,669 --> 00:03:52,049
the event in a great detail and it was

57
00:03:47,009 --> 00:03:56,799
sent to NSA the White House and the CIA

58
00:03:52,050 --> 00:04:00,070
the DIA assessment said this case is a

59
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:04,180
classic that meets all necessary

60
00:04:00,069 --> 00:04:07,620
conditions for a legend tape study of

61
00:04:04,180 --> 00:04:07,620
the UFO phenomena

62
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:18,949
