I would say it took about a second or two to make a full circle.” Perouzi could see that the object oscil- lated like a see-saw with the two ends describing 20 degrée arcs. "I was amazed. Flabbergasted. I didn't know what to think. There definitely was a very strange object there in the sky right over Teh…

Perouzi interviews , page 3 Perouzi did not are with the other des- criptions. He saw the object change shape so often, no single description would suf- fice. Initially it was a "cylinder" with a blue base and top, then a blue disc about siz meters in diameter, then a fan-like object and later on a "cylinder" on its side with the top left corner curved instead of angled. While stationary the UFO rhythmically glowed, oscillated and emitted lights that rotated around it. Every few minutes it would change positions, seemingly disappearing from the observers at the control tower, and almost instan…

Perouzi interviews, page 4 "But when the pilot got to within about 15 miles of the UFO his communication system and some of the elftronic equipment went out of action. Then, with the plane still on course, the object suddenly disappeared. When the pilot had his radar operating again the UFO was now 50 miles away."

The pilot was afraid of overflying the border so he turned back toward Tehran. While he was still 170 miles from Tehran the UFO appeared over th…

When it was obvious to it that I meant to con- tinue following, the UFO ejected a luminous object at me. That's when I neaded straight back for Mehrabad IATL TEIDOIEE, o From the control tower Perouzi and the others saw the bright object detaching itself from the larger bright object ("mother UF…

Perouzi interviews, page 6 Perouzi said that from the ground the second luminous object had been visible only when it was separated from the original object and in the initial stages of the chase. Thereafter he was able to notice only the dark, 2 x 2 meter, rectangular form above the passing Phantom. The Phantom climbed to 50,000 feet and again approached the UFO. Then ne changed his mind and radioed ,"It's too dangerous. I'm returning." While descending he radioed "The luminous object is separating again...it's descending. It has landed by the refinery ( the @ivil refinery near the suburb of …

A. That is true. They both were scrambled and they locked on the target but they received a very strong jamming. And then they lost almost every avionics system they had on the airplane.
