CIA FOIA document CIA-RDP88-01315R000300070004-1 preserves a Washington Post report (January 19, 1979) based on an official US government analysis of the 1976 Tehran UAP incident. An Iranian Air Force F-4 fighter was scrambled to intercept a brightly lit UAP — described as the “size of a Boeing 707 jet” with “colored fast-flashing lights.” The object was tracked by Iranian radar and independently observed by the crew of a commercial airliner. A smaller object emerged from the larger one. When the F-4 pilot prepared to fire an AIM-9 missile at the smaller object, “the electronics weapons system of one of the planes went dead.” The plane’s electronic equipment “became operative after they veered away from the smaller object, which had returned to the larger light.” The Iranian Air Force filed a full report. The US government compiled its own analysis. This event — witnessed by multiple radar stations, military personnel, and commercial aviation crew — involved direct weapons system interference. The complete radar and weapons data are in CIA files and DIA records. The 1976 Iran incident is considered by analysts one of the best-documented military UAP cases in history, combining radar confirmation, multiple credible witnesses, and documented weapons system failure in direct proximity to the object. It is in the CIA’s own FOIA library.
