NCIDENTS OF
NTEREST THE U.S. GOVERNMENT &"THE IRAN"'CASE
MORE INFORMATION ON THAT
IRAN CASE ••• STRAIGHT FRO"'
THE "TOP BRASS"!
In IUR Vol. 1 , No. 1 , a case in the
Foreign Forum feature described an
encounter between Iranian Air Force
jets and a UFO which ~layed "cat and
mouse" with them, appearing on
· radar and "paralyzing" their weapons
and electronics systems when the
jets attempted to open fire on it. In the
interim, rumors began to circulate
that a government document de-
tailing the incident was being ex-
amined by high government officials.
UFO researcher Charles Huffer took
an interest in securing a copy of this
document while in Germany, but all
his efforts met with official rebuffs.
This past summer on a ·trip to the
United States, Mr. Hufrer managed to
obtain a copy of the original teletype
message reproduced below which
gives details of the case from the
Pentagon. under the auspices of the
Freedom of Information Act.
What is particularly interesting
about the document is the list of
official agencies which received
copies of the message. Briefly trans-
lating the official acronyms, the
document was received by the fol-
lowing offices and agencies: the
Secretary of Stcite, the Central Intel-
ligence Agency, the White House, the
Air Force and Army Chiefs of Staff,
the Chief of Naval Operations, the
Defense Intelligence Agency, the
Commander in Chief of U.S. Naval
Forces in the Middle East, the
Commander in Chief of the U.S. Air
Force in Europe, the European
Defense Air Command, and the
Commander in Chief of Forces in
Europe. An impressive list!
IUR and others have been intrigued
by the fact that this particular UFO
report seems to have become the con-
cern of the "top brass" in the U.S.
military defense structure. Do all UFO
reports undergo this sort of distribu-
tion and what happens to them .once
they reach these prestigious offices?
IUR contacted the local state sen-
ator's office Mititary Liaison Officer
who was able to be of some assis-
tance in the matter. She called the
Army, Navy, and Air Force offices in
Washington as well as the Depart-
ment of Defense and addressad these
very que~tions on behalf of IUR. The
answers were i!iuminating: all these
agencies agree:d that the "top brass"
mentioned in the distribution list
were routinely informed of every item
of interest which comes out of the
sensitive Midd1e East area. Hence. it
is not. unusual at all that copies of the
report should have made their way to
these offices. All correspondence
that makes the military wires from
this area is so relayed. As to whether
or not all UFO reports from every area
are conveyed to these sources, that
question must remain unanswered at
this time except by implication; any
report from a. "hot" area would be ·
relayed. What happens to them once.
they reach the top brass is ano~her
thing. IUR was not able to glean any
information on whether or not there
exist any files, or a normal procedure
in dealing with UFO sightings.
IUR was also able to find some
information on the allowed inter-
national lighting configurations and
colors. The initial, primary object, ac-
cording to the report had alternating
blue, green, red and orange lights.
FAA Federal Aviation Regulation 43
(91.1) on General Operation and
Flight Applicability states that blue
lights are not authorized on U.S.
planes. Furthermore, _the Inter-
national Civil Aviation Organization
states that blue lights -are Illegal and
that only certain stringently specified
light cQnfirguations are allowable on
aircraf.-. However, IUR must point out
that e~en in past sightings personally
investigated, the witnesses have per·
ceived the green navigat•onal lights of
planes as blue or blue-Jreen.
