I would broadly agree that if this incident was due to the crash of a tangible object, the chances are high that it was indeed some form of advanced platform, drone, or weapons system.

That’s the problem as our technology advances: trying to determine what may be a genuine UFO, and what may be the latest weird-looking contraption of the military.

Of course this seems similar to the “ghost light” reports from Sweden in the late 1940’s, wikipedia has a good article on it. Those had been linked to U.S. experiments with Nazi rocketry. If you ask me it was an Iranian test missile that failed and the state is using a “UFO” cover up. After all it’s the oldest trick in the book. For a really weird perspective on Iran check out my blog.

If you recall there were similar sightings in the early 1950’s around and crashing into bodies of water in Finland and Sweden. These were likely U.S. tests.

Could this “UFO” be an Iranian test missile that failed somehow and crashed? That would explain a clever government cover up using the old “UFO” gimmick.

Given the current political climate, you’d have to lean towards any UFO reports over (or crashing into) Iran as probably being of US origin (ie. intelligence-gathering drones or similar). Having said that, seems to have a history of UFO sightings - and in the context of your previous post regarding ghost lights and Persinger (in particular his Tectonic Stress Theory) - perhaps this could be related to the geological activity of the region? Though I doubt earthquake lights would ‘crash’ and give off smoke…

Kind regards,
