Shocking UFO Videos Surface Out Of Iran, But Is The Footage Real?

Viral UFO footage out of Iran is taking the internet by storm, but does it pass the smell test?

It looks like we have a double-header of UFO content today. First, Donald Trump came out and said he's not a believer, but knows many smart people who are.

Now, we have some videos out of Iran that are pretty perplexing and weird. The X account @GreatWhyteShk shared four videos that appear to show a green disk flying through the air.

You can check out the videos in the tweet below, and hit me up at David.Hookstead@outkick.com with your reactions.

Is the UFO footage out of Iran real?

I have to blow my whistle here and throw a flag. I'm just not convinced at all this is real, and I definitely don't think it's aliens.

It's pretty convenient the UFO looks just like every flying saucer we've seen come out of Hollywood. Very convenient, indeed.

Could it be a bunch of synchronized drones? Sure, but there is no chance this is ET and his friends zipping around. If aliens do exist, what are the odds their craft look exactly what they do in the movies? If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

Having said all of that and remaining insanely skeptical, Iran is home of one of the most famous UFO incidents in human history.

On September 19, 1976, a pair of Iranian fighter jets went to intercept an object near Tehran and two fighter jets failed to work properly once they got close to whatever the object was.

One of the pilots attempted to fire an AIM-9 missile at the object, but when he attempted to engage "his weapons control panel went off and he lost all communications," according to official United States government documents on the incident.

Not only did the fighter jets fail to take the object down, the pilots claim to have watched it land and the crew later returned in a helicopter to try and find it. Witnesses on the ground during the infamous incident recalled seeing bright lights and loud noises, according to the same government documents.

To this day, there's never been an explanation given for what the two F-4 crews witnessed on that night nearly 40 years ago.

So, while I don't believe the little green disk is much of anything - if even real to begin with - Iran is no stranger to very weird UFO content. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
