“Former Investigator Convinced UFOs Exist”,
11 May 1978
(The Palm Beach Post, West Palm Beach, Florida)

Palm Beach Post reports on the UFO research work of former U.S. Air Force UFO investigator John Wallace Spencer:

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=pvMiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ycwFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4354,6015738

Quote from the article:
“ ‘UFOs are real,’ Spencer said. ‘We have pictures of them. We’ve tracked them with fighter aircraft. People, reliable people, have seen them. We know they’re there.’

The Air Force veteran, who spent about four years as a UFO investigator for the armed services, said a national leader cannot recognize the existence of outer-space visitors because any recognition will result in two questions.”

Sightings reports on the 18/19 September 1976 Iranian Air Force fighter jets UFO encounter over Tehran, Iran:

This episode contains interviews with Iranian Air Force officers Abdollah Azarbarzin, Deputy Commander (in 1976) and Amir Kamyabipour, Lieutenant General (in 1976).

A U.S. reconnaissance satellite was monitoring the skies over Tehran on 19 September 1976 and recorded a movement of an unidentified flying object. Sightings presents a U.S. government document that proves this fact.

The two Iranian Air Force fighter pilots who chased the UFO were Captain Mohammad Reza Azizkhani and Lieutenant Parviz Jafari.

UFO TV News Report:
UFO over Niederbayern, Germany
(TRP 1, Passau, Germany)

Thomas Metz managed to film an unknown object over Niederbayern for five seconds:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9neuDNXKOXg

Metz first saw a flash in the sky before he started to film the object. And he says the object emitted no sound.

Straubing-Wallmuhle Air Traffic Controller Lothar Mai rules out the possibility that the object could be a conventional aircraft. He based it on the object’s speed and the altitude it flew at.

Dr. Thomas Weyer at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt) (DLR) says the object was neither a meteorite nor space debris. And other top experts at DLR came to the same conclusion, and said it was an unknown object, according to TRP1.

It’s unknown when the UFO footage was recorded.
