In this Halloween episode of Aliens with the Girls, we head to Tehran, Iran, where in 1976 the Iranian Air Force is about to chase a UFO seen by pilots, radar operators, and civilians across the night sky. It’s one of the most credible UFO sightings ever recorded — complete with radar confirmation, a game of cat & mouse, and a mysterious glowing craft that left no trace.
Before jumping in, a quick letter from the editor: my editing software crashed. Twice. Aaaand we had some minor audio issues this week. If it drives you crazy, skip head to minute 21ish and you’ll have some crystal-clear audio. You’ll miss our Halloween chat, but you’ll jump right in at the start of the Tehran UFO encounter.
Thanks for bearing with us — and for listening to Aliens with the Girls!
