Narrative
Unusual lights spotted over Tehran on September 20 have become the subject of heated online discussion after a video of the phenomenon began circulating on social media. The footage shows bright points of light in the dark sky, but lacks detail to determine what exactly was captured. This also attracted attention due to an interesting historical coincidence. Tehran had already been linked to one of the most talked-about UFO incidents involving military pilots in 1976. submitted by /u/ua-stena
