UFO sighted near Iranian border

Summary

In June 1957, an unidentified flying object was spotted near the border between Azerbaijan and Iran. According to the report, the object appeared as a ball about 50 centimeters in diameter with a tail of 25 centimeters. It was moving at high speed at an altitude of around 600 meters, but was only visible for a few seconds. Witnesses in the Nakhichevan region saw it heading east, leaving a visible trail that lasted about 15 minutes. Although the document is partially illegible, it suggests the object had no conventional features of airplanes or balloons.

The description of the UFO is brief but clear: a spherical shape with a tail, moving rapidly and leaving a trail that lasted longer than expected. This type of sighting, while inconclusive, is common in declassified files and often raises questions about its origin. The fact that multiple witnesses observed it from different points reinforced the report's credibility, although no definitive explanation was reached. This document, like many from the era, reflects the curiosity and confusion generated by unidentified objects during the Cold War.
