These unidentified flying objects have recently been observed in the sky over the Markazi (central), Bushehr and Esfahan Provinces. In this connection, an informed source has told the Fars News Agency: Since sometime ago, light emitting objects, resembling comets, have been observed in the sky over the Karkas region of Natanz, flying from east to west and at an altitude of around 30,000 feet. According to this source, in one of the instances, a light emitting object was blown up in the sky and the explosion produced green, blue and violet sparks. This source went on to say: Furthermore, recently, in the vicinity of the new town of Mohajeran of Arak and in the Khandab district, some luminous flying objects, which accordingly to some local people resembled aircraft, were observed over these regions on several occasions. According to this source, the presence of these objects has caused worry among the people. This source emphasized: On the basis of the available reports, there are indications about the presence of unidentified flying objects in the Bushehr sky on a number of occasions, particularly in recent weeks. In the past too, particularly during Ordibehesht of this year (21 April to 21 May 2004), there were reports about a new wave of unidentified flying objects in the country's sky. At the time, Jenny Randals, a distinguished researcher in intelligence affairs in Britain, had said: The unidentified flying objects over Iran may be instruments for espionage. This British researcher, who has been studying unidentified flying objects all over the world for around 30 years, went on to say: It is of course true that the observation of unidentified flying objects increases during the times of political crises, but it should be emphasized that these objects are present in the skies all the time. This researcher said: Of course, there is no doubt that during the times of political crisis, military reconnaissance flights naturally increase. Furthermore, at such times, a great deal of effort is made to keep these reconnaissance flights secret. Randals emphasized: Some instances of observation of unidentified flying objects that have been reported so far have proven to be cases of espionage and reconnaissance flights.
