Date: 16 January, 2017.

Place: Tehran, Tehran Province, Iran.

On 16 January, a shocking event occurred in the capital city of Iran, Tehran.

According to a video published by YouTube user and famous UFO hunter secureteam10, the Iranian military forces opened fire at a group of alleged UFOs in broad daylight.

The video contains a couple of clips showing several white, round objects moving across the sky. Immediately after being detected, the objects were attacked by military troops with machine gun shots, but none of them were apparently destroyed.

The incident was also mentioned on British online news site Express.co.uk. “A report has been filed to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) with video alleging to be of a mysterious UFO appearing over the Iranian capital before soldiers’ fire shots”, the news stated.

“One video shows a strange white orb that appears to speed up and change direction. Another clip shows a similar object in the sky while shots are fired from a building roof”, it continued.

The event reportedly took place “at the centre of Tehran Enghelab square”, where “thousands of people were seeing this unbelievable incident and many pictures and videos were captured”, it was said.

The strange sighting alarmed the Iranian military forces, and several war planes were sent to intercept the unidentified object. “After the shooting, many airforce aircraft started flying above Tehran searching for these glowing orbs but they couldn't find anything”, stated Express.

Quoted by the British news source, the author of the video related: “they [Iranian authorities] said they were UAVs (drones) to censor and debunk this incident, but as you see in videos UAVs can't fly like that and can't change their direction suddenly - just UFOs and alien technology can fly and move like that”.

“And for UAVs they don't start to shoot that heavily at the centre of Tehran like it was a war, and they don't use the airforce aircrafts just for finding UAVs!” he continued.

The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is currently investigating the case. They still need some time to verify its authenticity.

SHOCK CLAIM: Iranian Airforce gunners filmed firing at UFOs before government 'cover up'

PARANORMAL researchers are probing claims that the Iranian Airforce was filmed shooting at mysterious UFOs over Tehran.

A report has been filed to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) with video alleging to be of a mysterious UFO appearing over the Iranian capital before soldiers fire shots.

One video shows a strange white orb that appears to speed up and change direction.

Another clip shows a similar object in the sky while shots are fired from a building roof.

An anonymous report filed with the video said the incident happened on January 17 at 5pm local time.

This has called the report into question because the same clips have been uploaded to YouTube a day earlier on January 16.

It said: "Iranian Airforce defence started shooting heavily to many UFOs.

"At the centre of Tehran Enghelab square thousands of people were seeing this unbelievable incident and many pictures and videos were captured.

"After the shooting, many airforce aircraft started flying above Tehran searching for these glowing orbs but they couldn't find anything.

"Then they said they were UAVs (drones) to censor and debunk this incident, but as you see in videos UAVs can't fly like that and can't change their direction suddenly - just UFOs and alien technology can fly and move like that.

"And for UAVs they don't start to shoot that heavily at the centre of Tehran like it's a war, and they don't use the airforce aircrafts just for finding UAVs!"

The report writer said they were the administrator of the "biggest UFO disclosure page on Instagram".

MUFON is investigating the claims, but the organisation admits it receives many reports and video or camera footage that is deliberately hoaxed.
