EXCLUSIVE - Mysterious glowing UFO hovers silently over Iran in shocking new video

A mysterious UFO hovering over Iran has been captured on video, sparking theories that the strangely shaped craft was not made by human hands.
The video was taken on Sunday by a witness on the Azadegan Highway in Tehran around 7.30pm local time.
A man identifying himself as Ali Sedaghati shared the sighting on X, describing a large, crescent-shaped craft completely illuminated with multi-colored lights.
The witness said: 'I really don't know what it is, but it was near the clouds, had special lights, and was hovering in the space without any sound!'
The object appeared to be a single-wing craft, with a small tail section that curved to a sharp point.
Some have suggested that the silent craft was a drone hovering over the Iranian capital, which is still engaged in a months-long military conflict with the US.
Sedaghati said on X that the object was approximately the size of a large plane, claiming 'it wasn't human-made. It was a UFO, I'm sure.'
The witness was only able to record for just over 20 seconds. He added that when he tried to take more video about ten minutes later, the craft had disappeared.

A man in Tehran, Iran has shared clear footage of an alleged UFO flying silently over the country on September 20
Many viewers of the shocking sighting, which has already been viewed more than 5.2 million times as of Monday morning, believed the UFO was an elaborate drone sighting, claiming a real UFO would not have had such colorful lighting.
Others have suggested that the video captured advanced military surveillance equipment, while Iranian authorities have not identified it.
While some are sure the lights were proof of extraterrestrial life, the US government has maintained that there has never been any evidence recovered that proves UFOs or extraterrestrial life exists and has visited Earth.
However, the sighting also came almost on the exact anniversary of another infamous UFO sighting over Tehran 50 years ago.
That encounter, involving a showdown between Iranian military jets and a giant, diamond-shaped craft, was so concerning to the US that the Pentagon investigated what took place over the Middle East.
A Pentagon spokesperson told the Daily Mail they had 'nothing to provide' regarding this incident when asked for comment on whether the US military detected the object or was conducting operations in the area at the time of the UFO sighting.
However, on September 19, 1976, another brightly lit craft the size of a large airplane was seen flying over the city of Tehran, and even 'attacked' a military fighter jet sent to observe it.
Fifty years ago, the Imperial Iranian Air Force, which was an ally of the US at the time, scrambled two F-4 Phantoms after multiple civilians saw a giant diamond-shaped UFO over the city around 1.30am local time.

Major Parviz Jafari, the pilot of the second F-4 sent to intercept the UFO, has said in interviews since his encounter that the object appeared to launch multiple glowing orbs, which allegedly circled his plane and shut down his weapons.
Jafari has said that the UFO was as big as a 747 commercial jet, and that at one point, it 'jumped' roughly 28 miles across the sky instantaneously as his jet was approaching it.
That was when the first glowing orb appeared to exit from the bottom of the diamond and fly in circles around his plane, despite the fact that Jafari was traveling at supersonic speeds.
A second orb would eventually approach Jafari's F-4, causing the veteran fighter pilot to believe he was under attack and prepare to launch his missile.
However, the Iranian pilot claimed that some type of electromagnetic pulse from the UFOs completely disabled the panels that controlled his plane's weapons.
A third object was later seen following Jafari's fighter after he disengaged and was returning to his base. That object was seen appearing to crash in Iran, near the Mehrabad International Airport, but no wreckage was ever found.

A declassified report from the Pentagon revealed that the US military investigated the 1976 UFO sighting of Iran
The newest sighting came just 48 hours after the Pentagon released its sixth batch of UFO files, including more videos of unidentified craft flying over the Middle East in recent years.
The latest tranche contained incidents which had been filmed by US drone aircraft flying over Iraq and other Middle East countries between 2022 and 2025, including one which featured a cluster of strange orbs flying in formation.
The group of glowing orbs was seen traveling past an oil rig, flying at high speed next to each other in an almost perfect horizontal line before splitting up into groups of three.
Other videos followed individual orbs traveling over the desert or over water at extreme speeds before disappearing from view after several minutes.
