| On Saturday, April 16, 2005, at 12 noon, tourist Elizabeth B. was visiting the tomb of King Cyrus the Great in Iran when she had an unusual sighting. "Facing the monolith, the sun was overhead yet behind me," she reported, "I believe I was facing north." "I looked up over my left shoulder to see a disk about 20 feet (6 meters) high, mindlessly letting out vapour around its edge. I believe it was about 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) in diameter, grey in colour. It was a hovering UFO. It seemed as though it could have been spying. I felt intimidated and looked down at the ground and saw its shadow moving around in front of me. I did NOT want to interact with it." "This is the second UFO I've seen. The first was in Rockville, Maryland in December of 2004. I felt that both times I was being watched. The disk was grey or dull silver; the sun was behind it, as this is just an approximation. I only saw it hovering, then its shadow moving around in a circular, slightly erratic pattern for about 20 seconds." UFO activity continues in Iran, mostly on the border of Esfahan and Chahar Mahal Bakhtiari province. According to Iranian ufologist Kufa Yildaz, "luminous disks" and "a long silver cylinder" have been seen passing over the Kuha Yezagro mountains at dusk and "in the late evening." Cities reporting UFO sightings in April and May include Najafabad, Falavarjan and Riz, all west of Isfahan. (Many thanks to Ayesha al-Khatabi and Kufa Yildaz for these news reports.) (Editor's Note: Isfahan is the site of one of Iran's major nuclear research centers.) |
