OTHER STOP OF THE PRIMARY OBJECT GOING STRAIGHT DOWN AT A GREAT RATE OF SPEED. THE F-4 CREW HAD REGAINED COMMUNICATIONS AND THE WEAPONS CONTROL PANEL AND WATCHED THE OBJECT APPROACH THE GROUND ANTICIPATING A LARGE EXPLOSION. THIS OBJECT APPEARED TO COME TO REST Gently ON THE EARTH AND CAST A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT OVER AN AREA OF ABOUT 2-3 KILOMETERS. THE CREW DESCENDED FROM THEIR ALTITUDE OF 26M TO 15M AND CONTINUED TO OBSERVE AND MARK THE OBJECT'S POSITION. THEY HAD SOME DIFFICULTY IN ADJUSTING THEIR NIGHT VISIBILITY FOR LANDING SO AFTER ORRITING MEHRABAD A FEW TIMES THEY WENT OUT FOR A STRAIGHT IN CANDING. THERE WAS A LOT OF INTERFERENCE ON THE UHF AND FACH TIME THEY PASSED THROUGH A MAG. REARING OF 150 DEGREE FROM FHRABAD THEY LOST THEIR COMMUNICATIONS (UHF AND INTERPHONE) AND THE INS FLUCTUATED FROM 30 DEGREES - 50 DEGREES. THE ONE CIVIL AIRLINER THAT WAS APPROACHING MEHRABAD DURING THIS SAME TIME EXPRIENCED COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE IN THE SAME VICINITY (KILO 70LU) BUT DID NOT REPORT SEFING ANYTHING. WHILE THE F-4 WAS ON A LONG FINAL APPROACH THE CREW NOTICED ANOTHER CYLINDER SHAPED OBJECT (ABOUT THE SIZE OF A T-BIRD AT 10M) WITH BRIGHT STEADY LIGHTS ON EACH END AND A FLASHER THE MIDDLE. WHEN OVERFIRD THE TOWER STATED THERE WAS NO OTHER KNOWN TRAFFIC IN THE AREA. DURING THE TIME THAT THE OBJECT PASSED OVER THE F-4 THE TOWER DID NOT HAVE A VISUAL ON IT BUT PICKED IT UP AFTER THE PILOT TOLD THEM TO LOOK E. DURING DAYLIGHT THE F-4 CRFV WAS TAKEN OUT TO THE AREA IN A HFLICOPTER WHERE THE OBJECT APPARENTLY HAD LANDFD. NOTHING WAS NOTICED AT THE SPOT WHERE THEY THOUGHT THE OBJECT LANDFD (A DRY LAKE RED) BUT AS THEY CIRCLED OFF TO THE WEST OF THE AREA THEY PICKED UP A VERY NOTICEABLE REEPER SIGNAL. AT THE POINT WHERE THE RETURN WAS THE LOUDEST WAS A SHALL HOUSE WITH A GARDEN. THEY LANDFD AND ASKED THE PEOPLE WITHIN IF THEY HAD NOTICED ANYTHING STRANGF LAST NIGHT. THE PEOPLE TANKED ABOUT A LOUD NOISE AND A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT LIKE LIGHTNING. THE AIRCRAFT AND AREA WHERE THE OBJECT IS. RFLWFVFD VO HAYF LANDFD ARF REING CHECKED FOR POSSIBLE RADIATION.
