Mysterious UFO Sighted Over Iran’s Karaj City Moments Before Airstrikes

A baffling video capturing an unidentified flying object (UFO) hovering in the skies above Karaj, Iran, has taken the internet by storm.

Recorded just minutes before the onset of airstrikes on February 28, 2026, the footage shows a strange luminous entity maneuvering erratically over the city.

This sighting coincides with heightened tensions in the Middle East, adding fuel to speculation about its possible connection to the military actions that followed.

The video, initially shared on local Iranian social media platforms like Telegram and Instagram, quickly went viral, amassing millions of views worldwide within hours.

Witnesses in Karaj described the object as a glowing orb that changed colors from blue to orange, emitting no sound and moving at speeds inconsistent with conventional aircraft.

Military analysts and UFO researchers have scrutinized the footage, but no consensus has emerged.

Some experts, including former Pentagon officials, suggest it could be an advanced drone or experimental missile from a foreign power, possibly linked to the impending airstrikes.

Others propose natural explanations, like a meteor, atmospheric phenomenon, or even a lens flare from the camera.

Iranian state media invited specialists from Tehran’s Sharif University of Technology to conduct frame-by-frame analysis, revealing unusual heat signatures via infrared filters, yet the object’s origin remains elusive.
