Tehran lights (Sept 20, 2026)

Unproven What these labels mean →

One low-resolution video by one person (Azadegan Expressway, 7:30pm): a curved line of RGB lights hovering or drifting for about 10 minutes. It shows no signs of AI or editing, so the footage is probably real. But real footage doesn't mean an unexplained object, and the lights look like LED drones or kites. A second clip passed around as more evidence is 1994 footage from Nevada. Iran has said nothing. The hologram idea has no evidence behind it: a projected image needs a surface such as smoke or cloud.
