Subject: [UASR]> DSP Satellite Confirmation of the Iranian

From: http://ufo-world.simplenet.com/iran_dsp.html

The DSP Connection

An impressive breakthrough in the confirmation of the Iranian UFO
encounter was uncovered by researchers Lee Graham and Ron Regehr,
of Aero-Jet in California. They confirmed that the UFO sighting
over Tehran was, in fact, tracked by the United States military's
DSP satellite.

Some of our readers may be aware that the primary responsibility
of the DSP-1 satellite is to detect the launch of ballistic
missiles. This deep-space platform detects infrared heat through
sensors that are mounted on the body of the satellite. ANYTHING
that emits infrared heat is detected by this apparatus. It can
determine different types of aircraft simply by comparing the
"signature" of the infrared signals displayed by an object
against an intensely complete database of all known aircraft. The
DSP was, as we now know, responsible for the detection of Iraqi
SCUD missile launches during Operation Desert Storm.

During their investigations, Graham and Reghr have located
computer print-outs from the time frame of the the Iranian UFO
overflight, which show that the DSP definitely detected an
"anomalous object" in Iranian air space.

Lee Graham was a guest on Don Ecker's UFOs Tonight radio show on
10/31/93. During the show Don and Lee talk about this particular
incident.

A Computer printout of the anomalous event with the classified term
"238 SCANS - POSSIBLE SR" [.jpg is available at the above URL] The
term "238 SCANS" indicates that the event lasted more than an
hour.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the ONLY case in history
where we have confirmation of a UFO sighting by observers both on
the ground, in the air and by the DSP-1. The magnitude of this
revelation should not be overlooked. It would be an interesting
project to compare DSP records to other reported anomalous
sightings around the world.
