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 Tonite radio show on 10/31/93. During the show Don and Lee talk about this particular incident. You can listen to a clip of the show by clicking here.

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.
