Did an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) experience anti-aircraft fire from Iran’s Navy this week? A peculiar incident involving intensive anti-aircraft activity against a luminous entity unfolded on the evening of July 12-13 above Bandar Anzali port, Guilan province. The event quickly escalated to the spotlight through viral videos.
Did the Iranian Navy attempt to shoot down a UFO?
Videos uploaded to Twitter and YouTube by users and media outlets alleged that an unidentified presence prompted Iran’s defense forces into action. Despite firing multiple rounds of anti-aircraft ammunition, the object remained intact, leading some to speculate an “invisible shield” or “force field” protected it.
While it may sound like a modern-day Battle of Los Angeles, the answer might be less fantastical than the return of indestructible UFOs. Those less eager for virality and more cautious initially suspected a simpler explanation.

One video shows witness talking about them firing at it but nothing happens, and the other talks about these two lights being stationary there silent and he has never seen anything like it.

Official Response: A Military Drill
Mohammad Pourkhosh Saadat, the head of the security council and governor of Bandar Anzali, chalked it up to a routine military exercise. The Navy had scheduled this drill, involving target practice with flares designed to explode before contact, simulating an aircraft navigating anti-aircraft fire.
Despite the official explanation, doubts persist. Critics argue that a flare wouldn’t act in this manner and question the decision to hold such a drill near the city. However, supporters agree with the authorities, pointing out the object’s lack of abnormal movements or maneuvers -none of the 5 observables- and its flickering, consistent with a flare’s behavior before extinguishing.
