A mysterious flying object was seen hovering over the skies of Tehran and Mashhad on Sunday, September 20, 2026 sparking fresh online speculation and theories, according to Iranian media. The clips quickly gained traction across a city already on edge. Ever since Washington and Israeli strikes started on February 28, Tehran’s airspace has remained an active zone, with drones buzzing overhead every single night for the past seven months. The footage triggered widespread alarm that the US might be quietly deploying advanced military technology in their skies.
According to German news outlet bne IntelliNews, no Iranian official has commented on the objects, their altitude or their flight path, and none of the viral videos have been independently verified.
