It is considered probable that the sightings of vapor trail s {contr ails) a t high altitude ver Babolsar, Iran, r elate to twin-jet aircraft. The contrails could result from ~be engine eff'uxes. The most likely aircraft, considering the adjacent USSR areas, l are BA.OOER and FLA.Sm~IGHT. At. high_ altitude, either aircraft could leave such ~wV contrails as reported, _without the vehicle itsel.f being seen. ( 6ffili'TW'ii'HI hQ.:..' 2.
