"Miles replied on August 7, sending a photocopy of the 
unclassified Mooy memorandum, as well as several articles on the 
incident that had been published in Tehran's two English-language 
newspapers."
Klass then uses the information contained in these newspapers to 
attempt to debunk the DIA report!!  What a joke.  Apart from the 
newspaper depending on 2nd hand information (hand-feed from the 
Iranian government). The DIA submissions were taken from 
interviews with the original witness - pilot, air traffic 
controllers (I would also like to hear his evidence for claiming 
that the radar was down at a major airbase) and the general which 
all represent 1st hand information.  It is easy to see that the 
newspaper headlines changed from a confirmed ufo sighting to a 
hoax within 5 days (as shown to me by a friend) and putting 
complete trust in them over the witness testimony is ludicrous.  
Even Klass admitted this in his book:
"Despite this disclaimed from an unidentified "official source," 
it seems prudent to put more credence in the Mooy memorandum, 
since it is based on notes taken during the debriefing of the 
second F-4 crew,"
What Klass attempt to do next is amazing.  He still accepts the 
newspaper reports (which were constantly changing) and attempt to 
find further evidence to support their versions of the event.  For 
example he makes the claim:
"Thus, the second F-4's long history of electrical-power-system 
outages,involving an intermittent-type fault -- admittedly 
difficult to isolate and fix -- offers a prosaic explanation to 
the hypothesis that the aircraft was "jammed" by some emission 
from a UFO.
AND THIS PROSAIC EXPLANATION ALSO WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THE MEHRABAD 
AIRPORT'S RADIO SYSTEMS DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY UFO INTERFERENCE."
Because the newspaper made no mention of interference in both 
aircraft's electrical systems as the initial 1st hand Mooy report 
states, he explains away the electrical disruption by electric an 
electrical fault (obtain from tech reps which no one will ever 
find).  The second statement is again based on a lack of it being 
mentioned in the Iranian paper (latter I will discuss the actually 
statements, the first hand witness made on the show 'sightings').
