"Is it possible that the missile-like objects reported by both the 
Iranian F-4 pilots, and the glowing objects reported by ground 
observers near Tehran to have fallen from the sky or flitted 
across the sky, might have been meteor fireballs?"
Firstly it does not even fit the original facts (soft landing), 
second its one hell of a coincidence that it appeared to come from 
the primary object which everybody was interested in.  Thirdly, 
Klass makes no reference to the other object which came out of the 
primary object and followed an F-4, finally returning to primary 
after the F-4 was chased away.  He goes on to say:
"By a not-so-curious coincidence, two meteor showers were under 
way and at their near-peak activity on the night of September 19: 
Aquarids and Southern Piscids."
Pity, no special meteor could reproduce what was observer and 
documented. 
Klass than attempt to explain the signal found in the area for a 
few day.  It is pure speculation.  Had he check if such a unit 
when missing, the tech should of known.
"Mooy told me that there had been some problems with
these emergency locator beacons being ejected during flight if an 
airplane encountered severe turbulence, and that turbulence often 
was experienced over the mountains near Tehran."
"Despite the difficulties of obtaining first-hand information from 
IIAF officials on the prize-winning "UFO" incident, it is possible to 
come up with prosaic explanations for the incident and to conclude 
that the bright starlike object, as it was described by Brigadier 
General Yousefi, was a celestial object, perhaps the bright planet 
Jupiter. Certainly the second flight crew's description sounds 
like many other UFO reports, where the object proved to be a 
bright celestial body, and this would explain the F-4's inability 
to "close" on the object."
The attempt by Klass does not even come close.  He fails to 
address the actual report which he stated (and I quoted early) is 
more reliably than the newspaper articles.  There were a great 
deal more observed phenomena (flashing lights, 4 objects in all) 
seen that night.  The primary craft (which he claimed was Jupiter) 
moved away very quickly at the end of the encounter (information 
obtained from actual statement from General Yousefi and other eye 
witness accounts).  This explanation is completely unsatisfactory.  
Klass himself express this clearly below:
