On the nights of 2024-04-04 and 2024-04-05, unidentified aerial objects were reported across southwestern Iran's Khuzestan province and observed crossing into Iraqi airspace, including over the northern Iraqi city of Tuz Khurma. Initially feared to be missiles due to the strategic significance of the region, which houses a large missile city with hundreds of missiles, the objects sparked widespread speculation and concern. Social media was abuzz with videos and accounts of these strange, luminous objects seen in various locations including Ahvaz, Behbahan, and Shahrestan. Despite initial fears, closer inspection and multiple reports have suggested that these objects are likely meteorites, aligning with a meteor shower. The phenomena were not only confined to Iran and Iraq, as reports emerged of sightings in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, with Kuwaiti sources also claiming the objects were meteorites. Israeli air defenses were reportedly on alert due to the sightings.
