Both cases describe apparent pursuits of lights in the sky by jet aircraft; in both cases the jets could not get close to the lights, and in the Belgian case the radar returns from the aircraft seem to have been physically impossible, since the target seems to have gone underground at one point.
I note additionally that Bruce Maccabee's investigation is somewhat at odds with the Wiki page on the Tehran incident, as he places Lieutenant Jafari in the first plane to be launched, whereas the Wiki page places him in the second plane. That kind of messes up the sequence of events somewhat, depending on who you believe.
