Here's the thing, do we have any evidence that UFOs are a thing in either the FSU or China or Iran? I feel like being more closed as societies means instead of assuming the government is lying about UFOs its much more plausible to assume the government is lying about new military technology or secret police actions.

Absolutely. I am a general skeptic on extraterrestrials (mainly because of physics and biology), but some of the most intriguing UFO encounters are similar reports from US and Soviet nuclear missile officers that UFOs appeared over their missile sites and intefered with the electronics in their missile systems.

Reference data for a paper compiling US Air Force personnel testimony: https://inis.iaea.org/search/search.aspx?orig_q=RN:46130842

Soviet encounter summary: https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12318039.alien-encounter-sparked-soviet-missile-crisis/

Soviet equivalent to US Air Force project to study UFO phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_22

Doesn't mean anything on its own, but if similar things happen in the future I think it's worth beginning to consider whether something comprehensible is happening (some kind of entity/ies trying to interfere or intervene in matters of species or biosphere survival).
