January 11, 2007 Report: Nuclear Explosion in Iran A major explosion is being reported in the Iranian desert. It said to be a nuclear explosion. In the general area of one of Iran's nuclear testing sitees.
The alternative theory is that a UFO crashed. That is what one Iranian blogger is reporting, anyway. Anti-Mullah:
Reports emanating from Iran on Wednesday indicate a huge explosion - reportedly NUCLEAR - from the Kerman area at the edge of the Kavir Lut (major desert).
I waited to get confirmation of the event that was felt a 100 kilometers away but apart from on the ground phone reports, the local Islamic Iranian news media reported that an UFO had crashed and blown up to explain the incident.
The explosion took place at what would be the Islamic Regime's testing ground for an atomic weapon.
Since even North Korea tested its nuke underground, I'm guessing that the even the Iranians aren't stupid enough for an above ground test.
Which leaves the UFO theory. Kerman: Iran's Roswell. Now excuse me while I go feed my pet sasquatch.
But GM seems to think that the explosion might have been a detonator test. My guess is that this is just rumor compounded by fear.

There were several reports earlier about explosions near the southern border to get rid of land mines from the 88 war.
I wonder if this is what he is speaking of.
HUGH if for real...
Maybe they'll turn themselves into glass.
If not, scramble our B-2s and load them up with nukes.
Or Israeli and/or US warning shot?
Something goes BOOM and a weird cover story emerges... An accident? An airstrike?
Is that you Dale Gribble? :)
Strange indeed.
If it was a nuke, it'll be pretty hard to conceal it. If it was a UFO, Achmedinijad missed his ride...
Nuclear explosion or UFO. Now that is an interesting choice.
F***! Something has to be done, and it has to be done NOW!! I doubt the Quoran permits alien probes.....ooor does it?
Maybe it was an Israeli nuke?
Excuse me if I'm skeptical of a report which, as an alternative theory, speculates that a UFO crash may have occured.
Heard about this a day or 2 ago.
The explosion was supposedly heard about 20 miles away I think.
There was a thread about the exploding RUFO yesterday. Is this the same site where Iran tested a nuke in 1996?
Would this show on one of the earthquake sites?
They should get rid of them the same way that they did then. Just run the kids over them.

Rusty Shackleford is an alias used by Dale Gribble on King of the Hill. Which is either an unfortuante coincidence for a doctor or this artical is satire..
