We've built a flying saucer, boasts Iran (even if it does look like it belongs in a 1950s B-movie)

It's not clear how far or how high it can fly – or even how big it is and what makes it take off. But an aircraft created by scientists in Iran is, they claim, the world’s first flying saucer. Called the Zohal - or Saturn in English - it said the unmanned spaceship is designed for 'aerial imaging' but added it can be used for 'various missions'.

The hardline Fars news agency illustrated its story with a photo of a flying saucer, akin to one appearing in a 1950s Hollywood B-movie, hovering over an unidentified wooded landscape. The reports gave no indication of the spaceship’s size. But they indicated it was small by claiming, somewhat bizarrely, that it can also fly indoors. 'Easy transportation and launch and flying, making less noise, are some of the advantages of the device,' said ISNA, Iran’s students’ news agency

No such thing as Paranoia........they really are out to get you!
When you make peace with that, it’s all clear sailing from there on out.
Is it a live show in Tijuana yet?
So you took a picture of the flying saucer and then added the squirrel?
It’s the Mother Ship! It’s the Mother Ship!
paging David Vincent! David Vincent!
Awesome!
Not exactly, I took a picture of the squirrel in Iran. HA!
I imagine he was there, covertly, to squirrel out (can’t use ferret) the saucer.
He came back empty pawed.
On display at a Langley Airforce airshow several years ago.
The squirrel was a good choice though...I hear they like to squirrel away shiny objects into their nests.
Okay, I’m at the border of the pale, don’t want to go way beyond.
They look like small ekranoplanes—ground effect aircraft. Basically they “fly” a few feet off the water. The Soviets built a couple of huge ones in the 1970s for use as military transports along the Black Sea. They could actually fly at close to 300 knots under good conditions—ironically, about the sea-level speed of a P-51. :)

Nuts.
That's gotta be one big nest...
For great glory
It’s all yours.
“It’s all yours.”
BTW, I have a little note by my camera on my laptop that reminds me to take my foil cap off prior to Skyping.
I always suspected squirrels were secret alien observers. Finally photographic proof. Why is the MSM not covering this? Why???
