UFO exploded in mid air – showering a small Vietnamese island with metal-like debris.

The unidentified flying object is NOT believed to be a plane as none have been reported missing in the area.

Investigators are working on the theory the explosion happened five miles above the ground.

A search of Phu Quoc island off southern Vietnam uncovered shards of grey “metal” up to four feet long.

Unexplained explosion ... map showing island

Soldiers combed the area for clues yesterday as airlines in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand insisted none of their aircraft were missing in the area.

Villagers in the nearby Cambodian province of Kampot said on Tuesday that they had heard a loud explosion.

A day later they found chunks of material near the coastline.

After the explosion Kung Mony, of Cambodia’s Air Force, claimed it could have been a foreign plane but he later backed down from the theory. One explanation could be that the plane was a military one – but none of the nearby countries has admitted to losing any aircraft.

"I could tell you what it is but I’d rather not be subject to an anal probe."

Happened to me once, but being a person who always tried to make the very best of a bad situation, I talked them into warming the probe. So, if it ever happens to you and you learn that the probe is warm, you can thank me.

You gotta admit though, that's some damn fine spot welding that went onto this metal ( photo post 18).

That’s the chassis of a Chevy Silverado.

Only in Vietnam that a flying pick up truck could be confused as a UFO.

Or by Spacebus, using the same whoops-it-fell-off tail technology as its French corporate sibling, Airbus.

It is weird. If those spot welds dotting the frame secured the outer skin of whatever it was, its pretty advanced aero-tech.( photo post 18).

This is just a ploy to get a jump in the Vietnamese tourism industry. (Shouldn’t the guy holding the debris in the picture be screaming “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the RADIATION is BURNING my HANDS!” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

That advanced alien technology looks like...riveted metal.

We must close the alien rivet gap.

It’s got bolts. Not sure that a UFO would have bolts.

The title indicates that it’s metal-like, while the article puts metal in quotation marks. Is it really confirmed that it’s not metal?

Built by aliens on a planet where they are willing to take these sorts of manufacturing jobs.

Just doing the jobs that aliens on their planet are not willing to take.

The anal probes? Nope, that work stays in-planet. Too much proprietary probe tech to keep close to the envirosuit with ALL SIX TENTACLES BABY!

Day-um! That’s a piece of the rack off my ‘78 Ford pickup. How’d ‘Ol’ Blue’ get into the air over Phu Quoc?

Well, Gee Whiz! Yer always tellin' us that since you put in them there fancy-schmancy Splitfahr sparkplugs in that truck'll fly!

Where there are bolts you are sure to find nuts nearby...

...so they can build a craft that can travel the distances of space only to have it blow up in the earth’s atmosphere?

100,000 parsec warranty ran out...

Not enough info to tell. It looks like stressed metal, but what kind? Is it aluminum? We just don't know.This happened over the Western most frontier of Vietnam, an island off the coast of Cambodia, so maybe the Cambodian military knows more about it.

The way the officer in the photo is holding that frame, it looks pretty light as if it were aluminum or some such.

My theory is that the Cambodians or Viets blasted something out of the air, maybe smugglers or drug runners, and the Vietnamese are letting them know they are onto their intercept work.Or maybe the Vietnamese blew it out of the air and are letting the Cambodians know that they scored the hit and are publicly denying it?

These things can get complex quickly.

I’d tell all of you what that really was, but then I’d have to kill you all.

Are you Thai?

Well, its an interesting way for the Viets to let everyone know they blew a Cambodian plane out of the air, maybe smugglers or drug runners.

Apparently their SAMs work as well now as they did in the 1970s.

That is WAY too much information...

Be careful, if the aliens are from Californicatia, they may try to marry you. The Supreme Court there has said so.

Call NASA to go pick up their tank. So much for it just “burning up on re-entry”!
