UFO'S Signed Over Iran

Residents of Northern Iran have reported a string of Unidentified Flying Objects moving at low altitudes and emitting different colors, the state news agency reported.

A resident of the northwest city of Tabriz, Saina Haghkish, was quoted she saw the object flashing red, green and blue moving slowly from east to west late yesterday.

Identical sightings were also reported Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday over the northeastern town of Ghonbad-Kavous, situated on the opposite edge of the Caspian Sea.

Astronomy professor Ajab Shirizadeh told the state news agency, IRNA that while the presence over the Islamic republic of extra planetary life could not be ruled out, the sigtings could also be attributed to spy or communications satellites.

BIRD OF PREY

Named after the Klingon Bird of Prey from Star Trek, this fighter or tactical bomber prototype was just unveiled on October 18, 2002. Built at Boeing's Phantom Works as a proof of concept, this craft is thought to be able to attain speeds of 300 mph. It was first flown in 1996 and uses new technologies that enable it to fly stealthy even during daylight.

It doesn't "land" as a conventional aircraft would. Instead it flies into and is captured by a large net.

Yikes, you're correct. I'm thinking of the Naval drones the battleships use.

That's funny. I asked a humorous question and received what I thought was an hilarious answer. LOL!

We have a UAV 'facility' down the road from where I live.

Nope lands on a conventional runway. It has very long landing gear to allow rotation.

Pic shows the B model (different tail arrangement) but the landing gear is the same on both models
