An unidentified object crashed near a Zagreb park overnight

Police in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, have confirmed the discovery of two parachutes near a park where a mysterious object crashed on Thursday night. No injuries on the ground were reported.

The police said they had begun to receive reports about an incident in the Jarun neighborhood, in southwestern Zagreb, from 11pm local time. Citizens had alerted the authorities about an object falling from the air and crashing to the ground.

On arriving at the scene, the police found a 3m-wide (10ft-wide) crater embedded with debris. Two parachutes were discovered during a search of the wider area.

The investigation continues, with the authorities urging the public to submit images relevant to the case. A police statement asks the media not to speculate about what has happened and to wait for official updates.

Closeup images circulating on social media show the crater and the debris. Croatian media outlets have circulated photos of the two parachutes at various stages of recovery.

There is widespread speculation in the country that the incident was caused by a crash of a Tu-141 Strizh unmanned aircraft. A Soviet-designed reconnaissance drone, it was developed in the late 1970s and 1980s, and has a range of 1,000km (620 miles).

Ukraine, the only nation officially operating Tu-141s...

So many red flags... Like the lighting used for the images of the supposed remains - shades of Ukraine blue and gold somewhat superimposed.

According to Wikipedia, the footage was speeded up to make it appear the train was travelling faster ie no time to abort shot on tunnel. Which was the official line.

The parachutes belong to the people that arrived after the fact to recover something.

“collateral damage” when Uncle Sam does these things. War crimes if the U.S hates you.

Why would an unmanned aircraft have parachutes?

When they run out of fuel or exceed telemetry range the drone shuts down and eploys chutes. There should also be a locator beacon, but she went in hard.Maybe one chute did not deploy.Or maybe the chutes are drogue chutes that deployed at the crash impact.

Apparently a stray drone from Ukraine made it to Zagreb and crashed with no injuries fortunately, so no biggie. The parachutes are for landing.

They never said what the debris was or if there were bodies in it. Must have been Russian kamikazes?

It would be prosecuted as a war crime, what we did in Syria, Iraq or Bosnia, we we weren’t a powerful country. Bosnia is the worst, we supported a lie perpetrated by Muslims. Bombing bridges of a decent country is despicable. Targets in Iraq, were bad but we hated them something fierce so it is a-ok. Syria though, that was simply a ginned up BS festival.

It is almost like the US has lost its way..... to be continued.

Serbians risked NAZI death and summary/collective punishment by helping Allied (US) flyers who were shot down in their territory, and that's how we repay them.

And don't forget fomenting revolution, on behalf of radical Muslims, in Syria, Egypt, and Libya. Disgusting.

I didn't want to believe the leftist idea that GW BUsh invaded Iraq because Hussein wanted to assassinate his father, but now, it seems pretty realistic.

You are so right about the flip flopping.

My brother in law was a Croatian. He and his countrymen, or so he said, had a passionate hate-on of Serbians. I never figured out why for about 30 years. With the onset of the internet, and the Bosnian war, I began studying.

Prior to WW 2 the Serbs and Croatians only difference was Serbs were Orthodox and Croatians were RCC. As Hitler began ramping up for war, the two sides got together in Serbian territory with their generals and many troops to form a single army.

The Croatians had schemed with Hitler, turned on the Serbs, and began slaughtering them. The Croatians completely caught the Serbs off guard and many of them were killed, including their leading General. For the rest of the war, the Bosnias were on the run fighting with the Allies, while the Croatians ran with the Nazis and did as many in Ukraine did. Set up concentration camps and killed Americans, British, French and Soviets. I now knew how devious some people and countries can be. IMO, that includes modern day USA.

The point being, under Clinton we turned on THEM, when they were being attacked by the Mooslum SOB’s, and pretended that Serbians were killing people en masse for no reason. We found out that the “mass graves” really weren’t that massive. We also found that those in Kosovo were more prolific in killing civilians, as Muslim terrorist bastards are prone to do.

Flip forward to GW Bush, and we once again flip sides, and search allies against terrorists and Muslims.

Under Obama, we then began partnerships with Islam, and fought against moderates like Assad and Khadaffy.

The only thing predictable is that the US foreign policy is unpredictable.

IMO, if the DS had not went after Trump with a raging hate on, Putin and Russia would now be allies with us in fighting the main enemies, Terrorism and the CCP.

Then again, what sane nation wants to partner up with a country that doesn’t even know what boys and girls are.

“Aliens crash landed due to malfunction of their flying saucer.”

I hate when that happens.
