Tehran (dpa) -- Iran said it has shot down "unidentified shining objects" over the Gulf in southern Iran, the website of the Press TV network reported Tuesday.

The commander of the Revolutionary Guards in the port of Bushehr said after Iranian radar detected three bright objects flying over the Gulf Islands of Khark and Khargou, the guards targeted and shot them down.

General Ali Razmjou did not clarify when the objects were detected and shot down.

The general added that the wreckage of the objects has not yet been found.

The incident was not confirmed by the headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran and there was no follow-up to the story which was initially reported by the official news agency IRNA.

I hope my complaints about the lacking of a street signal due to high level traffic to the North East Brazil area where the exit and entrance to a significant galactic highway near the city of Fortaleza occurs. Surely the installation of a signal light cannot be the blame of bogging up traffic to a point of traffic jambs and congestion all the way into Iranian airspace. Ever since I joined the neighborhood watch program I’ve had nothing but trouble. I refuse to take the blame...

Did Iran cut their hands off before they (shiney objects) could pull the trigger?

This is prgress for the Iranians. It sounds like they shot down some weather baloons. BTW - Nobody can confirm that they actually did shoot them down as the “wreckage” can’t be found.

“We saw something on radar. We shot at it. It was not on radar anymore. We shot them down. People saw shiny things in the sky. The shiny things were what was on our radar. There are no more shiny things and we don’t see them on radar anymore. We don’t know what they were but they are no longer a threat to us.”

Somebody dial up the aircraft carrier we have sitting right there and ask the captain what the Iranians shot down.

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around,
a lousy candle's all I found

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away...

The Shites (Iranians) probably blew it again and shot down Muhammad on his triumphant return to earth.
