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 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.

Who do you think tells them what to report and when????

Have you ever seen the size of a Fox Squirrel in Minnesota? No small nest for this guy.

Secret Squirrel has been sighted at the Secret Squirrel training facility in a secret location, where they take everyday miscreants and train them in the deadly art of conventional weaponry and advanced weaponry. After completion of the secret training at the secret location, they are given their own Secret Squirrel Phone. Unbeknownst to many, they are a highly decorated secret service.

I can’t believe how easy it is to take something about what the Iranians are doing and then take it so far.....I can’t even look back and see the beginning.

Uh, I guess I missed something. I didn't mean to insult you. I thought you were talking about our jokes. I understand your serious point about not being able to see the beginning if that's what you mean? :0)

The Iranians just keep stoking the fires of buffoonery.

Yet, like a spoiled child, eventually you have to spank them.

Not sure, but that wooded area looks a lot like where I live, here in PA.

Seen a lot of A-10’s from time to time, but no flying saucers (or cups for that matter)
