We've built a flying saucer, boasts Iran (even if it does look like it belongs in a 1950s B-movie)

It's not clear how far or how high it can fly – or even how big it is and what makes it take off. But an aircraft created by scientists in Iran is, they claim, the world’s first flying saucer. 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 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. 'Easy transportation and launch and flying, making less noise, are some of the advantages of the device,' said ISNA, Iran’s students’ news agency

Who do you think tells them what to report and when????
That looks like it was taken on one of their better days.

A few loose shells into the cooling intakes of the saucer.....and it’s theirs.
ROFL! That's really funny! LOL!
“Secret Squirrel
ROFL! That’s really funny! LOL!”
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.
Ain’t silliness wonderful? ;0)
Silliness??????????
I’m insulted.......I was being serious!
PS: (We need a little silliness to stay sane in this day and age...)
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.
AHA! Yes. I agree completely. (I’m often a little slow on the uptake.)
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)
Ok...that was leg pulling.
