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.

you’re missing out on some highly amusing stuff.
Make sure you “roll over” the cow on the top of the front page.

I bet they built it out of cardboard from plans advertised in a 1973 Johnson-Smith catalogue:
“Fool and amaze your friends! REAL flying saucer! Remote control! No batteries! Hovers and darts up in the sky.
Plans Only $1.95!
10 feet of SUPERstrong fishing line included!
(Not sold in Detroit or suburbs)
