TEHRAN, April 15 (AFP) - Inhabitants of several towns in northern Iran have reported a string of sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) moving at low altitudes and emitting different colours, the state news agency IRNA reported Thursday. A resident of the northwestern city of Tabriz, Saina Haghkish, was quoted as saying she saw one object flashing red, green and blue moving slowly from the east to west late on Wednesday.

Identical sightings were also reported on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday over the northeastern town of Ghonbad-Kavous, situated on the opposite southeastern edge of the Caspian Sea.

But astronomy professor Ajab Shirizadeh told IRNA that while the presence over the Islamic republic of extra-planetary craft could not be ruled out, the sightings could also be attributed to spy or communications satellites.

These UFO's can be positively identified as giant cans of whup-ass enroute to Fallujah.

In a related story, several alarmed fishermen living in remote locations on the Iranian coast reported sightings of large floating metal objects in the Persian Gulf.

If ETs are interested in checking out exotic, bizarre, terrestrial life-forms, they've come to the right place. Anyone of those mullahs would make a great specimen for them.

Could she tell from the markings if they were from the Texas or Arizona squadron?

Those are called "airplanes". The red light is on the left (port) wing, the green on the right (starboard) and the blue (white) are landing lights. Someone once said that sufficently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic. Given their 7th century mentality perhap this is the explanation. ;-)

If it was us why would we be flashing colored lights?
