An Unidentified Flying Object crashed in Barez Mounts in the central province of Kerman Wednesday morning.
Deputy Governor General of Kerman province Abulghassem Nasrollahi told FNA that the crash which was followed by an explosion and a thick spiral of smoke has caused no casualties or damage to properties.
He further denied earlier reports that the explosion has been the result of a plane or chopper crash, reminding that all the passing aircrafts have been reported as sound and safe.
The official further stated that investigations are underway by police and other relevant authorities in this regard.
While other reports spoke of meteors, Nasrollahi said there were no conclusive witnesses in this regard but he did not dismiss the possibility that the crash has been caused by a meteor.
Eye-witnesses assure that the explosion has been caused as a result of the crash of a radiant unidentified flying object onto the ground.
Meantime, an informed source told FNA that the object has been on fire and there has been thick smoke coming out of it prior to the crash, concluding that the object couldn't have been a meteor as meteors do not smoke.
The source also said that the crash has been witnessed by people in several cities, and mentioned that the rendezvous point is located 100 kilometers from the provincial capital city of Kerman.
He said that people in the city of Rafsanjan also reported to have witnessed a similar incident several days ago.
Similar crash incidents have been witnessed frequently during the last year all across Iran, and officials believe that the objects could be spy planes or a hi-tech espionage device.
'couldn't have been a meteor as meteors do not smoke.'
Duh, Dems passed several laws years ago to make it illegal for meteors to smoke.
For the children, ya know.
I'll bet it's the Mahdi's UFO, coming to pick up all of the mail folks have been dropping in the well.

President Ahmadinejad-
We have some good news and some bad news.
The 12th Imam has arrived!
Unfortunately, it was a very hard landing and ...
Oh now they will open their Area 51.
Missle test gone bad...
Maybe the Raptors are getting an early start.
Great post...LOL.
Wonder how many virgins were on board?
... meanwhile, someone at Lockheed Martin is processing an Israeli order for a replacement UAV.
LOL.... the UFO just happened to crash into a factory manufacturing baby milk....
Even aliens are opposed to Iran.
Put your women and children under the bed, all your imams belong to us.
A drone, perhaps, monitoring Iranian nuke efforts.
They appear to have their Roswell in place. Area 51 is the logical next step. Not-so-well-groomed-lake.
They get a reduction in their insurance costs that way.
That doesn't mean it's a flying saucer full of space aliens; it just means you don't know what it is.
"early start"
