The conspiracy theorist I am, I'd say those are not UFOs. My chance is that these things people are seeing are secret spy-planes. But will people accept if the US invades Iran? Any thoughts?

The US invading Iran as it did Iraq, what would the search be for this time. Democracy can not be imposed it has to be achieved.

As far as the UFOs I do not believe in such things so they could be spy planes.

Spy planes or bright day, tickling phantasy of bored Persians.

"The people who have seen these things are not experts - farmers, villagers and pilots," he added.

This sentence was the best on whole article. So, there are experts for objects made by extraterrestial intelligent beings? I would say anyone can proclaim himself an expert, when he sees something for first time, but never someone, who have no experience with it. Well, either is Mr Nasiri-Qeydari a MiB agent or he should limit his pride  ;D

I wonder why they call it "Unidentifyed Flying Objects", I mean, after all this time "UFO" sounds somewhat retarded. Why not just "unidentified aero-unit" lol...

[Digital Guerrilla]

??? "UAU" does not sound as catchy as "UFO" also farmers and villagers would never say aero because they are not experts but that is my uneducated guess.

OT: Iran has always resented foreign interference in their internal affairs plus the invention is really not needed. The people of Iran will overthrow this regime on their own. If the dirty Republicans mind their business this time and let DEMOCRACY takes its course, maybe the Middle East can clean up it's own mess.

From to the window of my room I see a rather messy garden (tough now the owner finally started to care for it). When there's a strong wind, the air is full of unidentified flying objects from there...

It's not too far-fetched to imagine that these were experimental spy vehicles... but UFOs? Bah.

Spy planes, or experimental Iranian craft even.  We get UFO sightings all the time in America that eventually get declassified as being secret military aircraft.
