Iran builds flying saucer
Baku, March 19 (AZERTAC). Iran says that it has boldly gone where no Western power has gone before and built a flying saucer.
We investigated previous claims by Iran to build a flying saucer and it turned out that it had actually built an Open Saucer which was something a bit different.
In this case Iran has claimed to have built the Zohal, which means Saturn. Iran claims its flying saucer is an unmanned "spaceship» and designed for `aerial imaging`.
According to the Daily Mail, Iran is not saying how far or how high it can fly, how big it is and what makes it take off. In fact it is fairly typical of a flying saucer yarn in that there is a lot of unsubstantiated stuff spouted by totally incredible people who no one ever believes.
In this case it is the Iranian hard-line Fars news agency which reported the yarn with a snap of a flying saucer which looked like one of those poorly faked shots that turn out to be pizza plates.
However, president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is using his flying saucer to show his country`s ability to push on with its science program despite international sanctions.
