* UFO Crash in Central Iran *

* TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- 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.
