News of the UFO study comes as skywatching mania strikes Iran.

This week, the Associated Press reported Tehran's air force was ordered to shoot down any unknown or suspicious flying objects in its airspace amid state-media reports of sightings of flying objects near Iran's nuclear installations.

"Flights of unknown objects in the country's airspace have increased in recent weeks... [they] have been seen over Bushehr and Isfahan provinces," the Resalat daily reported. Nuclear facilities are located in both provinces.

"We have arranged plans to defend nuclear facilities from any threat," air force General Karim Ghavami told the paper. "Iran's air force is watchful and prepared to carry out its responsibilities."

Resalat also reported "shining objects" in the sky near Natanz, where Iran's uranium-enrichment plant is situated. One of those objects is said to have exploded, prompting "panic in the region."

Second, your posts serve as enough evidence for all to read, that you are truly stupid and childish.

Lastly, who are you to continually criticize others, under the assumption that they will sit on the sidelines and watch the carnage?

I am a veteran, AND in the Army Reserve. James is a veteran. You have no idea that McGehee is not a veteran. Since you have not made the claim, and through your continuing disrepect, I'll wager you ARE NOT a veteran. (Oh, but you have a friend who says....) Whatever.

Quit being such a whiney bitch.

Guys like Mcghee seem to think wars are vidio games fought by some kind of magic, not by men who go out and get killed and maimed, even American troops with superior equipment.

Well when the "baloon goes up" you can bet ol' Mc will pick up his pom pom's and cheer while other men are off doing the dying.

Really L, are you as stupid as you sound?

I happen to know a few things about Integrated Air Defense Systems and how they work. You DO need to know about radars because we don't know what "signatures" their actual tracking and target engagement radars will use in their "war reserve" mode. If you want to kill air defense radars you need to know as much as you can about their radar waveforms, pulse repetition frequencies, etc., so you have an exact target signature to attack and not waste your expensive HARM missiles on decoys, of which there will be plenty. Military air defense radars never put our their war reserve frequencies or PRFs except for the real thing, so the trick is to get them to turn on their radars, thinking there's a real threat out there, and then capturing the signature for your own use. This is an art form of its own. We used to fly ferret missions around the USSR just to pick up those little nuggest about Soviet air defense radars, and it was not without risk as we lost more than a few planes to them when we pushed our luck.

SO IT APPEARS THAT WE ARE INVOLVED IN LOW-LEVEL SABOTAGE ON THE GROUND AND SOPHITICATED RECONNAISSANCE / LIMITED STRIKE...
