Iran Downs Strange Bright Craft Over Persian Gulf

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) targeted and downed an unidentified shining object after sighting it over Persian Gulf waters.

"Glowing objects were sighted over the Persian Gulf. IRGC air defense targeted one of the objects successfully, forcing it to plummet and sink in the seas off Bushehr (Province)," said top regional commander Brig. Ali Razmjou.

He said that when the radar indicated that the objects were not Iranian aircraft, the IRGC fired at them.

He added that the fallen objects' remains have not yet been found.

The exact time and location of the sighting and downing of the objects have not been announced.
