An Argentinian photojournalist claims to have observed and photographed several "unidentified flying objects" on Saturday above the city of Rosario, in the province of Santa Fé, 340 kilometers north of Buenos Aires.
Mr. José Granato, of the Rosario newspaper "La Capital", told the office of a local news agency that he had seen tapered objects in the center of the city at 7:15 p.m. local time (10:15 p.m. GMT). The "U.F.O." were emitting a blinding green light and moving at high speed towards the airport, he said.
The reporter stated that he had taken several shots whose enlargements revealed, according to him, three "U.F.Os." in a triangular formation.
The appearances of unidentified flying objects are increasing in the skies of Iran, and sometimes prompt the army to use its anti-aircraft defenses, according to two Sunday newspapers in Tehran.
In Tabriz, Azerbaijan, the air force fired on a luminous object on Friday evening, which immediately disappeared, reports the daily "Keyhan".
According to "Bambad", another Tehran daily, a U.F.O. resembling a rainbow was seen for forty-five minutes Friday night in Hyderabad, also in Azerbaijan. The object rotated around itself before disappearing, adds "Bambad", which quotes the military commander of the region.
