I would keep away from the N.Y. and Pittsburgh, Seems terrorist are on the loose and could hit those places. If that happened the Israelis would not even blink, They would hit Iran right away knowing most Americans would cheer them on at that point.

My Uncle used to work in the RAF as a air traffic controller but volunteered for a European Drone initative and told me of how the drones would self destruct partially when being damged severely.. this was back in 2001 i'm sure it's been fully mastered now

But, would a spy drone, be all glowing and bright? surely that kind of defeats the object of it being hidden?

Typical, 3 UFO's (assuming they are) come along probobally on a peace mission and Iran instantly shoots one of them down.

We best be in hopes now more than ever it IS a UFO.
Cause if it's stamped 'made in the USA' we're in some big trouble.
Big trouble.

[10.3] ISRAELI MBD HARPY / SILVER ARROW TACTICAL UAVS *
The MBD missile division of IAI sells another UAV, the "Harpy", which is an antiradar loitering attack drone. It patrols over a battlefield, waiting for somebody to turn on a radar, and then dives into it, destroying it with a blast-fragmentation warhead. The Harpy is a delta-winged machine with finlets on the wingtips. It weighs 135 kilograms (300 pounds), and is 2.7 meters (8 feet 10 inches) long with a span of 2.1 meters (6 feet 10 inches). It is powered by a UAV Engines Limited (UEL) AR731 rotary engine, with 28 kW (37 HP), driving a pusher propeller. Maximum speed is roughly 185 KPH (115 MPH / 100 knots), and endurance is about six hours. Although the Harpy is clearly different in appearance to the Boeing BRAVE 200, the two UAVs are conceptually similar in many ways, and the Harpy has a similar launch scheme. 18 Harpies are carried by a truck, with each UAV in its own sealed container. Three trucks make up a battery, which also includes a mission control center.
A Harpy can be fueled, programmed, and tested inside its container, which is then opened for launch by RATO booster. After launch, the UAV makes its way to its patrol area, following navigational waypoints provided by the command center, and then flies circuits, waiting for a radar to turn on. On finding a radar, it dives into it almost vertically, detonating before impact to ensure maximum damage to the radar site. If the radar is turned off and the Harpy loses target lock, the UAV returns to its patrol. If no radar is spotted by the time the Harpy is running low on fuel, the UAV will self-destruct.

Interesting little site that states.
The Iranian government has announced that it has ordered its air force to attack UFOs which are being seen near Iranian nuclear facilities in substantial numbers. Air Force Colonel Salman Mahini has said "all anti-aircraft units and jet fighters have been ordered to shoot down the flying objects over Iran's airspace."
This was as of Sept 5th 2008

Thank you.
This was my thoughts too. UFOs have been disarming nukes everywhere. This is the one area where free-will will not be heeded because setting off nukes has repercussions radiating out in space to other planets.
Will not be allowed.
But this may show that Iran has been gearing up to make a move and are tired of ET getting in the way.

What was that the Israelis are going to hit New York again and now Pittsburgh?
I really hope some one at the FBI still works for America and tracks these statements!
Why is it every Israeli disninfo agent on ATS keeps using every opportunity to 'warn' us all here in the U.S.A.?
Seems to me that if it were 'terrorists' and it's Israel that keeps threatening to attack Iran, that they would target say Tel Aviv and not Pittsburgh.
Oh but that wouldn't do any good now at getting America to fight another war for Israel would it?
Oh well maybe the Israelis will have better luck attacking the U.S. than this plane had in attacking Iran?
It will be interesting to see if the Iranians can recover and I.D. this craft.
