\"UFOs?

UFOs? Spy balloons?<\/p><\/div>\n

Turkish residents refused to be disappointed from their conspiracy theories on Thursday, after their wonder at an alleged UFO they spotted in the skies quickly morphed into anti-Israel hostility when they claimed the Israeli tourist balloon they found was a “spy balloon.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The close encounter of the third kind took place in Turkey’s central Malatya province, reports the Turkish Hurriyet Daily News on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Locals saw what they believed to be a UFO floating in the air, and one resident named Ersin Evren even filmed its slow descent, sure he was about to see spacemen step out onto Turkish soil.<\/span><\/p>\n

They were disappointed to find that the object, which fell into the garden of a home in Malatya’s Hekimhan district, was a white-and-blue balloon with the tourist phrase “Welcome to Israel” written on it in English, reports Cihan News Agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it didn’t stop there – locals complained Israel was likely using the air-filled plastic to “spy” on them, leading gendarmerie forces to seize the suspicious artifact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Israeli spies would choose to use a balloon floating in random directions with an eye-catching design as opposed to an advanced drone apparently was a question that never crossed their minds.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is anticipated the balloon may have come from a nearby vacation town that Israeli tourists sometimes frequent.<\/span><\/p>\n

As far out as the “spy balloon” claim is, it is actually not the most outlandish claim made against Israel’s Mossad spy agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those claims have included “spy ducks” in Egypt, a “spy vulture” in Saudi Arabia, a “spy bird” in Turkey, and a “spy eagle” in Sudan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel has also been accused of unleashing attack sharks in Egypt, in addition to Palestinian Authority (PA) claims of attack boars and anti-Arab rats.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Iran likely takes the cake for the most outrageous claim, after back in 2007 it arrested 14 squirrels it claimed were foreign spies.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In recent weeks, intelligence operatives have arrested 14 squirrels within Iran’s borders,” the state-run IRNA claimed at the time. “The squirrels were carrying spy gear of foreign agencies, and were stopped before they could act, thanks to the alertness of our intelligence services.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Iranian police commander Esmaeil Ahmadi-Moqadam confirmed the incredible report.<\/span><\/p>\n
