Nuclear Explosion In Iran ?

Report: Nuclear Explosion in Iran

A major explosion is being reported in the Iranian desert. It said to be a nuclear explosion. In the general area of one of Iran's nuclear testing sitees.
The alternative theory is that a UFO crashed. That is what one Iranian blogger is reporting, anyway.

Anti-Mullah:
Reports emanating from Iran on Wednesday indicate a huge explosion - reportedly NUCLEAR - from the Kerman area at the edge of the Kavir Lut (major desert).
I waited to get confirmation of the event that was felt a 100 kilometers away but apart from on the ground phone reports, the local Islamic Iranian news media reported that an UFO had crashed and blown up to explain the incident.
The explosion took place at what would be the Islamic Regime's testing ground for an atomic weapon.Since even North Korea tested its nuke underground, I'm guessing that the even the Iranians aren't stupid enough for an above ground test.
Which leaves the UFO theory. Kerman: Iran's Roswell. Now excuse me while I go feed my pet sasquatch.
But GM seems to think that the explosion might have been a detonator test. My guess is that this is just rumor compounded by fear.
UPDATE: Our resident Iran expert, GM, clarifies two points. One, Anti-Mullah is an American. Two, SMCCDI (Daneshjoo to you oldtimers) reported this yesterday.
A huge mysterious explosion rocked Iran's main south central region in the early morning of today.
The mysterious explosion is believed to have happened in the mountains located at about 100 KM of the city of Kerman.

So far no official explanation has been given despite the fact that the shake impact of the explosion was felt in a big part of the region. But since the sources seem to be the same--mainly, phone calls and e-mails from friends and relatives in Iran, I'm still sticking with the UFO theory. Ledeen, at The Corner, thinks the Ethiopians are behind it.
