Abulghassem Nasrollahi, the Deputy General of the Kerman province in
Iran told the news agency that all the aircraft in the area had been
accounted for, but did not rule out the possibility that the object
could be a meteor.

Another source also told the FNA that the object was on fire with thick
smoke coming from it, which identified the object as not being a meteor.
Abulghassem noted that a few days earlier, in Rafsanjan, a similar
incident was reported by witnesses.
