I am wondering if all the surveillance equipment is off now or is the CIA still monitoring Iran?

Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinal drone

It looks like a UFO.  According to Iran they stole the spy plane out of the sky.  With the look of the wheels on this one it had some capacity, huh?  It is white to hide it in the sky.  Looking from underneath it would blend with the clouds, etc.   So, Iran wants the world to believe they have found a way to invade the radio waves of the USA drone program.  Well, then why isn't the darn thing flying?

It damage.  Its fairly obvious it crashed which speaks to its continued operation and component integrity.  The wheels are probably off it or sincerely damaged that it would look like it sincerely crashed. 

I hope the USA got the information it was looking for before it went down.  I like the skulls in the blue field.  Really professional.

The urgency of the effort has been underscored by a recent public debate in Israel about whether time is running out for a military strike to slow Iran's progress toward a nuclear weapon.

In a recent speech, President Obama's National Security Adviser, Tom Donilon, hinted at secret efforts by the United States to keep watch on Iran's nuclear programme.
“We will continue to be vigilant,” Mr. Donilon said last month at the Brookings Institution. “We will work aggressively to detect any new nuclear-related efforts by Iran. We will expose them and force Iran to place them under international inspections.”...

Aye, shit happens.  War is hell.
