Crashed UFO Garden Statue: Take Me to Your Weeder

Aliens: I want to believe they’re out there. And it’s easy because I’ve had direct contact with them on numerous occasions. But enough about the government refusing to take my calls anymore, this is the Crash Landing Flying Saucer Alien Spacecraft Statue available exclusively from purveyor of questionable home and garden decor Design Toscano. Now, this particular purchase, this is going to be a tricky one to explain to my wife.

Measuring approximately 30″ wide, 19″ deep, and 25″ high, the 49-pound, $450 hand-painted resin statue will look perfect crashed among a group of existing garden gnomes, who, at least in my mind, are now fleeing in terror.

Am I going to buy one and modify it with smoke and light effects for extra realism? My heart is saying yes, and my mind is saying yes, but my wife is shaking her head no. So you know what that means – I’ll have to do it in secret until she catches me! It’s better to ask forgiveness than permission, that’s my motto. Also: ‘That’s cool, I like sleeping on the couch anyways.’

NASA Flying Saucer is Its Latest Experimental Vehicle

NASA has unveiled its latest flying test vehicle called thee Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator project or LDSD. The project has created a vehicle that looks like the flying saucers we normally expect to see in science fiction. NASA completed the vehicle final assembled at the Navy Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii.

NASA plans to test the vehicle in June with a balloon carrying it to 120,000 feet where it will be dropped. The booster engine on the craft will then fire and push it to 180,000 feet and a speed of Mach 4. Once at that altitude, the vehicle will be starting a series of automated tests for two new technologies designed to deliver heavier payloads to Mars.

It’s unclear exactly what those new technologies are. It’s cool to see NASA building something that looks like a flying saucer. It also reminds me more than a little of a kids’ hard plastic swimming pool.
