Last night, I watched the David Lynch flick Blue Velvet for the first time ever. I was shocked so much, that I still don’t think I’m over it. The doctor tells me I should do something “fun and stimulating.” So, taking his advice, I dropped $10 on this UFO flying disc from ThinkGeek. It glows in the dark and transforms while in flight to become a UFO. At this point, I’ll take a space alien over Frank and his nitrous tank.
“Don’t you fucking look at me!”
The AFP is reporting that a Chinese company has built a real flying saucer. Right out of Mars Attacks!, the UFO looks like an egg but is so much more. It can be driven remotely without the need for a pilot or anyone on board and can go about 50 MPH. To boot, it can hover an an altitude of 1000 meters, which is pretty high. Sounds Hollywood-ish but I’m not about to start screwing around with aliens.
Developed by Harbin Smart Special Aerocraft Co Ltd, the UFO took 12 years and $4.1 million before a working prototype came out. The company says the aircraft will be used for aerial photography, geological surveys and scaring the shit out of families everywhere.
A video recently popped up on YouTube of an alleged Alien Autopsy. While on must subjects I remain the intellectual skeptic, extraterrestrial life is one subject in which I’ll grab on to any shred of somewhat realistic documentation, just to believe that we are not alone.
Of course, I have no proof on the validity of this video, and it’s almost certainly fake, since it hasn’t been removed from YouTube yet, but it’s a very well done fabrication at the very least. Those who are Michael Jackson fans might want to turn away, the resemblance is eerie. Oh, Michael, it’s too easy. If you can stomach this sort of thing, check out the more gruesome pics after the jump. (more…)
The UFOs are coming! Look out! Oh, wait, it’s just your lamp. So, doesn’t this source of light look awsome? In case you are wondering how it works, first let’s say that there is no light bulb or LED set being used here. Instead of these tradtional light sources, if LED is traditional now, the UFO Neues Licht uses fiber optics stretching out to the corners of the disc to light your room. The disk has a total diameter of 59cm and a height (without the extending link to the ceiling) of about 20cm. One thing that is so cool about fiber optics is the way that you can change the color of the light so easily. Look after the jump for a pic of some green light. Quick! Ready to get hifalutin?
Simplicity from another planet. Full of longing, the Ufo stands above all else. The flat base floats, while the glass fibres focus at the centre of the Ufo like an energy beam, engulfing the surrounding space in mystical light. The light emanating from the Ufo radiates, marking the boundaries of the illuminated area and emphasising the depth of the surrounding space.
