Ever since Alexander the Great in 329 BC saw ‘two silver shields’ in the
sky, the human race has been fascinated with the idea of alien spaceships.
The metallic saucer is perhaps the most enduring form these craft are
supposed to assume. But it’s clearly not the only. We would like to
introduce you to a design we happened upon while learning about alien
architecture during a conversation we had with GORT. Twiki was there too.
Basically this X-UFO (from SilverLit) is a lightweight but extremely
durable craft (built of carbon fiber and EPP foam) with four independently
controlled motors that allow you to fly and hover in all three
dimensions*. The four blinking LEDs assist you with orienting your X-UFO.
They will also indicate when your electronic gyro is at the optimum speed
for maneuvering and, once you get the hang of it, they will also allow you
to fly completely in the dark so you can startle friends, loved ones and
pets. Incorporating the latest in miniature technology, amazing precision,
and advanced materials, your X-UFO is going to consistently remind you
that dreams are worth believing in again.
