Flying Saucers from Earth

While it's fun to imagine that UFOs are sweeping in to draw shapes in our crops and abduct random humans for testing, it's also interesting to note that all of the saucer-shaped vehicles we have evidence for were built right here on terra firma (and usually by the USAF). That spacey-looking thing up there is the LocomoSky Thermoplan, the love child of a blimp and hot air balloon. The gallery on Dvice is loaded with info and pictures of similarly UFOish designs. Link
