Re: UFO designs
Well, as UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Objects. Of course, it would be identified if somebody knew the design.
Not sure what the connection is between UFOs and aliens? Are Mexicans setting off Chinese lanterns, or maybe the boat people are setting them off in the Timor Sea.
If you want to buy a UFO, try Ebay

Frogen has been hang-gliding again .... now here in the UK.
Jet in 'near miss' with UFO
An airline pilot reports a close encounter with a UFO near Heathrow Airport which has baffled the aviation authorities
The incident occurred while the A320 Airbus was cruising at 34,000ft, around 20 miles west of the airport, over the Berkshire countryside

It was certainly a close encounter, but with precisely what remains a mystery.
An airline pilot has reported a near miss in which a “rugby ball”-shaped UFO passed within a few feet of his passenger jet while flying near Heathrow Airport.
The captain told the aviation authorities who have investigated the incident that he was certain the object was going to crash into his aircraft and ducked as it headed towards him.
The investigation has been unable to establish any earthly identity for the mysterious craft, which left the aircrew with no time to take evasive action.
The incident occurred while the A320 Airbus was cruising at 34,000ft, around 20 miles west of the airport, over the Berkshire countryside.
The captain spotted the object travelling towards the jet out of a left hand side, cockpit window, apparently heading directly for it.
A report into the incident states: “He was under the apprehension that they were on collision course with no time to react. His immediate reaction was to duck to the right and reach over to alert the FO (First Officer); there was no time to talk to alert him.”
It adds: “The Captain was fully expecting to experience some kind of impact with a conflicting aircraft.”
He told investigators he believes the object passes “within a few feet” above the jet.
He described it as being “cigar/rugby ball like” in shape, bright silver and apparently “metallic” in construction.
Once he had composed himself, he checked the aircraft’s instruments and contacted air traffic controllers to report the incident. However, there was no sign of the mystery craft.
The incident was investigated by the UK Airprox Board, which studies “near misses” involving aircraft in British airspace.
It checked data recordings to establish what other aircraft were in the area at the time, but eliminated them all from its quest to find out what had been responsible. It also ruled out meteorological balloons, after checking none were released in the vicinity. Toy balloons were also discounted, as they are not large enough to reach such heights. Military radar operators were also contacted but were unable to trace the reported object.
The sighting occurred in daylight, at around. 6.35pm on July 13. It has only emerged now, following publication of the report, which concluded it was “not possible to trace the object or determine the likely cause of the sighting”.
The report does not name the airline or flight involved. Even though it describes the aircraft as being "just to the west of Heathrow", aviation experts believe that at such an altitude it would be unlikely to have taken off from, or be preparing to land at, the west London airport.
Instead, the A320, which is popular with many carriers, among them British Airways and Virgin, is likely to have been travelling between a regional airport elsewhere in the UK, and another on the Continent. The aircraft typically carry about 150 passengers.
The Ministry of Defence closed its UFO desk in December 2009, along with its hotline for reporting such sightings. Following that change, the Civil Aviation Authority took the decision that it would continue to look into such reports, from aircrew and air traffic controllers, because they could have implications for “flight safety”.
In 2012, the head of the National Air Traffic Control Services admitted staff detected around one unexplained flying object every month.
Dr David Clarke, a Sheffield Hallam academic and the UFO consultant for the National Archives, said: “The aviation authorities obviously think this is something they should continue to look into and if you are a regular air traveller, you are likely to agree.”
Dr Clarke, a sceptic on UFO issues, said: “This latest sighting is interesting, because it is detailed and clear. These pilots don’t file these reports for something and nothing. There was obviously something there.”
Chris Yates, an aviation consultant, said: “Although we assume when these things happen, a UFO is responsible, there is usually an explanation that materialises at some point.”

Re: UFO designs
What's more likely...
1. Aliens are going through the expense of traveling interstellar distances to come to Earth for the sole purpose of trolling airline pilots and sodomizing rednecks.
2. Sometimes people hallucinate.

Re: UFO designs
Bellator-class Star Battlecruiser. EU fan-made design for Star Wars, here's high-res shots of the full model. If you think the Bellator is badass, check out the Assertor-class Imperial Star Dreadnought Wrath on the same site. I know the guy that did the modeling for those ships, he's already gotten offers from Disney to come work on possible upcoming Star Wars films. He was also the lead designer for the UNSC Infinity from the video game Halo 4. Nice guy and one hell of a digital artist.Super Nova wrote:
Oh, little note on scale. Based on the canon length of an Imperial Star Destroyer (That big grey triangle looking ship you see at the beginning of A New Hope) being 1600m in length, the Bellator-class comes in around 7200m. The Assertor-class Star Dreadnoughts come in at 15km, but it's also meant to be the flagship on a full Imperial Sector Battlefleet.
