An Alien Ship ...

... looks like it has landed on someone's roof and is undergoing repairs. I don't believe the ET's are too friendly, though ... note the KEEP OUT sign.

Well taken shot, put it in a newspaper and people believe it.... it isn't true is it... ;)

I remember these. They were popular (well not too popular; not too many were built) about twenty five or thirty years ago, I think. They could be transported by helicopter to remote sites, which was one attraction, but some were set up in urban areas too. I forget who manufactured them but they all looked just like this and they were definitely prefab. The interior was a mostly open-space concept.

Maylbe they don't speak the language and someone pulled their leg(s), telling them it was a "Welcome" sign?

Na, I didn't think so. But it does make a wonderful photo subject. I have to laugh at the mismatch between the Jetson's style building and the white picket fence. Was Astro anywhere in the yard?
