Actually that's not really true. I have seen lots of video of UFOs along with lots of digital images. Trouble is that camcorder video images and digital images are really poor quality compaired to film and easier to call inconclusive and or fakes. I remember the "rods" flap that were caught on high speed film images that turned out to be bugs flying (or so the experts say). In fact I caught some images on a digital camera of ? and put them on my site at http://www.trainweb.org/zmtshortline/ufo.html . It's hard to tell what the object was other than i drove 20 miles trying to get to it and never did. It changed colors to match it's background. So laugh if you must, but there was something there that day and it wasn't a 767 or a weather balloon...FRED

First of all, FRED, great UFO pix.

emeraldisle - Aug 1978 MR for the lunar railroad. I think that it was based on slot car technology, but will have to dig the article out and look at it again. I definately remember the whole thing looking very seventyish.

Later...

Thanks, I appreciate that. I couldn't find it in MR'S archives and this is definately a great little project for someone with a great sence of humor and a lot of modelers licence[:D][:D][:D]

I've got two flying saucers that make an appearance from time to time on my layout.

One is scratch-built form sheet styrene. It represents a medical aircar as in "The Price of the Stars" by D. Doyle and J. Macdonald. It is not really a UFO as it is human but it looke quite nice. It is a bit bigger than a really large car (say a Chevy Eldorado, that being the biggest i have in HO scale) and about hte same shape as an estate car.

The other uses the fuselage from a 1:100 scale russian turbo prop (about 10cm long) but with rocket engines of the rear ad swiveling vertical lift engines where the wing roots are.

More are planned :)

I have a model of the Jupiter 2 from Lost in Space on my layout, complete with Robinson family and Robot. But no aliens, the Robinson's are from Earth.

Interesting how UFO sightings have apparently decreased since the end of the cold war. Think about it, the once-secret aircraft that we now know about look weird enough (If you saw an SR-71 Blackbird and didn't know they existed, you'd be inclined to think it was from another planet!), so what else do the world's air forces have stashed away in their equivelents of Area 51? I suspect most UFO sightings are actually experimental aircraft, which to my mind are even more interesting than ET!

I've been exploring some other sites and found one that says that area 51 now has a new UFO resembling a very large PORK SAUSAGE with wings. The Air Force plans on sending this abomination over to IRAQ and have it hover over every city and town. A recorded message would then play over and over again day and nite, saying " PORK FAT RULES, EAT AT JOE'S". The goal is to drive all of them nuts until they hand over SADOM. Who knows, it may work. What do you think?

I think this is a question for Art Bell and George Nooray.

Yes , I am Under Full Observation all the time. And so are you. As for a ship, I cannot tell you that, it's classified.

I bought an police call box/TARDIS model that will eventually find a home on my (as yet unbuilt) HO layout. As of right now, I'm torn between featuring it as part of a "film set' area or just move around the layout from place to place. In either case, I'd have to track down some Victorian-era figures to complete the Doctor-ish look. Hadn't thought about the yellow roadstrer though. Thanks for mentioning that.

I bought it from a company called Langley Miniatures in the UK. They also have kits in O and OO scales.

Their web address is: http://www.langleymodels.co.uk/

Search for police box and you'll find the appropriate link.

Interesting series of pics. I my self am sort of an ameture UFO researcher and find your pic interesting. Do I know what it is? No. Do I have theories? Yes. Do I think it is a space craft from another world? No conclusive evidence to prove iether way.

Although I did read of a project where the Airforce (I think it was polular Mechanics, I cant remember) out fited one of their KC-135 tankers with a serice of LCD scrense on the bottom, and mounted video cameras facing up on the top of the plane and had the image played on the LCD on the bottom and it became in effect a primative cloacking device. You could still tell it was some kind of airplane, but it was very hard to see.

I sometime place the models I have of the Jupiter 2 and the Cyclops Giant from the series Lost In Space on my layout. It's not prototypical but it's sometimes fun and it looks different!

There will no place for such things on my layout. Yes, I enjoy the occasional joke or humorous scene....but no UFOs.
