Flying Saucer...

That page is nuts.

I bet whoever designed that 'hoverboard' also loves wrestling, log cutting and chequered shirts.

I particularly like the plasma-sabre section where you can buy your own swirling, humming jedi stick. For $390 though the force would definately on your wallet be!

Hah!

It's amazing with half these gadgets how they haven't become billionaires.

Could it be that they were ripped out of a Star Trek annual and don't actually work? I notice every page tells you how to make your own and sells the plans for $19.95.

I really like the one where you give a device 16 volts and it gives you back 23 volts. Sounds a bit like something they'd stick on a Las Vegas casino door.

blobrana, what were you doing up at 4:16am... I left Amiga.org at about 2:00am when the only other person sitting here was Wayne! Have you set the alarm properly on your interdimensional time device?

Personally I think all flying saucers are just launch vehicle debris falling back to Earth. If a military satellite wasn't scheduled it'll be for spying so they'll make up a story about extra terrestrials to put us off the scent (although lately the trend seems to be launching satellites to monitor global warming and heal the world).

As for paranormal occurences where people experience losing time and witnessing grotesque creatures, that'll be down to surfing Amiga.org on an AGA chipset.

I remember last year setting up my camcorder on a tripod to film Mars when it was just 56m miles away, the closest this century or something they said. Well I zoomed in (this thing only had 22x optical) and I filmed it for hours.

When you fast forwarded you could see the planet moving out of the field of view, dunno if this was the earth moving or Mars. It was a deep pink colour and I was delighted.

Turns out it wasn't Mars but Jupiter or Venus (I was filming the wrong side of the sky!).

Thank God I wasn't filming Uranus. That would have been a 'bummer'.

Any old monkey could fly an F117a because it can't be controlled unless the computer is there doing the maths. It's so un-aerodynamic a simple blast of EMF could be sufficient to take out the computer and thus down the plane.

There was another Russian flying wing that looked a bit like the UFO from Independance Day, a sort of pointed disc with counter-rotating turbine and a shape that induced lift. I think it was stored in some old hangar used for that giant seaplane/bomber the communists built.

Those petrol hoverboards would really 'take off' if they hit the shops though.
