Is that the flying saucer from the old TV show The Invaders with Roy Thinnes (he was in that, right)? Or an old Aurora model kit? I know I have seen it somewhere before...

Here's a thread with a similar saucer pic in it.

Don't recall the show, but the title sounds familiar. Don't know who Roy Thinnes is. At least not by name.

Some think it's a light fixture. Maybe that's why it looks familiar?
 
It's a fake.

The model used is probably fabricated, but it's not the Aurora invaders kit.
 
Yet another one of those 'zoom in and out' videos...

...we never get to see the end of the 'encounter'. I wonder why...

...could it be because just after the video ends, 'dad' comes out of the house and asks 'junior' if he's knows what happened to his fishing pole and line?

I can't make my mind up whether this is a real model or CGI - probably a model and shot against a bright sky to hide the wire...it also seems to be 'swaying' slightly.

Who cares anyway - you can buy UAVs for very little money nowadays. The police forces are interested in them to replace the helicopter as the 'eye in the sky', so we can expect to see 'UFOs' on a regular basis in the near future.

Kinda looks like a hot air balloon. Well... sort of. If you squint.

When I was at school in the 80's, we made 'exotic' shaped hot-air balloons out of heavy tissue paper and wire. Mine was rocket shaped and about 8 feet tall. It was weighted down at the base with a wire basket filled with cotton-wool soaked in spirit to heat the trapped air.

On a calm day we launched them from the school yard - they ascended to about 200 feet into the air and drifted on the breeze until they disappeared out of view behind some distant hills.

It's only recently, that I've wondered what that must have looked like to people who had no idea what we had done...
