Group Build Title: Unidentified Flying Object
Group Build Leader(s): @Damraska
Group Build Description: A campaign to reveal the truth behind observed airborne phenomenon that defy explanation.
Event Details: Complete an Unidentified Flying Object of any kind in any scale. All UFOs have the ability to fly in the Earth’s atmosphere but many can also travel in space or underwater. Most UFOs resemble a flying saucer but cigar shaped, spherical, triangular, and unusual craft are also observed. No one seems to know where UFOs come from, who commands them, how they work, or why they are here. UFOs from movies, television, popular culture, and personal inspiration are welcome.
Alternately, build a human machine built to detect, monitor, intercept, contact, or destroy hostile UFOs. Real, conjectural, and imagined craft designed to deal with UFOs are welcome.
Secret project human aircraft that utilize extremely advanced or alien technology, such that they are considered unidentified flying objects by almost everyone, are also allowed.
Figures related to the UFO phenomenon are also allowed including characters from the series UFO, gray aliens, and other beings associated with alien encounter culture.
Participants may build an existing model kit, kit bash multiple model kits, or use scratch building skills. Card, plastic, and wood models are allowed. To encourage the completion of old projects, underway projects at 34% completion or less are allowed.
