The harvest-gold flying saucer perched on a rocky ledge high above Idyllwild, California, is a Futuro house. It's also Milford Wayne Donaldson's 520-square foot vacation home.
Built in 1969, the plastic prefabricated home offers a glimpse into the optimism of its time, when space was a new, exciting frontier and people believed that new technologies could solve the world's problems.
First designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen as a ski chalet, the idea behind the Futuro was to create a lightweight home that could be placed in a variety of landscapes. Futuros were initially manufactured in Finland, then licensed to companies worldwide. As many as 100 Futuros were built between 1968 and 1978, according to The Futuro House , a site documenting the history and whereabouts of the homes. Only 67 remain, with 20 in the United States.

The "craft" – taken on September 27 – was described as looking like "a black pipe" with a "dull metal colour" in the witnesses' account on the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).

But Dr Kelin said the people who post about and discuss the conspiracies are not a group of “crackpots wearing tinfoil hats”.
Dr Klein said: “In the past before the rise of online forums like Reddit, we tended to only hear about the most extreme views, and those people tended to naturally be wary about talking to someone else about their beliefs.

Disney's Plan To Fly X-Wings Over Star Wars Park Speaks To Perception Manipulation Tactics -
Seven years ago, Disney made the fantasy of a flying dragon come true and I wrote an article about how their accomplishment has big strategic and tactical takeaways. Now the House Of Mouse's Imagineers are about to pull off a similar feat by flying X-Wings over Star Wars Galaxy's Edge , the company's newest land at both their Anaheim and Orlando theme park properties.
Blogmickey.com has been on top of this story, posting shots of the X-Wing aircraft themselves, which are roughly 2/3rds the size of the ones used as props in the movies X-Wing. No need for going full scale if the night sky is your performance medium. Once again, Imagineers wield their forced-perspective wands to get away with far more by actually using less.
