The UFO, close-up, after dark. (It just won't go away!)


And do try this at home, Kiddies! All you need are two matching aluminum pie plates, a stapler, some string, your camera, and an editing program for photos on your computer.

Before you staple the two plates together around their outer rim, mark the center of the one you will use for the top, and punch a small hole in it, just big enough for a string to hang it up. Be sure you tie a big knot on the end of the string that's inside the plate, so it won't pull out through the hole. Then, staple the rims together like the picture, and hang it up somewhere like out on the porch or the balcony, where you can take its picture as if it were actually flying.  Later, after the photo is on your computer, you can use the photo editor program to remove the string from your picture, and then do whatever else you like to make it look like a UFO..... I didn't do this very well, but this is only my first attempt. I will probably get better next time..... if those guys with the white coats don't get me first. Enjoy your day, everyone.
