It's a Bird, It's a Plane, it's a Coffee Lid UFO!

Actually, they're IFOs - identified as plastic Mr. Coffee lids strung up with fishing string and photographed by Jim Underdown to look like unidentified flying objects.

Find out what you need for this alien craft crafts project on Hollywood Reality Check
on "Skeptical Sunday: Take A Number" this week!

It's good... I like how the camera seems to be a little bit out of focus as well so that they really seem like genuine UFO photos.

I worry that it doesn't glisten enough though, so I'd have gone the extra step of adding a couple layers of metallic paint and maybe gloss varnish.

Perhaps some lights and weird people looking stunned might add a bit.

Before the age of graphic design softwares, they used to take more effort to produce quality fake UFO models... Shame on them!

A bit annoyed that this week's episode (language) was not labelled on the main page as an encore presentation. I hope that the person who handles that page reads this.

Nice. Shermer from Skeptic magazine has a you tube video on how to do this as well.

With any luck your flying coffee lids will be on that "UFO" hunters show with that moron in the hat trying to prove how it couldn't be a hoax...
