The Aliens is coming!


UFOs...what are they? Unfortunately, by definition, we can never know. Because, as the genius author Isaac Asimov pointed out, once you know what a UFO is, it ceases to become a UFO (as you have no identified it). Well, guess what? We know what UFOs really are - and we know how to make them. Flying discs with weird glowing orbs are a ThinkGeek specialty, and now we offer this technology to you.

All you have to do to make your own UFOs is to pick your favorite colors of glow tube. Activate them and plug them into the holes on the Flying Disc. If you need a longer tube, you can easily connect two or more with the aptly named "connector piece." When you are done with your creation, it will look something like a mad scientist's Easter bonnet. But all you have to do is throw it to see the transformation - each line of color will become a 3D solid as it spins. You will be able to get some exercise at night, freak out your neighbors, and have fun all at the same time. Because remember, you can't spell "UFO" without "fun!"



Glow and Throw UFO Flying Disc

  • Plug the glow tubes into the flying disc and throw. Persistence of vision will make the glowing lines turn into 3D shapes - and turn the disc into a UFO
