UFO on back of lorry?

[Brigand]

Saw this story on the news earlier, it shows a saucer shaped object in wraps, being towed by a flatbed lorry.

All the usual conspiracy theories are out there, and the more plausible story that it is a drone, perhaps similar to the one that the Iranians got hold of recently. It looks roughly the right shape to be one, minus the wings, but perhaps a bit big for that though?

What do we all think? The Yanks have captured a flying saucer and taking it home to investigate?

Apparently the local Sheriff and the company hauling it were asked to keep quiet about it...

Whether it's a spy drone or not, why would you put something like that on a flatbed then haul it around without a cover if you was worried about people seeing it ?

It's got tyres on it! HTH.

Radar dish?

I thought it was Aurora this morning, but does that have that kind of undercarriage?

I like the way one person interviewed from daybreak news, thought it was a 'sphere shaped object'. Frickin idiots!

Well, considering that there isn't ACTUAL proof that it exists I think the finer points of what type of undercarriage 'it' has are irrelevant.

The wheels on the bottom of it don't look too 'alien', I'd have hoped that aliens would have come up with a better solution to landing than a set of wheelbarrow tyres!

I tell ya, everything moves on the back of a lorry at some point. Even when the men from Mars need their spacecraft moving, it's cheaper to put it on the back of a lorry.

Cloaking device has failed.

Can anyone tell if the aliens use radial or cross-ply technology?

Looks like a rusty version of this from the 80's

Perhaps its going on display at the local gymnasium..

Ex-movie prop or similar headed for the top of a pole outside a burger joint called "ET's Teas'n'Eats" or something.

It is most likely an X-47B drone, Navy drone.

Possibly, apart from the fact that it looks nothing like that!

Wings removed and wrapped up to protect it from the elements. Pretty similar, remember that image was a concept so it might be slightly different.

[TheHeretic]

If they use the same sort of wrapping they use on pleasure craft, it could well look like that.

Front at the left, looks a lot like the X-47. Wheels are a bit of a giveaway to the non-UFOness, but I reckon this is more likely a mock-up rather than the real thing - the undercarriage covers are missing.

Probably removed for transport like the wings. Landing gear looks the same just wrapped up in that protective wrapping.

Well, looks like the std deception has worked again perfectly!

(for those that don't know, the give away is that there is no requirement to be aerodynamic in space, the actual UFO is the "lorry" below the fake ufo, which is just put there to fool people into looking at the wrong thing..............)
