Description
About the photo:
...when I first saw the official NASA photos of these aircraft, I was amazed, and immediately asked questions at the man who gave me the pictures, regarding how many of these aircraft were built.
I also inquired about the flight performance (altitude and cruise speed) for these aircraft.
Some of the in-flight photos clearly showed the discs being escorted by an F-84 Thunderjet (straight-wing) interceptor aircraft. Some other photos were taken at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center.
In almost all the pictures the standard NASA insignia, and the word "NASA", was visibly printed on the craft. The disc were polished aluminum silver in color, with the aircraft skin seams and panels clearly visible...
About the artwork:
This is my third "UFO by NASA" picture (take a look to the other pictures in my gallery).
UFO and custom textures made by me. The UFO is totally modelled and rendered in BRYCE; I have used my own "Flying Saucer 1950", on sale in my Renderosity shop. Final fake photo is composed in Photoshop:
Please note the hangar reflection on the UFO.
The hangar is on the original NASA picture and the ufo is 3D.

As I recall, this particular flying saucer was supposedly the first "science fiction" oriented plastic model kit. I think Linberg was the initial distributor, but I do know for certain Linberg sold the "re-issue" back in the 80s (maybe 90s). Fascinating bit of nostalgia. I just wish you sold .OBJ versions of your ships in addition to the Bryce only versions. Regardless, great integration of the different elements! Sincerely, Bill
