Doesn't grow on rocks either.

And a rolling stone gathers no moss (but Keith Richards had gathered a load of scrap metal in his hair the last time I saw him).

The Vatican Flying Saucer was last seen near a kids playground.

The N.Korean saucer was last seen on Korean Central News Agency, an emergency UN meeting is being called to consider further sanctions.

They should have used their test pilot. Some say that his farts are rocket fuel, and that he is the man behind the mystery racing driver Ben Collins. All we know is he's not The Stig. But he is the Stig's astronaut cousin, Neil Stignik.

Does he bear the Stigmata?

As a child, he played with stiglebricks.

The video is a very good example of why you should wear seatbelts

The Oldham flying saucer is now achieving speeds of .93 light-speed, without any bits falling off. However, the pilot is still suffering nose-bleeds and dizzy spells, but he's expendable.

looks like the Chinese are still having problems with their flying saucer

That looks a bit like the Oldham flying saucer. Our pilot's got no sense of direction. Wouldn't know if he was over China, Chile, or Chadderton.

That doesn't look like a saucer to me.

Calling it a saucer is a wink...

At that time, Canard control surfaces with pusher engine configurations were somehow radical concepts in Aerodynamic design doctrine...

would have been an awesome fighter, if suited with jet engines, and a reinforced structure...

Ppl say it was so much more manoeuvrable when compared to more traditional Aiframes, like A6m Rei Sen or A7m Reppu, or even Nakajima Ki 84, Shinden means "Magnificent Lightning"...
