UFO Art Project Takes Flight Over Poland

While Americans were getting psyched over fireworks on the 4th of July, people in the Polish city of Gdansk were taking flicks of this flashing-light saucer that hovered over their heads during the annual Festival of Stars. New York designer Peter Coffin, along with London’s Cinimod Studio, built the 23 foot-long alien craft as part of a project called “Untitled (UFO).”

The one of a kind air machine is powered by 6 kilowatts of energy, controlled by SMS text messaging technology and features 3,000 LED lights. Somebody needed to teach those X-Files aliens how to stunt. To see the flying beast in motion as the Polish saw it on the 4th, check the video after the jump.
