Where the hell did all the flying saucers go?

Man, back in the day, like the 1950's and 60's there were all those nice flying saucer UFO's. They were big and round and metallic and shiny.

My favorite were the ones which has the curvy disk and then bad the bubble on top with windows all around it, the insloped kinds.. kinda like they used to have on the old unpressurized passenger aircraft... only a bit bigger.

But now... no more. You rarely see the good saucer photos. I can only assume they have been retired and only flown by the old "classic saucer" alien fans, who fly them for fun to rallies and stuff.

You see the triangular ones every once in a while and the ones which are like a weird cross between a saucer and a bubble. Or even a wallnut or something. I think the triangle thing was kinda a fad in the 1990's, when the F-117 got all that attention... all the aliens were copying it's style...


But mostly now none of the good solid ones seem to show up anymore. Okay, traingles and wedges were kinda a dumb fad, but now the aliens seem to all be flying poorly-defined orbs and balls of goo or just little plasma-looking things. I guess it's the whole "Organic" style that is big now.. Too bad you can rarely see what the actual shape is.

Is it just me? Or does anyone else think that the old ones, like the classic 1955 "Bubble Top", and the 1966 "Kinda Chubby saucer with little landing feet" just seem to have more character to them?

Man.. UFO designers these days... no fresh ideas. No style
