The folks who made the documentary Flying Saucers Over Hollywood: The Plan 9 Companion that is part of the deluxe Plan 9 DVD looked into this and found out the saucers were actually "flying saucer" plastic model kits. This of course contradicts a quote from Ed Wood about the saucers being Cadillac hubcaps.

Nevertheless the deployment of these models is groundbreaking, what with the non-GR/SR/QM force fields concentrated in a single thin white line leading up from each saucer!
