I could see these things being a part of a few UFO stories with the way they look done up with the lights at night.

#1 – Wightout,

Exactly what I was thinking, yet another wave of UFO sightings coming soon to a “news” channel near you, probably Fox?

Same here, once I saw them all lighted up with bright-white LEDs (probably from $1 keychain fobbs). Now we’re going to start having a whole new rash of UFO reports from those believers who think that these things are “the real deal”. BTW, I’ll bet they don’t allow these things to fly anywhere near the White House. Can’t take a chance it might be used by terrorists, right? Might do a lot of damage, like scratch the paint on Cheney’s limo.

This CLEARLY a techno audio track, NOT disco! Still sux!

#4 The first track is Techno is not that good and the second is not Techno but generally I like Techno, I picked that up from Jakarta. IMHO its much better and 10X better than RAP, the ‘Boom Boom’ noise you hear from cars 3 blocks away and that screaming heavy metal shit usually found on solider videos from Iraq. Its all taste though…

#1 & 2. Yep More UFOS! * lol *

Cheers

Har! That’s a tot’s toy. Here’s a real R/C airplane, the B-52.

Although this video is 9 min. long, just the first 2 minutes are well worth a look, and none of that junky new wave music either, just the sound of 8 genuine turbine engines:

#5 you are a twat because of saying all those things. Every genre of music has its own good and bad stuff. As for the Heavy Metal…It rules!!!
Metal up your ass!

Cool B 52!

However, Flying Teddy is slick as well…better audio track.

#8, good thing I’m not a music critic!

This site has a poll for whichever you think is best — Teddy or the B-52 –

Now Hop’s certain to give me the UKKMA!

Maybe you should have mentioned people need to log in to see/participate in the poll? BRDDA time?

# 11 hhopper said, on September 4th, 2007 at 12:16 pm

Yeah BubbaRay, you just won your own award! <snicker>

# 12 BubbaRay said, on September 4th, 2007 at 12:46 pm

#10, #11, Anyone that can’t figure out how to log in to Cage Match is a candidate for the UKKMA.

But the prestigious BubbaRayDipDork award is hereby presented to you both for contemplating what should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer! An historic occasion, co-winners! Drinks all around!

Here’s your cookie: http://tinyurl.com/3btewl

Believe it or not, many folks wouldn’t figure out what was wrong with the poll. “Gee, where do I click? Hyu, hyu.

(Nice cookie though.)

#13, Hop, I don’t mean to underestimate the intelligence of the crowd here, but you’re probably correct. So I’m taking the liberty of awarding your UKKMA to myself.

Now you need to select a deluxe picture commemorating the UKKMA, like the pic that accompanies the BRDDA:

Wow! Three winners on one post in one day! My work is done!

In case anyone is still reading this. One other thing struck me about this video. Both the flying and filming techniques are above average. What are the odds that both would be that good? I’m betting that this is a promotional video, done by a skilled sales rep and videographer. Not yer average joe out flying these for jollies. A real pro job on the LED wiring too. Bet it’s not part of the basic model.
