7. Add detail to the UFO. Draw small circles along the top of the middle portion, each slightly flattened on the bottom. On each side of the top portion, enclose a half circle using a short, curved line. Give the top of the UFO a reflection of light, as if made of glass. To do this, draw a small, curved rectangle to one side, and a small, upside down triangle beneath it.

Then, draw an irregular, rounded square shape on the base of the UFO to form an escape hatch. Detail the hatch by drawing a curved line across its top and side.

Learn More About The UFO Drawing
An unidentified flying object, or UFO, is defined as "any aerial object or optical phenomenon not readily identifiable to the observer."
In other words, a UFO could be almost anything - a meteor, an airplane, a rocket, a weather phenomena, an optical illusion, or an alien spacecraft.
UFOs are most readily associated with alien life and flying saucers. Interest in UFOs rose after World War II, with the invention of rocketry and jet propulsion.
Many unidentified flying objects are thought to have been military experiments with new flight technology. Others, layman and scientist alike, believe that at least some UFOs are signs of intelligent lifeforms visiting earth.
Did you know? The term "flying saucer" is actually a misnomer. It was first used in 1947, after a famous UFO sighting by pilot Kenneth Arnold. Arnold reported seeing a group of fast, crescent shaped objects during a flight.
His description that they moved "like saucers skipping on water" was misreported by a local newspaper. The name stuck, and the term "flying saucer" was born.

Eventually, most UFO sightings are resolved with a natural or man-made explanation. Regardless, UFOs remain an indelible part of pop culture.
Alien abductions and invasions are the topic of countless books and movies, such as Independence Day (1996) and The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951).
