The Space Hotel
Like a scene from Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, it looks like there’s a UFO landing in this forest. But far from being an opportunity to meet E.T. or the martians, it’s actually a place to sleep. That’s because the bizarre retro-looking 50s-style flying saucer situated near the town of Harads, Sweden, is actually a HOTEL. (Daily Mail Reporter)
The amazing room with a view is part of the Treehotel, winner of the country’s major tourism prize. Guests can stay in what might be every sci-fi fan’s fantasy for up to 4,550 Swedish kronor per night for two people including breakfast. It is spread out over two storeys with room for four would-be space travellers. (Daily Mail Reporter)
One of the earliest recorded sightings of a UFO dates back to 1561 in Nuremberg, Germany, which was described as ‘a battle in the sky lasting about one hour, which ended with a large crash’. In Roswell, New Mexico, USA, in 1947 US Army Air Forces allegedly captured a UFO which spawned conspiracy theories for decades to come. (Daily Mail Reporter)
