UFO Home in Tennessee Sold for $135 K
UFOs are much cheaper to buy than almost any abode in San Francisco or New York. This three-bedroom alien ship—complete with the landing gear legs, a retractable staircase that descends to the ground, cubed windows, and a strangely old-timey streetlamp outside—sold for a mere $135K at an auction in Tennessee this past weekend. The person who bought it, a certain Pearl Johnson from Cincinnati, Ohio, refused to comment on her purchase. Image by AP. The Daily Star via Boing Boing
