UFO's in Neighborhood view

[flowerchile]

(I swear I was NOT drunk or under the influence of narcotics of any variety when I saw this..  and I did a quick search before posting).

With OFB came the flying pig..  Is it possible that UFO's came with Pets?  I was decorating a custom 'hood a couple of weeks ago and a UFO flew straight by the camera.  I was so freaked out I wasn't quick enough to get a pic.  I waited to see if I got another appearance but nothing, so I reloaded the game; still nothing, and in the two weeks since I haven't encountered it either, but it has been bugging me.  Has anyone seen this, or heard any rumours about it?

The UFO came with  pets; yes.
I've seen it.

Yea, we talked about them a while ago here -- UFOs did appear with Pets.  The best way to get one to show up seems to be to add one or more nuclear cooling towers to a hood or a crashed UFO (like in Strangetown), though I'm pretty sure I've seen one in my Pleasantview where I have neither decoration.

Mine appeared right after I had placed stone henge, flew over it twice, then stopped to scan it, and disappeared.
It think it'll scan anything big enough.

Hmm, didn't think of the stonehenge -- I haven't used the pets one since I have a better one that Numenor did ages ago.  But yea, it looks like placing any of the new hood decorations from pets may trigger a visit.

I did do a search..I swear!  I am sooo happy to find out that I wasn't seeing things.    I had a feeling it was something to do with Stonehenge..there weren't that many new decorations and Stonehenge and the temples have always been associated with the Unknown, so it made sense.
*flowerchile relaxes and un-bolts the door....no men in white coats today at least

UFOs love the cooling tower for some reason. I've seen UFOs come out of them at odd moments.

I happened to remember the title of the old thread, which gave me a serious advantage when searching for it.  "Easter Egg" gives far fewer hits than "UFO".
