Mars Flying Saucer

A 3,000-pound flying saucer crafted from two oil tanks that sits in the town square of Mars, Pennsylvania, celebrating the town's space-themed name and playful connection to extraterrestrial lore.

The move: Grab a coffee at the Mars Brew House, sit on the metal spaceship for a goofy photo shoot, and count how many other alien figures you can spot peeking out of local shop windows.
