I Also Saw the “Tic-Tac” UFO

Like many humans, I’ve seen a UFO. After observing the unusual sight, I made sure to document what I’d seen, as it was very interesting, and I wanted to remember all the details for future reference.

In Space No One Can Hear You Build: More Incredible Aliens Scenes Recreated in Lego!

In May of last year I posted a short interview here on HL with a Flickr user called Missing Brick – who has painstakingly built a series of highly detailed and spine-tingling Lego scenes that pay tribute to classic moments from James Cameron’s Aliens. Each build is huge and gloriously accurate, but the magical finishing
