Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 521.8 Hz, 5 cents flat of C5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A flying saucer is an imaginary spaceship from science fiction, shaped like a round, flat saucer. The name was first used in 1947, after a pilot said he had seen shiny objects skimming across the sky. Anything seen in the sky that no one can identify is called a UFO, an unidentified flying object; most turn out to be planes, balloons, birds or bright planets.
This saucer hovers over a field with its rim lights turning, and its glowing beam lifts a cow into the air. Tap to switch the beam off, and the cow settles back on the grass; tap again to switch it on.
