Feature
●PRECISION MACHINED METAL SPINNING TOP: Each of our Stainless Steel models are made from 304 Stainless Steel, also known as food grade stainless. Stainless steel contains many unique properties including: corrosion resistant, durable, temperature resistant, low maintenance, attractive appearance, and environmentally friendly (easy to recycle). Each UFO is precision CNC machined to a machine tolerance of 0.0005”, roughly 5x width of human hair.
●POST TREATMENT: After each piece is precision machined, a post operation is performed. After this is complete a precision laser etches very fine details onto the top and bottom of the UFO. This precision is the size of a human hair 0.001”. These fine entails label the UFO with the name and UFO sighting date and provide unique details that highlight the uniqueness of the UFO. These details also create a visual display when spun.
●LONG SPINNING, PERFECTLY BALANCED: With some skill and practice each of the Triangulum stainless steel models can achieve a spin time in excess of 5 minutes. These tops feel like they spin forever. After a short duration the top will enter hover mode - is when the top has achieved perfect balance. Once achieved it feels like the top is standing still or hovering.
●FUN FOR EVERYONE: UFO Tops are fun for all ages, men, women, adults, children, teenagers, and just about everyone. They are pocket sized- roughly 2” wide and 1.5” talls. They are great in a backpack, in a drawer or on your desk near the keyboard and mouse.
●PERFECT FIDGET AND FOCUS TOY: UFO Tops are a fun analog toy that helps you reduce stress, and reduce your screen time. Many find tops relaxing, reduce stress and anxiety, and better emotional control. Also fun is spin competitions with friends and family. See who can spin the longest upright spin and then inverted or upside down spins.
●THE PERFECT, UNIQUE GIFT: UFO Tops are one of a kind, that comes through from the precision machining, laser etching, artwork and custom designed packaging which includes the UFO sighting artwork and the display window. You will have fun learning about the UFO sighting event that inspired the design and detail of your UFO Top.

Roswell, New Mexico 1947In July, 1947 northwest of Roswell, New Mexico, rancher Mac Brazel discovered shiny metal debris. Soon after, the headline in the Roswell Daily Records was, "RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region." Rumors quickly swirled throughout the country ranging from crashed weather balloons to secret military projects to alien sightings. Thousands visit Roswell each year in search of the truth. |
Cussac, France, 1967In late summer of 1967, in the town of Cussac, France, a 13-year-old boy Francois and his 9-year-old sister Anne Marie were peacefully herding cows in a field when they were startled by a bright, spherical-shaped object off in the distance. They saw four small black beings about 47" tall enter the craft. When the UFO flew away it left a smell of sulfur and a circle of dried grass. |
Rendlesham, England, 1980On a cold December night in 1980 near Rendlesham Forest, England, two USAF security patrolmen saw an angular metallic object with pulsating red and blue lights off in the distance. Hovering, the UFO illuminated the forest with an intense white light. As the officers approached the light, the UFO sped off through the trees. USAF deputy base commander Lieutenant Colonel Charles I. Halt described the event in what is known as the Halt memo. |

Dalnegorsk, Primorsky Krai, Soviet Union, 1986The Height 611 UFO incident was the reported impact of a reddish ball traveling at approximately 34 mph, 700 meters above the ground. When the object reached the hill known as Height 611 it started to descend then crashed into the hill. Mesh fragments and beads were discovered at the crash site. Radiation levels were confirmed to be normal. Film from cameras with photos of the scene later developed as blank. |
Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, 1967The Shag Harbour UFO incident was the reported impact of an unknown large object into waters near Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, a tiny fishing village on the Atlantic coast, on October 4, 1967. Local resident, Laurie Wickens and four of his friends were driving through Shag Harbour on Highway 3 when they saw a large object descending into the water off the harbour. Getting out of the card to get a better view, Wickens and his friend saw an object floating 275m offshore in the waters. In a panic, Wickens called the police to report the crash. |
Lubbock, Texas, 1951On the evening of Aug. 25, 1951, three professors - Dr. A.G. Oberg, Dr. W.L. Ducker, and Dr. W.I. Robinson observed peculiar flashing lights in the sky. Again on Sept. 5, these three men along with two other professors saw lights, "appeared to be about the size of a dinner plate and they were greenish-blue, slightly fluorescent in color. They were smaller than the full moon at the horizon. There were about a dozen to fifteen of these lights... they were absolutely circular... it gave all of us... an extremely eerie feeling." |
Colorful, collectible and unique packaging, great for gifts young and old.
