It looks like no one could make up their minds about what to put on here. They just kept trying stuff and erasing but it wouldn’t come off! I want Elven. No, I think soft Persian. Maybe Medieval Europe? Last-ditch effort, slap a rocket on it. That’ll fix everything.
I will say the textures and colors are kinda cool, but WTF am I looking at, really?

Sometimes. Other times, as noted in Donald Keyhoe’s “Flying Saucers Are Real”, a spaceship is “a huge cigar-shaped device” (U.S. Midwest 1987) or “cigar-shaped craft” (Bridgewater MA 1905) or “strange torpedo shaped device” (Burlington VT 1907). As the Swedish social commentator Sigfrid pointed out, a cigar can be a “phalliken symbolska”; thus, by the Keyhoe analogue, a spaceship can be seen as a cigar. IOW, that is a smutty cover.

At first glance, I thought the rocket and the red thingie behind it was the bottom half of a face with a serious overbite.
Landsmudge.
And yes, I too thought we were looking at a grinning orange. What’s up with that wiggly rocket anyway?
It’s “Annoying Orange” of Youtube fame!
