Vietnamese Builder Creates UFO-Shaped Boat That Came to Him in a Dream

This unique boat mimics our collective take on an alien UFO.

You don’t see this too often, a personal boat shaped like a classic saucer-style UFO. That’s the vision that came to Vietnamese builder Tran Long Ho, and so he felt compelled to make it. As an experienced maker and builder, the unusual boat form was a challenge, but he made it look easy.

The result is fascinating, a small and nimble craft that positively zips down rivers, complete with honeycomb-shaped windows, LED lighting, and electronic controls. With a jet boat motor, it has surprising speed and maneuverability.

Check out the video below to see the build and driving of the boat, which really does handle amazingly. Via MyModernMet:
