RocketPilot573 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 There are 2 UFOs in KSP, though they are not flying anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddmatts Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) DOE is pretty buggy sometimes, especially when you zoom out all the way. A few days ago it was showing me a flare of something orbiting Ike equatorially, but the orbit was so offset it was essentially doing circles over and slightly into Ike's surface.

waterlubber Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 These are called MBL's. There a known bug with the lighting engine. The illumanti hacked squad and made it so a.) it's impossible for jet engines to melt the I-beams and b.) triangles appear everywhere. Don't worry, it's a bug. We can have some fun with it, though.

Rdivine Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hey guys. I am very sure that it wasn't a glitch of some sort. It seemed like a solid object viewed from multiple camera angles. Thanks for the response anyways and we may never know the truth out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlextheBodacious Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 There should be a mod that adds aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I remember working one night helping the TA teach astronomy lab at the campus observatory. A guy was pointing out 3 stars that as he observed, made a triangle, asking what they were. I had to inform him that except for the special case of them being in an actual line, any 3 stars made a triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luizopiloto Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I generally see them from orbit... I aways see a flare around LKO... on a orbit of about 20~30° inclination... between 120~200Km... I tried to rendezvous to it many times, but it aways disappears when I get close... O___oI aways tough it was some kind of DistantObject mod easter-egg/bug, but no... That thing is there... I even gave a codename to it... "The Black Knight" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioner Tadpole Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yes, I've seem them too. In my Duna base, I saw a really big cluster of them together. I thought they were just debris and didn't pay attention, but later I discovered I had no debris in orbit of Duna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythbusters844 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Whether this is fake, a bug, or actually real, that is pretty cool. I think UFO encounters would make for an interesting mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunaRocketeer Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Got this bug with DOE. It's such a lovely mod, but seeing these really bright clusters of flares kinda devalues it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazeda14 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Can you please tell me the location of the sighting because I built a fighter jet to hunt it down.

TheEpicSquared Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Sorry, I had to. But at any rate, I think this should be made into a proper easter egg. Having a black triangle occasionally visit the KSC as you launch a rocket, and then disappear back into space, would be pretty cool. Maybe there could be special science experiments done on these crafts when they are recovered that would give you that tech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstah Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Oh, wow, this is quite an old thread. And, no, to this day there are still no UFOs in KSP except for some occasional graphic glitches. Oh, well. Documents filed, thread closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
