MODERATORS
I had a friend who grew up in Oklahoma during the 70s. He taught me how to make crop circles and UFOs to freek people out. It isn't hard actually.
One classic UFO technique is to take a large white (can be black, but white works better) garbage bags and attach it to a simple square frame made out of something lightweight like a coat hanger or balsam wood. It has to have an X crossing the middle where you place a candle. Fill the bag with a hair dryer (or just wait for the candle to do it) and the lift will take it up like a hot air balloon. It will get tossed around in the wind in erratic patterns and since it is largely unrecognizable most people will have a hard time approximating size and distance. As a result, it will look like a large moving in impossible ways looks like it is farther away, and that makes it look like it is moving faster than possible, and changing directions in ways that a helicopter or airplane would not be able to do). Instant aliens.
