Ufo-fenomenet har fångat mänsklighetens fantasi i många år nu och gett upphov till mängder av konspirationsteorier, men en person som inte direkt blev imponerad av sitt ufo-möte var Guillermo del Toro, som menar att dess design var horribel:
"I saw a UFO. I know this is horrible. You sound like a complete lunatic, but I saw a UFO. I didn't want to see a UFO. It was horribly designed."
Man kan nog säga en hel del om de många udda designval i hans egna filmer, men han tycks verkligen ogilla hur klyschigt designad ufot var - även om han var vettskrämd av synen:
"I was with a friend. We bought a six-pack. We didn't consume it, and there was a place called Cerro del Cuatro, 'Mountain of the Four,' on the periphery of Guadalajara. We said, 'Let's go to the highway.' We sit down to watch the stars and have the beer and talk. We were the only guys by the freeway. And we saw a light on the horizon going super-fast, not linear. And I said, 'Honk and flash the lights.' And we started honking.
"Went from 1,000 meters away [to much closer] in less than a second — and it was so crappy. It was a flying saucer, so clichéd, with lights [blinking]. It's so sad: I wish I could reveal they're not what you think they are. They are what you think they are. And the fear we felt was so primal. I have never been that scared in my life. We jumped in the car, drove really fast. It was following us, and then I looked back and it was gone"
Har du sett ett ufo och var den lika dåligt designad som den del Toro såg?
"Nä, flygande tefat är inget för mig... äckligt vårtiga monsterhamstrar däremot..."
