I wouldn't go inside (aside from the No Trespassing signs) since the floor is pretty unsafe. Great photo op though!

The Futuro saucer is located closer to Royse City than Quinlan. It's the only UFO saucer, not two.

The saucer received a bright orange paint job around five years ago, which appears to be holding up well.

They're heeeeere. It's on the side of the road. There's parking. It's an interesting thing to stumble upon.

Great stop.

The Futuro was a novel 1960s portable home designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen. This one used to be located in Garland, Texas in the 1980s-'90s, and later ended up in a field. It sat empty and neglected, was repainted orange in 2014, and has a fresh layer of graffiti added since.
