This was difficult to find, and is fenced in when you get there. But it is still in the yard and fun to look at.

There is a sign that says "UFO" right before the gravel driveway.

Delighted to report that the spaceship has landed and still lives in Stroud! Guaranteed to make ya smile:)

This alien yard art was in the back yard of a house on the edge of Stroud, Oklahoma. It was plainly visible on the north side of old Route 66. It was raining when I drove by, so I didn't get to talk to the owner or anything.
[Mark Passwaters, 11/10/2009]Nicely augmented with skulls (mysterious cattle mutilation?), old CDs, and a Laserdisc mounted to a refrigerator shelf as an antenna. The saucer (and accompanying art) is the work of the yard owner, Craig McGuire.
