[Jet Capsules](<http://www.jetcapsule.com/MainPages/Home.html>), an Italy-based mini-yacht maker, is bound to change your notion of those metallic alien flying saucers known as UFOs. Think they aren't real? Think again. Well, okay, so may be the *flying* part is up in the air, but UFOs do exist—Meet the [Unidentified](<http://www.jetcapsule.com/UFO/UFO.html>)*[ Floating ](<http://www.jetcapsule.com/UFO/UFO.html>)*[Object](<http://www.jetcapsule.com/UFO/UFO.html>).

Currently a concept design with a prototype in the making, the UFO will sport an entirely circular design with a total of 30 m2 (322ft.2) for use as a two-story living space.

It will also have a garden around it's "disk."

And it will be able to move! It'll have a leisurely maximum speed of 6.5 kph (4 mph) out on the high seas.

Jet Capsules claims that the vehicle will rely on a renewable energy source, asserting the power will come through a 40 m2 (430 ft.2) solar panel housed in a closeable lid on the roof, with optional sources of wind and water turbines. Fresh water will come from rain or seawater, which will be processed by a water generator.

With one story, submerged underwater, this UFO will undoubtedly be a popular hit among those seeking to go off-grid out on the vast ocean waters.

However, it may be [questionable](<http://www.gizmag.com/ufo-floating-home/42903/>) as to how this floating object might handle the rough seas, but the company assures that their UFO is *unsinkable* thanks to their "elastic anchor system" that will keep the craft stable...but it may bounce you about quite a bit when the storms rage.
