Headline: Superyacht Design Is Based On Roswell UFO

Caption: This yacht has out of this world inspiration - the mythical Roswell UFO. Monaco-based designer George Lucian wanted to create "an iconic worldwide recognisable yacht inspired from the future". The result is a jaw-dropping vessel entitled My Roswell, which he says is inspired by the supposed discovery of a crashed alien spacecraft in 1947. The US military have said the item was a nuclear test surveillance balloon, however conspiracies still abound about the otherworldly source of the object. The entirely aluminium 65m super yacht is designed to have full electric running capabilities, supported by two diesel electric engines and large electric panels that cover the numerous horizontal surfaces of the superstructure of the vessel. Its shape borrows elements from the military stealth vessels, aircrafts and spacecrafts, and, together with the fully electric power scheme, reflective hull surface, patterns, and sharp angles, make the yacht have a very discrete radar footprint, if any. George explains: "The shape, colour and texture of the material covering the yacht are similar to the materials found at the Roswell Incedent UFO crash." The designer made waves in 2017 with the bold “Dare To Dream” superyacht concept, which saw a 100 metre (330ft) airship tethered to the vessel. George's new concpet is equally as eye-catching. He says: "Unlike its radar footprint, its presence in any harbour will for sure be anything else but discrete. On the bow side of the main deck you can find a large outdoor covered living area, including a beam length swimming pool, a lounge and a dining area. This shall be the main living area of the yacht, being connected to the main salon and the stern deck with large glass doors and walls, giving the sensation of a huge open loft like space. "The bridge deck is located on the upper deck, together with a helicopter platform, and a sky lounge. The yacht can welcome onboard 12 guests together with 12 crew members."
