Seems he was at a secure facility one night and a “flying saucer” flew over head. He got a good look at it as it hovered over the facility he was guarding then took off at high speeds. He says the base lit up with alarms and cops running all over the place. He says the UFO was just a model aircraft that some one had covered with tin foil to look like a saucer.

To really understand how full of crap your friend is, go spend some time with folks who fly model planes and model helicopters. By all means, they can mimic UFOs in startlingly convincing ways, but not the way your friend says. If you cover an RC model with tinfoil, it will be too heavy to fly.

I'd say your co-worker STILL has you going.

Yeah, adding things like lights or tinfoil to a RC will keep it from flying.

On the contrary, all kinds of RC aircraft are covered with TIN FOIL.

Here is a company that makes the adhesive backed foil.

FLITE METAL

Here is a plane covered in tin foil.
