Those flying saucers look like a model I made of pine painted silver with a half of a vet’s soluble capsule cut down for the pilot’s dome-cockpit in easly HS

Not just for them either! They would be crashing and dropping on us like flys!
My kids had a Jetsons craft toy, think is it still in the attic. Looks just like my gif - or rather, my gif looks just like it, lol.
