Lines: 16 I saw plans for a UFO detector once, although I cannot recall where; the premise was that UFOs mung up the local magnetic fields, so you can detect one by wiring an ordinary magnetic compass to an alarm. As the UFO passes over, the needle deflects from its ordinary north-south orientation and trips the alarm. Then the Men In Black take you away as you rush out the door with your camera. Then there was the gizmo that you put a photograph in and turned some knobs to "tune in" the Etheric Vibrations and cause something to happen to the object(s) pictured in the photo...
