This reads like a clickhole article omg:
"Guillermo del Toro says he saw a real UFO and it was ‘horribly designed’"

@shel “It was so crappy,” the Oscar-nominated director continued to say about his harrowing experience with a janky UFO. “It was a flying saucer, so clichéd, with lights [blinking]. It's so sad: I wish I could reveal they're not what you think they are. They are what you think they are.”
@shel somehow that makes it so much more plausible. "yeah, I've seen a UFO... it looked kinda dumb, actually, so I never told anybody, because they wouldn't believe me anyway and it didn't seem worth the trouble, you know?"
@shel Industrial design isn't our strong point.
@shel "Although del Toro described it as the scariest moment of his life, the director of Pan’s Labyrinth and Pacific Rim couldn’t help but note how visually unimpressive and hackneyed the spacecraft was, even as he and his friend were fleeing for their lives."
I am dead.
@shel this is my favorite article in existence
