Lasse Klein designed this fantastic Alien Abduction Lamp. It's still a concept model but Klein hopes to someday bring it to market.

This looks exactly like a Japanese toy that I got from Meltdown comics in LA. I love the toy but it looks too close for comfort.

That’s a great idea… and version 2 of the lamp could have the cow move up along the “beam”, disappear inside the saucer and then descend after a few minutes. And the effect won’t be complete until you add eerie synthesizer sounds.
