I was surfing around online and came across this UFO levitating light.

So I bought it just for the hell of it and it turned out to be the coolest thing I bought in a while.

Majorly stupid purchase but it's pretty cool. The LED lights change color the UFO hovers about 3/4 of an inch off the top plate thing and it has a Bluetooth speaker which actually sounds pretty decent.

My wife thinks is it was a stupid purchase and wants it out of the living room but it's staying for a while

That's pretty neato! Where'd you buy it from?

Hopefully it's not a micro alien ship, that you're now holding captive in a tractor beam.

I saw it (or something similar) on Amazon and wondered how I could eliminate the long column and mount it on my RFM as a topper.

Yeah I can't stop looking at it it's pretty cool. Then I downloaded the X-Files theme song onto my phone and I play it through the Bluetooth speaker makes it even better

We collect $XXXX wooden boxes that you bat around a steel ball inside. What could be kookier?

As soon as I saw who posted this I thought oh no, I thought they operated on his foot not his head.
Yet I am pleasantly pleased.
I like it!

That's really cool. I have a floating Earth like that, the base can't be moved even bumped or the Earth comes crashing down. Is this the same?

Yeah you have to be careful once you get it to float.

For some reason, this thread is completely lacking a link to the lamp.

Just looked it up. The stupidest thing is that it seems to be REALLY tiny. Should be floor lamp size.

I think it’s cool but then again I’m the king of impulse/weird/drunk shopping.

Well after looking around I found something else to buy that was kind of stupid but pretty.

Would make a great topper for Back to the Future machine
