A strange-looking house available in Tennessee is a perfect attraction for those fascinated with space mysteries and X-files series. The house built in the shape of a flying saucer appeared on a road to Chattanooga's Signal Mountain in 1970.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The circular house — ultramodern when it was built — is ringed with small square windows and directional lights and perched on six "landing gear" legs. It has multiple levels, three bedrooms, two baths and an entrance staircase that retracts with the push of a button.

Dale Evans bought Roy some brand new blue cowboy boots. During the night, a mountain lion sneaked up to the porch where those boots were airing out. You see, Roy's feet were mighty smelly. Anyway, that lion gnawed those boots to pieces. Roy wakes up at daybreak, sees his boots, and he throws a fit. He saddles Trigger and rides out. Hours later as the sun set, Roy rides up dragging the lion behind him, shot dead between the eyes. Dale comes out on the porch and asks, "Pardon me, Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new blues shoes?"
