You were expecting a horse and buggy?You bet your bippy that’s a spaceship. And it’s not a Buick skymaster either. It can go from zero to 100 megalight in under 30 minutes.(a megalight is a million times the speed of light)
From Wikipedia:…In 1978, 20th Century Fox sued Universal Studios (producers of Battlestar Galactica) for plagiarism, copyright infringement, unfair competition, and Lanham Act claims, claiming it had stolen 34 distinct ideas from Star Wars.
Universal promptly countersued, claiming Star Wars had stolen ideas from their 1972 film Silent Running, notably the robot “drones”, and the Buck Rogers serials of the 1930s.
20th Century Fox’s copyright claims were initially dismissed by the trial court in 1980, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit remanded the case for trial in 1983.

How many of you would hold yourself to such a mild expletive upon seeing a bona fide space ship land within spitting distance?

That’s pretty much what I said when I visited the space ports at Vandenberg and Cape Canaveral.

It was later “resolved without trial”.
