U.F.O.

A U.F.O. as seen in Animal Crossing: City Folk

Not to be confused with a Flying Saucer, a furniture item in the Space Theme set.

"An unidentified object has landed in our town!"

— Pelly, Animal Crossing: Wild World

The U.F.O. is a disc-like object that flies over the player's town on one random weekday, between 6am and 6am the next day. Gulliver, the captain of the U.F.O., calls it the Porpoise 5000, which is a reference to Captain Olimar's ship in the Pikmin games, the S.S. Dolphin, both of which are named after types of sea mammal that are closely related. It only appears in Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk.

In Animal Crossing: Wild World

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, Gulliver's UFO appears on a random weekday on the top screen between 6am and 6am the next day, while no other special visitor is in town. It only appears when the final digit of the time is a 2 or 7. If shot down with a slingshot, it will crash, together with an unconscious Gulliver, on a signpost in town. This will cause five UFO parts to scatter around town. If the player returns them all to Gulliver before 6am, he will reward them with one of his rare items.

In Animal Crossing: City Folk

The UFO plays a similar role in Animal Crossing: City Folk as it does in Animal Crossing: Wild World, but after being shot down with a slingshot, it does not immediately crash-land, and instead appears crashed the next day on the beach. One 'UFO part' (NTSC) or 'spaceship part' (PAL) can be found on the ground somewhere in town after the player hits the UFO. Like in Animal Crossing: Wild World, returning the part to Gulliver will result in a rare item being awarded.

In this game, the UFO only appears during the first ten minutes of an hour, and only enters town when the final digit of the time hits 2 or 7. It always flies on the top row of the 2nd, 3rd or 4th acres from the top of town, which is the same path that the balloons take.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Although Gulliver's UFO does not appear in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, a UFO can be seen on TV at exactly 3:33am on Sunday and Monday.
