Just when you think you’ve seen it all, we’re here to tell you about Delaware’s very own flying saucer. No, it’s not an alien ship – it’s a Futuro House! There are only a handful of these retro modular homes left in the world, and one is hiding right here in the First State.

If you’ve driven past the Eagle Crest Airport, you might have noticed a strange flying saucer that looks like it landed straight from outer space.

This isn’t a visitor from outer space, though - it’s a Futuro House!

Google Local / Darth Levisoa These quirky, modern, and minimalist homes were designed in 1968, by an architect named Matti Suuronen.

Suuronen came up with the idea for a portable ski chalet and got right to work marketing his creation.

The Eagle Crest Futuro House has been an oddity since it was first built. This photo from the 1960s shows how it has remained almost exactly the same!

Delaware’s “flying saucer” is still occupied to this day, so if you drive by, be sure not to disturb the homeowner.

Can you imagine if these homes had caught on? More streets would look like this one, all over the place!

What do you think of this funky design? Is this your dream home?
