Landers residents awoke yesterday to find that during the night something like a flying saucer had landed in the demonstration garden at the Landers Post Office. The eight-foot-wide, silvery-black, spaceship-looking installation appears to be on plywood and embedded in concrete.
No one from the post office, Landers Association, or even the water district could say who put the piece there, or rather, when it had landed. There is a cutout in the center of the saucer, like the kind people put their face in and take silly photos at a carnival. Weird alien creatures peer out of the windows.
It is strikingly similar to a series of UFO-themed pieces from local artist and sign maker, Cameron Randy Brill. Brill says he’s sold a number of pieces from his “Landroid Loid” collection and acknowledges the saucer is likely his work but said he couldn’t say with any certainty which of his patrons could have put it in the demonstration garden, or how. Chatter on Facebook has many speculating the piece came from a “mothership” Monday night.
