Greetings eric,

Haven't seen any tutorials on creating a UFO (realistic or otherwise). However, this seemed like a fairly easy effect to create (at least initially).

Try this:
1) Create a New Document (800 x 800, 72dpi, BG: White)
2) Create a new empty layer above the background layer.
3) Using the Marquee Elipse Tool, draw an elipse the size of your UFO.
4) Set this layers Styles to Bevel and Emboss with these settings:

This should give you a basic UFO disk.
You can then duplicate the layer and reduce the disk size (placing it behind the large disk) to add tiered levels.

Play and tweak it for more realism.
Here's what we did in about 15 minutes with it.

This was a interesting question. Realistic UFO...if UFO's doesn't exist, can they still be realistic? I am not asking this just to be irritating, but I think that a realistic UFO is perhaps looking as an out-of-focus blob on a B/W photo.

This could be quite interesting to have a go at. How to make a fake photo of a UFO. Maybe a contest
