  This flying saucer shaped UFO is the home of retired industrial arts teacher Roberto Sanchez Rivera, 58, who built the house to prove to an ex-girlfriend that he could do whatever he put his mind to

  Built on an island not that far, far away, is a house - but not as we know it. That is because with its blinking, strobing, technicoloured lights, the metal saucer-shaped home of retired industrial arts teacher Roberto Sanchez Rivera, 58, is meant to look just like a grounded UFO.

Resting on the slopes of Juana Diaz in Puerto Rico, the otherwordly house exists only to prove a girl wrong after 40-years, and all because Rivera suffered the same fate of many geeks across the planet - he was dumped.
