Aliens i naus

"I was staying in Fortaleza, in the north of Brazil, in a dune area protected from construction, and one afternoon, around four o'clock, I went for a walk. I was on a high enough dune to be able to see the horizon better and, while I was looking at the landscape, I started to draw. Suddenly, I realised that, not far from me, there was a kind of ship, which seemed to be suspended in the air, without touching the ground". (Robert Llimós)
