E.T. go home

It finally sold. Yes, the much acclaimed UFO style home in Chattanooga, Tennessee finally sold. The sale price. $135,000. Sounds like a cheap deal for an alien space ship.

The house has a retractable staircase that lowers to the ground. A neighbor says that feature came in handy for one former owner who was having an argument with her husband. She pulled up the stairway, drove her husband's truck underneath it so he couldn't get the stairs down and left him stuck inside.

The house is 38-years-old and has three bedrooms. And is actually just one of 96 in the world. The architect of the design, Matti Suuronen, is from Finland.

Here is a site dedicated to "finding" each of these 96 Futuro Homes around the Galaxy. Or at least the world.
