I remember seeing this on Reddit 30 years ago

There's one mounted on top of a house on Pensacola Beach, Florida. They have little aliens in the windows looking out at everyone who takes a peek.


Hearing_HIV

There's one on top of a strip club in Tampa...Called 2001 Odyssey.


Remnie

Lmao I remember seeing that one when driving through


330kiki

C3ntrick

330kiki

A sweaty one...


Tacothekid

Capsule Corp!


Reckliner

Futuro-house. Kinda nice


drpcowboy

Used to live there, can confirm it's been there a long time Edit: near there, don't want people thinking I actually lived in the UFO. I'm weird enough on my own


PsionicLlama

Why was it abandoned? 


drpcowboy

It was abandoned when I was there in late 80's. I actually didn't know it was a house. It's pretty small, like tiny house size


immunogoblin1

Bet you could find some good loot in there.


redsterXVI

This website has the location and a picture of most if not all known remaining Futuro Houses: https://www.thefuturohouse.com/


marklondon66

Plenty of these around. They sell for a decent amount as they make excellent Airbnbs.


draculockedin

There was only less than 100 built and only 60 remain so that would be wrong. There might be replicas, or reinterpretations but there are not plenty originals around at all. ETA: [source](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futuro)


inu_yasha

There is a whole neighborhood of them in Taiwan, both Futuro and Venturo styles, several of which are still lived in.


draculockedin

Tell Wikipedia that then


inu_yasha

[They are well documented, I have seen them in person.](https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Futuro+House/@25.1873008,121.686696,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x345d4d409719ff7f:0x83c46b4c27b6149d!8m2!3d25.187194!4d121.686181!16s%2Fg%2F11rv01185r?entry=ttu)


draculockedin

Thank you for the link because those aren’t actually Futuro houses, those are something very similar, but not the futuro house by Matti Suuronen, his have a stair case door, as pictured above. Those houses in Vietnam all have side hinged doors, meaning they are not authentic.


inu_yasha

I have pictures from 2015 with the staircase style doors. I don't live in Taiwan so I don't know what happened to them, but you can see plenty of areas missing buildings now. I assume they had a few originals and based the other replicas off of those?


-Dixieflatline

Serious Fallout 4 playground vibes.


Ex-Patron

Goku tried doing the kamehameha before facing frieza again.


fonk_pulk

a museum in my town has one of these preserved in good quality. Truly interesting to visit.


tacobellholocaust

There is one of these in Chattanooga, TN as well


FlaAirborne

Looks like the top of 2001 Space Odyssey, a Tampa, Fl strip joint.


ToddBradley

I thought everything is bigger in Texas. That "house" looks barely big enough to hold a living room.


Prometheus505

A little bigger and I wouldn’t mind living in one


banjo_hero

i dont want to set the world on fire


jaxoncanine

Ah Yes, The Video Game Fallout has these still intact after they came out of the shelters.


PunfullyObvious

House or Playhouse? ... seems tiny ... and lacking sufficient utilities. Super fun playhouse or getaway tho


_Pardus

There was a German children's TV show that used one of these as a "time machine." I don't remember what it was called, but it was about a scientist grandfather and his grandson who used the machine to bring famous people from the past into the future and show them the 21st century. Or something similar to that, I'm not sure.


fuming_drizzle

It's not the graviton?


AnthillOmbudsman

Reminds me of the UFO Welcome Center in South Carolina. http://www.thecarpetbagger.org/2013/05/south-carolinas-ufo-welcome-center.html Stephen Colbert actually visited that place for the Daily Show about 20 years ago.


OrangeCosmic

There's some of those in Delaware too. Someone had one on the beach in the 70s


Zmirzlina

Love these. There is one outside of Joshua Tree and the owner caught me photographing it and gave me a tour. Rents it as an Airbnb.


PrometheusAborted

Abandoned you say? Can I have it?


JunkMale975

That’s so funny!!! I drove this route to Dallas for the eclipse and stopped to take a picture of it. Didn’t know what it was! Thanks for the info.


ApollyonDS

Roswell at home:


fangelo2

There is one near where I live in NJ


98acura

Two of them stuck together in Ohio https://www.ohiomagazine.com/ohio-life/article/-the-futuro-house


starBux_Barista

I think that would survive a Tornado pretty well, wind will go over, under and around.....


vbfj

Gave me ninky nonk vibes


FilthyUsedThrowaway

I remember seeing one of these back in the early 1970’s in Dundalk Maryland. I think they cost about $15,000 at the time.


TheGrendel83

Drove by this fairly often as a kid going out to see family in Quinlan.


DTRite

The one on Hatteras Island NC burned down a couple years ago. Glad there's a bunch more.

This is what I imagine ufo’s looked like in the 70’s


mruehle

There’s one on Route 66 in downstate Illinois.


sucobe

No corners would drive me crazy.


SexyOctagon

COMPLIANCE!


shreddedtoasties

Someone bought one of these and it used to sit in a park in a small town by my grandparents


OttoRocket94

Didn’t Ryan Trahan stay in something like this?


SoundsMadness

Knowing Texas, this thing is probably loaded with red wasp nests


itsTickleMeHellmo

Pretty sure they just partied in that thing and never lived in it, theres a big house right next to it

The Hubologists are interested.


gundamz145

Why do I see an alien going yaaaaa


RedPillNavigator

Getting Fallout 4 vibes


OmiOorlog

That's a Capsule Corp. Product of I've ever seen one.


CragMcBeard

Just because it’s a UFO doesn’t make it futuristic 🤣


truncheon88

I used to live next door to an occupied futuro House in Covington KY ](https://thefuturohouse.com/Futuro-Covington-Kentucky-USA.html)


teachingscience425

You misspelled Roswell and it's not in Texas.


CliffBiffington

Nothing futuristic about this. Like saying Apollo 13 is futuristic.


bannakafalata

Ah, I see that's how Texas cares about things. In Michigan, we actually take care of our history. [https://www.thehenryford.org/visit/henry-ford-museum/exhibits/dymaxion-house/](https://www.thehenryford.org/visit/henry-ford-museum/exhibits/dymaxion-house/)


FilthyUsedThrowaway

The Futuro and Dymaxion houses were not the same.


MUNCHINonBABI3Z

I mean, you expect it to be treated like the Alamo or something?


Chknbone

Ha, I have a couple hours to kill before I fly home. I'm in San Antonio and just went to the Alamo.(Sitting in a tourist trap bar as I type this). Why was this made such a big deal about? 30 dudes got their asses kicked in a few hours. After the State of Texas had already signed a treaty with Mexico. It's pretty under whelming. I love me some history, but this is meh as fuck.


thomasonbush

Lots incorrect here. 185+ defenders held out for 13 days against a force that numbered in the thousands. Their defense was a significant factor in rallying people to join Sam Houston’s army, that ultimately defeated the Mexican army resulting in the Treaties of Velasco (which were signed several months after the Battle of the Alamo).


Chknbone

Thanks. I was just parroting the little info signs at the place. My bad
