This is what it looks like, a Flying Saucer or UFO in the classic sense.
The only way to tell which direction it is pointing is the tops of the dual rudders, those are the rear of the saucer.
Flies nicely, a little nose up.
Will take off all by itself.
Landing gear vanishes when pulled up for that clean look.
Flashing lights and protective coloration (silver/reflective).
AG1 for a burst of speed, to hopefully outrun pesky fighters and missiles. AG1 to turn it off again.
EDIT: If you lose control, you can recover it, if you are high enough.
Throttle right back and it will slowly stop flipping.
When the flipping has slowed down enough, start adding power and pull the nose up and you will be back in control, hopefully.
No weapons on board as there haven't been any actual reports of a UFO firing on a human, at least as far as the general public knows anyway.
Besides, what sort of weapons would a UFO have on it?

Thank you. :)
Water takeoff is not doable, it DOES float, but it's nose heavy on water. lol
Most of the concepts in this come from another earlier build called "Fly Ball".
It just looks like a red and white ball, so it didn't attract much attention.

Heh, I have one or two books that would make a conspiracy theorist very happy, one of them being "Above Top Secret" by Timothy Good and another being "Cosmic Crashes" by Nicholas Redfern.
Lots of really interesting stuff in both books, especially Above Top Secret.
Of course I fully realize that a UFO would have weapons on it, even if they were for use vs spacejunk, but I've been putting weapons of various types on a lot my planes recently and figured it was time to give that a break.
No need for details here, beyond a few lights and things.
Every (classic) UFO I've ever seen in a movie is super smooth with either no or very very few joins visible, not even door lines until the door actually opens.
