Visitors From Outer Space (Introducing New "Reflection" Building Technique)

In the near future an extraterrestrial civilization is going to make itself officially known to the general public for the first time in modern history. If we're ready to do it right, this epochal event will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity for all of mankind. The crucial question will be: Are we ready? This model depicts the imminent arrival of two off-world vehicles over a big city in Western Europe.

What would you do if you were the first to meet the visitors from outer space?

My build introduces what I call the "Reflection" technique - a brand-new LEGO building technique which makes use of the reflective surface of LEGO pieces (especially black tiles) to purposefully create a 3D effect for adjacent objects "inside" a flat surface. By using this mirroring technique in my model, the reflections on the black tiles (representing space) make the two half-built UFOs appear "fully built" or "piercing through the background".
