Futuro House arrives in Atlanta
[November 09, 2026]
On Saturday, November 7, a UFO
“landed” in Atlanta, Illinois in the grassy area behind the post
office.
This UFO is actually a Futuro House, which is shaped like a flying
saucer. A Futuro House website says, “the Futuro House was conceived
by Matti Suuronen in 1968 as a ‘portable’ ski chalet.” At one point,
close to 100 Futuro Houses were made, but sources say there are only
a few left today.
Inside these houses is a living area, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen
plus several pieces of furniture. In some locations, the houses are
used as Air BNBs.
Lee Woods of the American Giants
Museum has been searching for a Futuro House for years and recently
found one available in nearby Danvers.
On a recent social media post, Woods said, “we believe this may be
one of the very few Futuro Houses still preserved with its original
interior including the futuristic, space age furniture that made
these houses so unique back in the 1960s.”

Among those there for the arrival
of the house were men dressed in suits like the ones on “Men in
Black” and a couple with tin foil hats. Another man had a shirt from
Roswell, New Mexico with an alien on it. A green alien was peering
out one of the windows of the house.
Woods shared his plans for the
house with people there for its arrival and told them he plans to
leave everything inside mostly the same. He said the house will be
professionally cleaned plus have some touch-up painting. One of the
windows and the door will also need some repair, which will be done
by the ReGiant crew that restored the giants at the museum.
Once the Futuro House is in place on a concrete pad, Woods plans to
add indoor and outdoor lighting. Eventually, people will be able to
go inside the Futuro House and explore it.
