Rigs of Rods

There's... there's a UFO in the cache regen screen.

Really.

As the game regenerates the cache, a white dot appears to the side of the cache regeneration progress bar box.
This dot then begins to expand downward into an elongated oval that appears to be some kind of tractor beam.
Once the tractor beam has extended a fair bit, the main part of the flying saucer begins to come into view, which is silvery like that one in The Day the Earth Stood Still. (Not the new one; the new one sucked. The old one. Though that one was in black and white so for all I know the saucer was purple. I don't think the film would have been as good if the saucer had been purple.)

Then a tan dot appears behind and slightly above the silver saucer, presumably the UFO's cockpit/bridge/control room or whatever you want to call it. There are no windows from what I have seen, so I cannot determine what is happening inside the saucer. The saucer then hangs there motionless until the cache is finished regenerating. It disappears behind the terrain selection screen, but reappears when the terrain loading screen is shown.
It does not display at any time during gameplay.

This sudden intrusion of alien beings into the game disturbs me. Who's to say that more won't come? How long will it be until a massive alien mothership hangs over Penguinville and then blasts it into oblivion like that scene in Independence Day that was really similar to that StarFox 64 level with that annoying dog guy who got really pissed off if you shot him by accident? How long before men in black suits come to take tdev and Aperion away? They may have already gotten to Pricorde, if his lack of recent code contributions are any indicator.(!)

This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed now, before anyone gets taken to CIA internment camps in the Mojave Desert without the writ of Habeus Corpus or adequate amounts of toilet paper to become part of unethical government experiments which probably cost billions of taxpayer dollars that ought to be spent on parks or help for the homeless or a big really cool laser or something.
