I WANT TO BELIEVE: Flying Saucer UFO from Atlantis Models


I WANT TO BELIEVE is another release in the Atlantis Models range of 5-inch flying saucers.

Mat Irvine: This Atlantis model is not intended to be a ‘real’ UFO. Instead, it depicts the flying saucer featured on a poster seen hanging in the basement office of Agent Fox Mulder, star of the hugely successful X-Files TV series.

As with other Atlantis five-inch flying saucer UFOs, this is a very simple kit, containing all of three components, the upper and lower hull, plus a flashing LED. There are another four parts for the stand.

The back of the box (below) has the very simple instructions. Note the stand has twice the number of parts as the saucer!


However, more interesting is the subject mattter. Although Mulder has always had a poster on his wall, over the series there were actually four or five different ones, the common features being a similar design, a UFO, and text that declares, ‘I Want to Believe.’

The first poster was made by the X-Files props department, backing up a storyline indicating that Mulder bought it at a local store. But it seems that the image used was copyrighted to a Swiss UFOlogist, Billy Meier, so was altered to avoid ownership issues.

The components (below) include a four-part stand, the two-part saucer, and generic flashing LED for after-sunset illumination. Note the card diorama backdrop moves the wording to the top of the image, whereas on the poster, it is at the bottom.


Billy Meier has made claims that UFOs are real, and has produced many images, purporting to prove it. However, most of his pictures seem to prove little more than one thing - that any photo of a UFO must be out of focus. Otherwise, the vast majority of his statements have been debunked.

The flashing LED installed (below). It pulses through red to orange, or from blue to green.


Personally, I reckon the poster UFO looks similar to the Testors Area 51 machine, released in 1995, two years after the first X-Files series aired. Alternatively, all the saucers are real!


The saucer in place (above, below). To more accurately match the poster, you could fix a rod through the backdrop, and suspend the craft in mid-air.


Scale stats
Atlantis Models: I Want to Believe UFO and diorama
Scale: 1:144
Parts: 6 including stand.
Also, diorama backing, and a flashing LED for nigh illumination
Assembled diameter: 130 mm (5 in)
Manufacturer’s ref: AMC1008

SMN note: This model may be an ultra-easy assembly job, but the finished result makes a neat addition to a sci-fi display shelf. The saucer is crisply moulded, and you can spray it any colour you like. Traditional silvery shades are probably best, but a Luftwaffe-style camo scheme would look good if you used it as an addition to a Luft 46 Haunebu collection. The Atlantis UFO is of glue-free Twist-Tite construction, though the stand requires assembling with cement.

Dr. Kevin Randle and Michael Horn's Billy Meier Debate Fiasco and Upcoming Exposé

Cancellation of the Proposed Dr. Kevin Randle - Michael Horn Billy Meier Debate


 CEO cancels proposed broadcast debate due to unethical and unprofessional blogs and statements by Michael Horn, North American media representative for Swiss UFO contactee and prophet Billy Meier.

 Due to the unprofessional, unethical and immature way that Michael Horn has been attacking Dr. Kevin Randle, a man who has served his country twice, and who has always been a gentleman, professional author, media personality, friend, voice of reason in the UFO community, and host of our XZBN network broadcast show, "A Different Perspective,"

I am cancelling the proposed debate which was to air throughout our radio broadcast networks other divisions of REL-MAR McConnell Media Company.

As a professional member of the media, we do not and will not promote or condone the tabloid journalism and the disrespectful manner in which Dr. Kevin Randle has been attacked and slandered.


Whether one is a believer or a skeptic, it is this type of grandstanding and immaturity that is detrimental to the UFO community and if in fact, by his actions, Michael Horn has done more to discredit the claims of Billy Meier.

To counter the "pro" Meier show in which Michael Horn was able to present his side of the Meier story, Dr. Kevin Randle will be given the opportunity of presenting the "con" Meier side of this very controversial UFO / ET Case, along with a number of selected guests to discuss the Meier alleged UFO sightings, contact and prophecies. The shows that feature the Meier story will be featured on all our channels, affiliates, and international distributors and programmers.

Dr. Kevin Randle is a retired US Army lieutenant colonel who served combat tours as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam and an intelligence officer in Iraq.  He has been studying UFOs for nearly fifty years. He has investigated some of the most famous UFO cases including the Levelland sightings and series of sightings over Washington, D.C. in 1952. He has been consulted for dozens of documentaries about UFOs and has made presentations to dozens of colleges and other organizations. He is considered one of the leading experts into the Roswell UFO crash of 1947. He had written more than 25 books about UFOs including the recently published Roswell in the 21st Century. Dr. Randle is the host of the very popular "A Different Perspective Radio Show," on the 'X' Zone Broadcast Network, a division of REL-MAR McConnell Media Company.

Please send your comments and thoughts to programming@xzoneradiotv.com. Any information that you have or questions you would like Dr. Kevin Randle to address in these programs, please send them to 20170911@xzbnradiotv.com.
