In 1988, Mark McCandlish created his original drawing of the A.R.V. (Alien Reproduction Vehicle) after discussions with his friend, Brad Sorenson, an aerospace designer and illustrator. Brad, due to his work with companies such as McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed, had clearance to attend displays of new aircraft. During a visit to Norton Air Force Base, he was guided by a military chaperone into an exhibit for which he did not have clearance.

As the curtain was drawn back, he saw three hovering craft: one with a 130-foot diameter, another with a 60-foot diameter, and a smaller one measuring 24 feet in diameter. A video showing the craft in flight played on a monitor, accompanied by information about its workings, which was explained in a detailed presentation.

This is my 3D recreation of the craft they described. I rebuilt it from the ground up, using measurements from the original sketches and information provided by Mark in his talks and videos.

To help bring Marks origonal illustration up to date I have rendered out a full colour varient.
