Space aliens trick the unsuspecting astronomer in their own whimsical and mischievous ways as this cartoon is brought to life. We are left asking the question, are we really alone? Animation included the telescope moving up and down, then left to right. The large gears at the bottom of the telescope meshed together. The float driver and animator are exposed and in costume in the front flying saucer. The two smaller flying saucers are independent units that flew around the main float, their drivers are also exposed and costumed. The telescope needed to be in the down position in order to miss several obstacles along the parade.
