The UFO Inicident Alien on Battlestar Galactica

Interesting tidbit that VFX make up artist (and alien designer) David Ayres recently shared with me:

The UFO Incident Alien on Battlestar Galactica

Very cool find!

I used to love watching through Buck Rogers eps to see what Battlestar items showed up. Was interesting in the first couple eps of Buck's second season that their shuttle was the Galactica's shuttle... until they revamped Buck's original ship for the Searcher shuttle.

Maybe we should start a scavenger hunt topic where everyone finds screen shots of Battlestar items in Buck. Wonder how many times things were reused.

Joerg Zimmermann went through all the Buck Rogers with a very fine comb and found dozens upon dozen of costumes and props from Battlestar Galactica on Buck Rogers. I plan on publishing his article on that soon too.

MAD,

Gotta say, -- you've gone one fine website there.

All my best,

Thanks! Appreciate the compliment.

I'm currently adding more info and images to 3 articles I recently wrote on other aliens in "Saga":

David Ayres Battlestar Galactica Alien Designs

Craig Reardon Battlestar Galactica Alien Designs

Chris Mueller Battlestar Galactica Alien Designs

All these aliens were again reused on Buck Rogers (still have to add the screenshots of that to the Craig Reardon article).

I would be interested to see the props that cross over from BSG to Buck Rogers. I have seen all sorts of stuff recycled between the two which I found hilarious.

Hmmm... there's a thread about that somewhere... if not here, then at Blackstar Squadron.
