An unidentified flying object lands in the pastoral town of Reading, Connecticut, about 60 miles from downtown Manhattan.
But the 3,100-square-foot wonderland is a rare geodesic home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, central air conditioning, and a viewing dome that offers 360-degree views for stargazing.
This home is up for sale for the first time in half a century for $950,000.
Raymond Noren, an eccentric multi-millionaire and millinery heir, built the Raymond Noren in 1978, modeled after futurist Buckminster Fuller's 1970s House on Earth Ship. When Noren died last year, he left the dome to longtime musician friend Hal Lefferts.

Lefferts, who worked on the dome years ago, told the Post he inherited the treasures left in the dome, including a 500-pound 15th-century Buddha head.

“There has been a lot of interest, especially from millennials who are interested in the country and don't want to make any changes,” the agent said.
In the early 1970s, futurist Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller popularized the radical spherical design. Once upon a time, the domed house concept was built around a natural system of people and trees, with a central trunk or spine where everything hangs independently, using gravity instead of drag.
Fuller, who died in 1981, believed the concept meant freedom and that a geophysical bath could be built anywhere. The US military has even tested this concept.
As for Nore, he's enlisted a group of friends and craftsmen, who his brother calls "talented weed-smoking hippies," to help build the one-of-a-kind structure.
"My brother thought it was cool to build a geodesic dome because he was scared of Buckminster Fuller," said attorney Ronald Noren, four years his brother's junior. “And over time, most of his life, my brother worked on his knees. It was a very, very long process.

“It was constant work with all this beautiful woodwork and carving,” his brother said. "Almost everything in the house is custom made. The woodwork in the house is just amazing. And there's a lot of Asian influence, just her take on what she wanted. Even things like the curtains were handmade."
"I don't remember what I saw in that house. It was all custom made…it was just a big deal. If my brother hadn't died, he'd still be in this dome. Either way, go first.
