Meaning and Interpretation
🛸 Alright, let's break this down. The flying saucer is basically the internet's go-to emoji for all things alien and extra weird. Think sci-fi movies, wild conspiracy theories (looking at you, Area 51), or just saying something is so out there it's like it came from another planet. You can use it when you're talking about a wild story that sounds fake, when you feel totally disconnected from reality, or when you're just super into space stuff. It's your visual shorthand for 'that's wild,' 'I want to believe,' or 'my brain is in another galaxy right now.'
