The UFO was a room in Club Penguin owned by alien puffles. It was accessible by being randomly abducted in most outdoor rooms. When in the room, players could not move off of a small square platform (as nowhere but the spawn area was valid movement space), and would automatically be sent back to their previous room after a few seconds. This room appeared as the UFO Observatory during Operation: Crustacean, where players could move more freely.

History

The UFO first appeared on November 4, 2015, when the abduction feature was introduced and remained the same from this point onward until Club Penguin closed on March 30, 2017 (although abductions did not occur in some rooms during some parties, due to reusing code from previous years before abductions were introduced). Prior to November 18, 2015, Earth could be seen from the window of the UFO.

Although the UFO also appeared during Operation: Crustacean in Area 501, this was treated as a separate room from the normal UFO. Narratively the UFO was stationed in Area 501 and had its power source stolen by Herbert P. Bear, but abductions still occurred regardless. Later, after the Prehistoric Party 2016 ended and all rooms within Area 501 were removed, as the alien puffles flew away in their UFO due to their replacement power source, abductions still occurred and this room was still accessible. According to Gary the Gadget Guy, this was because alien puffles liked to visit Club Penguin occasionally to "beam up new friends".^[1]

Abductions

There were a total of 11 rooms from which penguins could be abducted. An abduction took place in a room once an hour, where each room had its own time in minutes for an abduction. When an abduction occurred, a green tractor beam appeared from the sky and lifted one random penguin in the room upward, and after a few seconds, they would be sent into the UFO for a few seconds. Upon being abducted for the first time, the player would receive the Tinfoil Hat, which was added to the player's inventory and replaced whichever head item they were wearing.

The abduction time in minutes can be expressed as 5n + 4, where n is 0 or a positive integer that is unique to a given room (in other words, starting at HH:04 and with intervals of 5 minutes). No room, however, had an abduction at HH:34. The following are times and the corresponding rooms where abductions would occur:
