 Out of This World Homes Are you looking to buy a “different” kind of house? If you love outer space stuff and don’t mind gawkers, this flying saucer home can be yours for a mere $100,000.00. Set in Chattanooga’s Signal Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the house goes up for auction March 15th. Built by the late Curtis W. King, the house boasts three bedrooms and two baths. Bonus feature - with the push of a button the entrance staircase lowers and retracts. Aliens welcome.  John Kleeman of Litchfield, Conn., an attorney and space culture enthusiast, said he knows of variations of the flying saucer design in Florida, Connecticut and California. The flying saucer designs popped up about the time of the moon landings. "That's when all the excitement was," Kleeman said.
The Chattanooga home's unusual shape — sort of like two white Frisbees pasted together — poses some interior decorating challenges. The curve of the exterior creates a sloping ceiling and short side walls, but there's also a striking curved bar and a custom bathtub.
