Lately, I’ve been checking for Gulliver’s UFO each time I start up the game. In a previous comment, Drago said that if it’s a UFO day, it will appear the first time the last digit of the clock hits 2 or 7, as long as you’re outdoors.
I started up the game at 6:00 p.m. today, and I grabbed my slingshot and stood by the gate. However, 6:02 came and went with no sign of the UFO. But I checked again at 6:07, and there it was! I fired my slingshot and hit it on my first attempt!

It crash landed in the eastern part of town, just a bit north of town hall.

This is my 2nd UFO that I’ve shot down in Wild World (though I’ve shot down more than 30 in ACCF). I woke up Gulliver and he thanked me for rescuing him (though I didn’t actually drag him out of the wreckage like he thought).

He asked me to find the missing parts of his ship, and of course I agreed to help out. The five pieces were scattered around town.

When I visited Mathilda, I saw that she was all packed up and ready to move out! She’s been my least-favorite villager in town for quite a while (although I don’t hate her), so I did not try to stop her.

Rolf wanted to sell me a mystery item for 3,000 bells. I told him I wasn’t interested, and he angrily said maybe he wasn’t interested in me.

Margie then asked me to buy a blue retro shirt for 410 bells. That’s a more reasonable price, so I bought the shirt…and put it on.
The last UFO part was causing me some trouble, but I eventually found it. So I took all five pieces back to Gulliver, and he rewarded me with some plate armor…which I put it in my house.

Even though Wild World is about 16 years old and I’ve had my town for nearly five years, my UFO hunting is just getting off the ground. I will continue checking for the UFO each time I play; Gulliver and I will meet again!
