   An AGA Amiga and some fast ram. It will run without but very slowly
   and the sound will be disjointed.
   System used was an A1200 with an 030/40mhz+16mb fast & 170mb HD. A faster
   system may execute it in fewer vertical blanks and affect the sound.
   To exit anim click left mouse button.

@node "How it works"
   Language used was Blitz Basic 2.1
   Every third frame of video was digitised using a Prograb 24rt then used
   as the backdrop picture along with the UFO in Imagine 4.
   These rendered frames are now 256 colours, in order to get more on the
   disk I wrote a program to cut them down to 128.(first 7 bitplanes)
   The final frame had the car removed via DPaint IV.
   The frames were then saved as a Blitz Basic shapefile
   Each 160*128 frame is enlarged straight from fast ram to the bitmap on
   the fly.(No blitter)
   Lastly the sounds were added using Technosound Turbo 2. The UFO was my
   tumble dryer and the Plasma burst was the cat!
