I saw plans for a UFO detector once, although I cannot recall where; the
premise was that UFOs mung up the local magnetic fields, so you can detect
one by wiring an ordinary magnetic compass to an alarm. As the UFO passes
over, the needle deflects from its ordinary north-south orientation and trips
the alarm. Then the Men In Black take you away as you rush out the door with
your camera.

Then there was the gizmo that you put a photograph in and turned some knobs
to "tune in" the Etheric Vibrations and cause something to happen to the
object(s) pictured in the photo... Really Bad Stuff was supposed to happen if
put a negative in the box instead of a positive...

Then there's G. Pat Flanagan's Neurophone/Dolphin Communicator and, of course,
Pyramid Power...
