In the middle of nowhere… that thing (10 Photos)

Smack in the middle of Bulgaria is the Buzludzha Monument, the 'flying saucer'. At one time, it was one of the most celebrated monuments dedicated to communism. When communism bit the dust in Bulgaria, the edifice was abandoned. Something about this place screams paintball war.

    Oh no. Nothing phallic in the nature of the design…nope…just a big ole tower with a circular base…

    BOTY @ the Saucer!

    It was a space ship, MIB planted it there…

  16. And on the pedestal these words appear:
    “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
    Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away.

    communism always fails…as it will in America.

    • Guest says:

      You obviously do not know the definition of Communism. You must have gone to one of those American public schools (i.e. socialist).

    airsoft is better : P

    What a shame it’s been allowed to fall apart. That place looks really cool. I’m surprised sone rich person hasn’t bought it and turned it into a house. It had/has real potential for being an awesome abode. I don’t really understand how it was some sort of monument to communism, though…. It looks too *grand* and not as functional as I would expect.

    Check out the Valley of the Fallen in Spain, it centers around Socialism not Communism, but good none the less. Another dying edifice.

  21. Gus says:

    Do a Google Earth search for 'Bulgaria Buzludzha' and you'll zoom right to it. Make sure the terrain is on and look at the mountain from a low angle. Very cool.

    Ok Im thinking Halo

  23. tag says:

    That would make a sweet house – after redecorating of course. Very weird.
