Downtown Stamford has been invaded by visitors from outer space as part of a new art exhibit.

Thirty giant fiberglass space ships have landed at the Artist's Studio in Stamford for its upcoming summer sculpture exhibit.

Artists are applying the final touches on 8-foot tall rockets and UFOs  before they are placed around the streets and parks in the downtown area.

The 'out of this world-styled' ships will go on display beginning the first week in June and stick around until August before launching back into space. 

The exhibit is organized by the Stamford Downtown Special Services District.
