To get you started on your UFO, here is a little tutorial on creating those aperture type doors :)
Step 1:
Create a 12 sided disc, make sure it's centered at the origin and bevel a few times, delete the disc once you have enough segments.
Step 2:
Select all the inner points and rotate as shown. Make sure your mouse cursor is at the origin and rotate as shown.
Step 3:
The reason I use the Multishift tool is to move the points slightly so they don't all share the same locations in space. Otherwise, when you merge points later on you'll have a mess on your hands.
Step 4:
Delete the the unwanted polygons and then stretch the selected points to create a nice tip for the blades.
Step 5:
Extrude the mesh to add thickness and edit the end points as shown, it should be easier if each set of blades were on a different layer....and you're done. Tthe rest of the UFO is up to you :)
