UFO is a metal sculpture located in a park within the Medzi jarkami housing estate, in the Podunajské Biskupice district of Bratislava. It has been embraced by several generations without being associated with any particular ideological context. Around 2008, the sculpture was slated for removal due to its deteriorating condition; however, following public protests—especially from local residents—the district decided to restore the piece, which was eventually carried out in 2014.
