Surveillance camera footage showed the craft being loaded on to the back of a truck by three men.

When New Mexico authorities finally found the model it turned out that the perpetrators had broken it in to pieces and left it dumped in the middle of nowhere."We're sad, we thought maybe we would get it back in one piece but doesn't look like it; its in several pieces," said the museum's interim director Karen Jarmaillio.

It still isn't clear who the thieves were or what they were hoping to achieve by stealing the model.

On the plus side, the museum is planning to replace the saucer with a new one in the near future.
