yes i did orig, but it says nothing on what effect it has, only says on wiki, a bit about the sound it makes when appearing.

Oh, that's a bit creepy. Never even thought about putting mine away. Actually, I made a small shrine for it. It just seemed to me that's what it wanted @.@

I just got a 2nd one now in fall year 2. they must have upped the drop rate, most all info i see online is purely about how hard it is to get.

That was indeed changed in 1.5 for both the owl statue and the weird alien capsule. They are not as rare as they used to be.

Anyway i don't get why they would be such rare event since they are absolutly worthless... at least the meteorite gives resources.

ya, in most of my other saves i had a metor at least 2 times by winter year 2.

This save, Beach, i havent had a single one yet. But i have had the fairy bless crops 2x, a weird spawn of like a dozen blue slimes on the dock near the south exit, the capsule, and 2 owls, other than these i havent had any yard events outside the gaurenteed ones.

I wonder if it is somehow a reference to the owl in the Zelda series? I wanted to shoot that owl sometimes o.o I also don't like the weird spooky wind that plays during the night when it appears in SV.

I assume that's supposed to be the sound of wings beating the air, since it's a bird?

[ChrillBill]

Maybe, but I don't recall it sounding like wings beating air o.o

I did the same thing. Thought they looked nice by Grandpa's shrine :)

Am in end of Spring Year 2, already got 2 owl statues and 1 alien capsule.
The owls are in my deco storage box (didn't notice them coming out of it? though maybe because the storage box is squeezed inbetween greenhouse and house).

The alien capsule .. I didn't touch it cause it does that bobbing animation that usually means something is being 'produced'. Though I did clean up the space around it a bit and .. enclosed it in an about 10x10 stone wall - with no entry or exit. If anything comes out of that capsule, I want it contained and not running around doing who knows what ... maybe should also install some slingshots with bomb ammo on top of the walls :|

IIRC, one day the sprite will change to show broken glass, as if something busted out, but nothing will spawn on your farm or change in the game world. It's actually pretty spooky xD Like, you know SOMETHING got out, but we'll never know what that something is.
