Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Some aliens want to make a grand entrance. This trope marks the tendency for fleets of mile-long alien spaceships to ominously hover, several hundred feet over the world's cities without doing very much. It usually means the start of an Alien Invasion but it can be subverted. Expect shots of shadows washing over cities like a tide, awe-stricken people looking upwards and Jitter Cam footage of the ships over every major city. Five Rounds Rapid against them will be useless while their Wave-Motion Gun will be devastating when they decide to use it. Absolutely no Midair Bobbing ever. Quite inexplicable as not only would it expend vast amounts of power and present a big target but by Newton's Third Law, crush everything underneath it. Perhaps it's because Power Floats or because ships float in the sea and Space Is an Ocean, but it also adds to the menace: how can something that big hang in the sky without making a furious amount of engine noise and disruption? Clearly, they must be fearsomely advanced, and the Puny Humans defenses will be nothing to them. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It nearly always occurs 20 Minutes in the Future by Higher-Tech Species and is never inverted. Probably because humans are too polite. See also Floating Continent and Ominous Floating Castle. Examples: |

Wonder Woman (2006): The Citizenry's giant spaceship comes to hover over Washington DC and then projects a dome force-field in preparation for slaughtering the locals, and forcibly conscripting anyone tough enough to survive. Their plan goes awry as both Wonder Woman and Achilles are in town, in addition to Steve Trevor who grabs Diana's advanced jet to fight with and Etta Candy who grabs a gun and reinstates the DEO early to help on the ground. | |

Battle Beyond the Stars. Sador flies his Mile-Long Ship low over the Akirans, blacking out their city to provide a backdrop for his Huge Holographic Head when he's threatening to destroy their planet unless they let him plunder it. He follows up his message by having his snipers kill a few of his audience at random, just to show he means business. | |

RWBY: In Volume 3, Atlas sends three airships and a sizable military contingent under the command of General Ironwood to Beacon Academy to help provide additional security during the Vytal Tournament. Ozpin is unhappy with this arrangement, because he fears the people will see all of this security, and begin to wonder what the authorities are trying to protect them from. When Beacon and the City of Vale are attacked at the end of the season, Atlas's highly mechanized force is turned against the humans due to a computer virus planted by Cinder earlier in the season. | |

The pilot of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has Captain Pike violating the Prime Directive (technically, General Order 1, as the name "Prime Directive" will be given to it only at the end of the episode) in order to force two factions on a pre-warp planet to make peace before they destroy one another. When the president refuses to listen, he orders the Enterprise into the atmosphere, and the shocked natives see the starship floating above them, giving them a sense of perspective. Pike avoids court martial because the natives were already interfered with when their telescopes picked up the Battle of Xahea at the end of season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery and used that knowledge to build a warp bomb. Since anything having to do with Control and the Discovery is classified, Starfleet can't acknowledge Pike's violation without revealing the coverup. | |

Rogue One: An Imperial Star Destroyer hovers over the holy city of Jeddha. Saw Guerrera's Partisans have been causing so much trouble for Imperial cargo shipments in the city that this was what the Imperials deemed necessary to try and keep things in control. The truly ominous part, however, is when the Star Destroyer pulls away from Jedha - as per imperial policy, when The Empire suddenly pulls out of an occupied planet, it means that something really bad is about to happen... | |

The first few minutes of the Defiance pilot shows the Votan Ark fleet descending from orbit. The shots focus on a teenage boy in a park looking up as a huge ship breaks through the cloud cover. The story then cuts to 33 years later. The ending of the pilot flashes back to the arrival scene to reveal that it took place in St. Louis (the titular town stands on the ruins of that city), and that the boy was the protagonist Nolan, who finally returns home. | |

Star Trek: First Contact does a subtle version of this, twice. First, Geordi points out the Enterprise in a telescope to Dr. Cochrane, unaware that she's being taken over by the Borg. Later, the shadow of the Enterprise falls ominously across the Phoenix during her warp flight. Again, nobody on board is even remotely aware of the danger she poses, having been at that point abandoned by her crew and solely populated by Borg (except for Picard and Data). | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM): Despite what the trope page says, this is an inversion of the trope: Dr. Robotnik is a human, and his Cool Spaceship, the Destroyer, wipes out nearly everyone in Mobotropolis - a city populated entirely by Mobians. The Destroyer itself seems to be a gigantic floating roboticizer: as it passes overhead, everything underneath it is either instantly killed or transformed into machinery and infrastructure as if by Grey Goo. | |

Stargate SG-1 does this at least once a season. A few notable instances are: Inverted in "Thor's Chariot", where said Asgard flagship Beliskner appears and performs a Gunship Rescue against Heru'ur. "Scorched Earth" plays it straight. The entire plot of the episode revolves around convincing the Ominous Floating Spaceship not to terraform a resettled civilization out of existence (not that the AI commanding it wants to, it's just too far into the process to start again somewhere else, so stopping would doom the species in hibernation on board). Anubis's mothership over the capital of Kelowna on Jonas Quinn's homeworld of Langara. Less suspenseful for the viewers, as there no doubt that Anubis wants to invade, but true for the people of Kelowna, who have never seen a Ha'tak before. This isn't an ordinary Ha'tak (which has a pyramid shape) but a much larger circular mothership. Inverted in the episode "The Lost City", with the USS Prometheus floating over our heroes. In this case, defending them from Anubis's forces. Another episode involves a Show Within a Show called Wormhole Xtreme! when a Human Alien ship descends through the clouds right where the show is being filmed. The creative director (who originally came on that ship) tells the cameraman to keep shooting. Everybody else just assumes the ship is a special effect, a few stagehands even pulling a Your Costume Needs Work on it, claiming they'll fix it up with CGI. |

In Kirby Air Ride, one of the more awesome events in City Trial warns you that "A mysterious flying craft is approaching!"note which is your cue to haul buttcheeks to the volcano to access the Sky Island, and prepare to drop down at the right moment. Then the Destrayer from Kirby: Right Back at Ya! slowly flies over the city, making an unnerving high-pitched droning noise but otherwise doing nothing dangerous at all. On top of it are tons of power-up patches, including at least one All Patch in the center. | |

Shown in a series of child drawings in the pilot of Falling Skies. The alien ships appeared in this manner, hovering over cities and not doing anything. The world governments refused to strike first, as they weren't sure about the aliens' intentions. Then the aliens made any attacks impossible by using EMP to shut down most complex technology on Earth and wiped out all cities, and a sizable percentage of the population. | |

Purposely subverted in Star City. The Ba'ren has eight huge starcrafts as part of their Earth Mission, along with countless smaller spacecrafts. However, their diplomats only allowed two of the starcrafts to come to Earth and limit them to orbit the planet at long distances so that they do not scare the humans. Ba'ren scientists complain about this policy as they need to be closer to Earth to study the planet. Ba'ren military fightercrafts are banned by the diplomats from even approaching Earth orbit. In "The Test", the fact that the Guards violated this ban made their action suspicious to Sepporinen and his companions. |

The Phoenix Lights incident is an alleged real life example. On the night of March 13, 1997 thousands of Arizonans, including the governor of Arizona saw a massive mile-wide unidentified flying object over the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. [flash] That was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus. | |

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Blink of an Eye", Voyager gets stuck in orbit above a planet on which time moves differently: days pass for Voyager while from the surface it appears to hover for millennia. Complicating matters is the fact that Voyager's presence is causing quakes. Initially the society restructures its religion around "The Sky Ship", and then, as its technology improves, tries to contact it. The planet eventually gets to the point where it can't survive any more quakes and attacks Voyager. An astronaut is able to make it to Voyager, learn its true nature and return (decades having passed on the planet) to convince his people to pursue a peaceful solution. | |
