GULLIVER'S UFO: Random Weekday (Mon-Fri) 6AM-12PM

In Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Gamecube, Gulliver (after Swift's Gulliver's Travels) would wash up once a week on the shore of your village. If you spoke to him, he would reward you with a knick-knack he had acquired in his travels. As in the prior game, Gulliver gives away exclusive items. This time, however, he's graduated from a small time sailor to an astronaut. Speak to Booker to find out what days Gulliver's been sighted. If Booker says that Gulliver has been sighted recently, during the day you will sometimes see a UFO fly through the top screen of your Nintendo DS (On minutes ending in : x4). Gulliver is in this UFO, and if you shoot him down fast enough with a slingshot (we recommend that you be close to the top of the village to do so successfully) he will send you out on a quest to retrieve parts for his spaceship. If you help Gulliver out, he will reward you with a number of artifacts.

Nintendo Power listed an inventory of the items Gulliver gave out in their Official Guide to Animal Crossing: Wild World, but notably left out one item internet users found very quickly. Gulliver can give out an unlisted Metroid (from the Metroid games) which is part of a four-piece Nintendo set. For a full listing of Gulliver items, consult the chart below:

Arc de Triomphe
Matryoshka
Moai Statue
Tower of Pisa
Chocolates
Merlion
Mouth of Truth
Tribal Mask
Compass
Mermaid Statue
Pagoda
Manekin Pis
Metroid
Plate Armor

I'm going to sticky this thread. In my case, Gulliver went by on the 7's though.

Gulliver has also been known to go by on the 2's as well.

I missed him, reseted, missed him AGAIN, resetted again, now I wonder if he will come again. So please, tell me if he will come again.

PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU! IVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 2 YRS, HAVE SEINE HIM 6 TIMES AND HAVE NEVER SHOT HIM DOWN!!!!

I hardly ever to never see him.

His appearances are totally random, and I only shot him down once and I had the Golden Slingshot. Even then, I just barely got him. Heres what happens:
You shoot him down, and the screen says something like, "an unidentified flying object has landed in (your town)" then you find his ship, talk to him until he wakes up, go find five gear shaped things in your town and give it to him. Sorry if I spoiled it for you
Anyway all he gave me was an arc de triumphe and it's not that great

Well I have a question about Gulliver.

Does he come when pattern mats are on your town?

Also I got a Manekin Pis from him

A UFO flew by the aft in my town, and I was wondering what the point of it was? Now I have my answer! However, how come it says from 6 AM to 12 PM, Monday to Friday and the UFO flew by between 3.30 & 4 PM? Anyway, I didn't have time to shoot it down as I was too far away...Even with the golden slingshot! I will keep my eyes open for when it passes by again!

I haven't seen Gulliver on ACWW yet, but he is pretty common on the GC version.

Gulliver can come between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.. He always comes, if he's going to come that day, on the first xx: x7 or xx: x2 after you start up your game. Booker will say nothing about him. Pete always comes 2 days every week, and Redd comes once a week. You can only have 1 special visitor each day, besides Resetti, Blanca, and K.K. Slider. This means that, besides the weekly visitors, two special visitors can come each week.

Good to know. I'll keep an eye out for him in the coming days.

I have only shot him down 2 times and he never gave me the plate armor I was looking for. I got it on WiFi though. I gots nice friends.

Woot! First post.

I've been playing for 1 year and never seen Gulliver. Not Once!

I know i missed him today i was so annoyed because it was the first time i'd seen him.

Booker never mentions Gulliver..... What should I do???

You just need to look out for him, Booker isn't supposed to mention Gulliver, probably because he never knows when he'll fly over your town.

If you miss him, time travel back a day, and then go back to the day gulliver appeared, 30 minutes before he appeared last time.

I shot him down, like what, 7 times? : >

my sis shot him down a long time ago but she couldnt find all the parts of the space ship I hope he comes in my town if he does wish me luck on finding those parts

when I first got animal crossing and I was doing work for tom nook and I saw the space ship but I didnt have the slingshot I was so upset

I know! That happened to me!

When I shot him down ONCE, he gave me a Tribal Mask. What does the Manekin Pis do, anyway? Lots of people have mentioned him.

i have all the items from him, it's so much easier with the golden slingshot aswell.

Willing to sell any (or all) of these items to people just post in my discussion about my discount store. But personaly I wouldn't nuy them as it's fun to try get them yourself. But up to you.

This morning, at 6:27 a.m., Gulliver flew over my town. I missed him, so I reset my game, set the clock to yesterday, loaded my game, dealt with Resetti, save and quit my game, set the time to 6:08 a.m. today, loaded my game, and shot him down at 6:17 a.m.. For some reason he did not appear at 6:12 a.m., probably because he originally appeared on xx: x7. After I gave him all of his ship parts, he gave me the chocolates.

If your a girl doesn't Pelly send you an angry letter saying to stop shooting him down if you shot him down before?

No, she doesn't. However, there is a rumor that if you're a girl and you shoot down Pete a lot(?), Pelly will send you letters that say to stop shooting him down.

i saw him yesterday but i kept missing him with my slingshot !!!!

i saw a ufo but i was not able to shoot it down cuz my sling shot was in my house...
