The Mars Satellite, also known as UFO or Green Light UFO[1], is an unmanned UFO-like satellite used by the Martians in Metal Slug.

The remotely controlled spacecrafts are a faster variant of the Mini-UFO, the Martian spacecraft. They attack by firing a laser beam from their bottom, which takes some time to charge but cross the screen at an impressive speed. Unlike the Mini-UFO, they aren't able to warp.
