During the Thing's final confrontation with Mac it obviously increased its bio-mass, surface area and volume to have the upper hand in the ensuing attack and unavoidably harsh outdoor climate. How it did so was by its ability to alter physique (and using the material of Garry, Nauls and the dead inert leftovers of Clark, Copper, Things etc.) |

| − | Exactly how it would "shrink" back down, if it intended to, or just detatch parts of itself to pilot the UFO is debatable. Possibly, both the mini UFO and the fullscale UFO would be used (assuming it was repairable) and the dog would be left to wander for good measure. |

Blair's UFO, as seen in The Thing (1982).
Blair's UFO is a miniature version of the spacecraft which brought the Thing to Earth. Constructed under the tool shed, the craft was secretly built by the Blair-Thing during its confinement there and was pieced together using components salvaged from station's helicopter and tractor. Appearing in the 1982 film The Thing, the craft was also featured in the 2002 video-game of the same name, where the player can discover it in the ruins of U.S. Outpost 31.
Background
The craft is discovered by MacReady, Garry, and Nauls when they travel to the tool shed to test Blair's identity using a blood test. However, once they reach the tool shed, the door is wide open and Blair is nowhere to be found. Lifting the floorboards, they discover a hole which leads to a hollowed out space under the tool shed. Surrounded by tools, there sits a partially-finished saucer-shaped craft. The men strap together several sticks of dynamite and roll it into the cavern, demolishing the vehicle and the building.
