I believe the answer is:

saucer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'alien craft?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for saucer that I've seen before include "Piece of crockery, maybe flying" , "flying, perhaps?" , "Item of crockery" , "part of the service" , "Piece of crockery; may fly?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
