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 hope this helps! Happy UFO spotting!

It is also easier to hit him with a golden slingshot. Good info to those who do not already know it. Another thing you should mention is that he come at xx:02 or xx:07 (replace the xxs with the hour you are playing. I found that info at site.

He comes when no other special vistor is in your town. So check every day with booker and say whats new. Then if he says something like I haven't seen anyone I will be more careful then thats the day that gulliver will come.

ARGH!
Just as I was reading this guide I heard that distinct whirring noise.
Looking down at my DS I noticed a flashing green speck in the sky and my heart leaped up my throat. As luck would have it, I was watering the flowers by the coast, somewhere in the middle of the beach line.
I raced upward after yanking out my slingshot, and just missed him as he passed over the eastern cliff face.
ARGH!

Lol.sketcher! Thanks for the info guys!
