First time I tried with version 1.2f, but I have just tried with versions 1.3, and 1.4* (I suppose this' the free one, isn't it? I've just downloaded it). I don't have the 1.3b version, so I can't try it. I can imagine something that Colin could have changed in that version that wouldn't allow you to see the flying saucer - a subtle change, which I would say he's been adjusting on many versions, and that's somehow related to our old friend, the depth buffer - but I find it highly improbable.
It may be, actually, a problem with your depth buffer, or with another aspect of your graphics card, but I wouldn't bet for that.
I think it could be that, in my explanations, it's not clear enough how tiny the flying saucer is shown on screen. The image of the small point is actually magnified; it's really, say, 4, 5, 6 pixels, or invisible, depending on your position and viewing angle. But as long as your "head" is moving, you should notice it, like sparkling, but VERY tiny.
Maybe it can be easier to spot using lower screen resolutions (i.e. bigger pixels). I've tried at 1280x1024 and 800x600, and I've seen it.
