Just select the "UFO" skill game from the single player event list.
Now steer the UFO to the right, past the finish line, until you reach a tall building. Once you reach this building, slow down, and descend into the "chimney". If you don't make it down within the first 30 seconds, the light will turn from green to red, and you will die as you enter, keep this in mind.
To slow down just push the opposite way that you are travelling.
Once down the chimney, slowly "feather" (tap accelerator) and steer your way through the little maze, landing on the pad at the end of this section.
Wait a few seconds and the achievement will then unlock.

I crashed just before hitting the landing pad, but my wreckage landed on the pad. After accepting the level complete the cheevo popped. Thanks for the guide!

you should mention that you dont have to actually land on the pad at the end. if you even just SLIGHTLY touch it, it will trigger the effects and give you the achievement, though it may throw you off a bit cuz you still have control of the UFO for a couple seconds, you only need to touch the landing pad

In single-player, select the Skill Game Circus and then choose the UFO challenge.
The challenge has you piloting a UFO, landing on markers scattered throughout the map. Ignore the markers entirely and fly to the far right of the map. You should eventually reach a large building with an open chimney at the top. This is located to the right of the final landing point.
Atop the chimney is a light that turns red and causes instant death after 36 seconds, so you need to get there before it turns red. If it's safe to enter, the light will be green.
Carefully float down the chimney and you'll reach a maze. Pilot the UFO through the maze without crashing and at the end you find a small platform to land on. Land on it and the achievement is yours after a few seconds and some fireworks.
Some tips:
1) Flutter the accelerator, never floor it. The UFO is aligned poorly and will tip to the right, so you need to keep adjusting your angle to remain straight. Fluttering the accelerator makes this much easier and will prevent crashing.
2) Take your time! There's no time limit you have to worry about once you get inside the chimney, past the red light. It's just a matter of being patient and not rushing. Very doable on your first try if you're careful, but it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with how the UFO handles before entering the maze.
[UPDATE: Thanks to those that pointed out about the light atop the chimney. Never ran into this issue myself, and you shouldn't either, so long as you go immediately to the chimney once the challenge starts.]

Make sure the chimney is lit green, not red. If it's red, you'll have to start over because it won't let you in (you explode).

I have made a video guide for this achievement so if you follow that correctly you should have the cheevo in no time, sorry my voice cuts out a bit through, I didnt say anything of importance though :)

Get to the chimney on the mini game U.F.O within 30 seconds, fly down it, get through the obstacles and land on the platform. Video below showing exactly how.
