Unidentified flying object

INUSE

Unidentifed Flying Objects or UFOs are anything that flies that can not be identified. UFOs sightings are classified according to shape, type and distance from the observer. UFOs were also known as Flying Saucers after Associated Press reporter Bill Bequette that the objects behaved like a rock or saucer. This was in reference to airplane pilot Kenneth Arnold's 1947 UFO sighting. A headline writer coined the term Flying Saucer and the name stuck. The objects Arnold reported were crescent, not saucer, shaped but the name Flying Saucer was used to describe them.
