From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Unidentified flying object (commonly abbreviated as UFO or U.F.O.) is the popular term for any aerial phenomenon whose cause cannot be easily or immediately identified by the observer. The United States Air Force, which coined the term in 1952, initially defined UFOs as those objects that remain unidentified after scrutiny by expert investigators, though the term UFO is often used more generally to describe any sighting unidentifiable to the reporting observer(s). Popular culture frequently takes the term UFO as a synonym for alien spacecraft. Cults have become associated with UFOs, and mythology and folklore have evolved around the phenomenon. Some investigators now prefer to use the broader term unidentified aerial phenomenon (or UAP), to avoid the confusion and speculative associations that have become attached to UFO. Another widely known acronym for UFO in Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian is OVNI. Studies have established that the majority of UFOs are observations of some real but conventional object—most commonly aircraft, balloons, or astronomical objects such as meteors or bright planets—that have been misidentified by the observer as anomalies while a small percentage of reported UFOs are hoaxes. Only a small percentage of reported sightings (usually 5 to 20%) can be classified as unidentified flying objects in the strictest sense (see below for some studies). Some scientists have argued that all UFO sightings are misidentifications of natural phenomena and historically, there was debate among some scientists about whether scientific investigation was warranted given available empirical data. Very little peer-reviewed literature has been published in which scientists have proposed, studied or supported non-prosaic explanations for UFOs. Nevertheless, over the years UFOs have been the subject of many investigations that have varied widely in scope and scientific rigor. UFO reports became frequent after the first widely publicized U.S. sighting, reported by private pilot Kenneth Arnold in 1947, that gave rise to the popular terms "flying saucer" and "flying disc." Since then, millions of people have reported that they have seen UFOs. From Wikipedia under the

I have seen a few, but all but one of them were what I think was weather ballons. Weather ballons are what most see. A weather balloon is shiney and round. But one time during the Hurrican Katrina storm I was riding my motorcycle 50 miles home and looked up an saw this cigar shaped object. It was silver looking and just hovering there, then it moved very fast and was in front of me and then dissapeared and then reappeared and moved again fast then just went straight up until it was no longer there. This is the only time I believe I have seen something from another world. As far as I know we do not have any craft like this.Also although I was in East Texas and Katrina was not as strong as it was in New Orleans, we had no air craft flying… [cont.] Answered by SWT - Tue Apr 24 07:42:21 2007 Do you belive in UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) & Alien ? Q. Give ur views about UFO & Alien. Asked by Avi - Thu Mar 30 09:31:29 2006 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. I do believe it. For one, the universe is absolutely massive and there are billions upon billions of solar systems that we have not discovered. Are we so conceited to believe that WE are the only intelligent species in a universe where there are billions of planets? The probabilities are extremely high that there are a number of other intelligent species. We just haven't found a means to detect them or communicate with them yet.
