UFO - Unidentified Flying Object: A UFO is an unknown object in the sky

that can't otherwise be explained. The UFO craze started with Kenneth

Arnold's sighting on June 24, 1947. While flying, Arnold witnessed about

nine unidentified objects by Mount Rainier. He estimated their speed at

around 1200 miles per hour, and he described them as moving like saucers

skipping over water. This is where the phrase "flying saucer" comes from,

but the objects were not described as saucer shaped. Nevertheless, it

hasn't stopped the widespread sightings of flying discs in the sky. The

long and twisted story of UFO's has found its way into popular culture and

is the basis from everything from conspiracy theories to new age beliefs

that a powerful shift in consciousness is on humanity's horizon. UFO's come

in many shapes and varieties: saucers, triangles, diamonds, orbs, flying

wings, flying humanoids, and clusters have all been used to describe this

world-wide phenomenon.
