Unidentified flying object (commonly abbreviated UFO) is a popular term for any aerial phenomenon that is not readily identified. Research by military and civilian groups shows that after investigation UFOs are generally identified either directly or by applying Occam's Razor. Therefore some, such as the USAF, who originally coined the term in 1952, define UFOs as only those objects remaining unidentified after scrutiny by expert investigators, while other definitions call something a UFO from the time it is first reported as being unidentified.

In addition, in popular culture the term UFO is often used as a synonym for alien spacecraft, although alternatively an anomaly may be classified as a UFO independently of opinion as to its origins. Because of these different meanings that have become associated with UFO, some investigators now prefer to use the broader term Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (or UAP).

Some studies have established that only a tiny percentage of reported UFOs are hoaxes. The majority of reports indicate something real, perhaps appearing anomalous, but most of these represent honest misidentifications of conventional objects such as aircraft, balloons, or astronomical objects such as meteors or bright planets. This leaves a small percentage, usually between around 5-15%, of genuinely unexplained sightings which form the core of the UFO mystery.

Modern reports and the first official investigations of UFOs began during World War II with sightings of so-called foo fighters by Allied airplane crews, and in 1946 with widespread sightings of European "ghost rockets". UFO reports became even more common after the first widely publicized United States UFO sighting, by private pilot Kenneth Arnold in mid 1947 (which gave rise to the popular terms "flying saucer" and "flying disc"). Since then, millions of people believe they have seen UFOs and tens of thousands of such reports have been cataloged.

  • Is that Santa?

  • You did a good job. You can't see the string or the fishing pole the "UFO" is attached to.

  • This is not a UFO. Its a flying fat person

  • It must be nice to see one, who cares if nobody believes you, the experience would be inspiring. Though the person who made this video did not do the filming. You can always tell by the choice of music used. It is not inspired.

  • I'm an ex military pilot. I've seen a UFO, and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they exist. The question is are they alien or are they from here? Hope I live long enough to find out!!
