Learn More About The Spaceship Drawing
A UFO or unidentified flying object is "any aerial object or optical phenomenon not readily identifiable to the observer."
The first UFO sighting of a "flying saucer" occurred in 1947, when a pilot reported several fast-moving objects. He described them as moving "like saucers skipping on water," and thus the flying saucer was born.
While sightings of unknown objects had been recorded throughout history, a rise in UFO sightings paralleled advancements in rocketry by the military during World War II.
Still, these sightings were investigated, most famously during Project Blue Book of the 1950s and 1960s. Upon investigation, only a small percentage remained "unidentified."
Most UFO sightings are due to natural phenomena, such as meteors, or even the misidentification of a man-made object. In some cases, lenticular clouds may be mistaken for flying saucers due to their shape.
The Fata Morgana is another phenomenon, a mirage in which objects on the distant horizon - such as a boat at sea - appear to be floating or flying just above the horizon.

Film and television did much to promote belief in alien spaceships. Early examples include Flash Gordon and The Day the Earth Stood Still. These were later joined by Star Trek, Star Wars, E.T.: The Extraterrestrial, Men in Black, Transformers, My Favorite Martian, and countless other works of fiction involving extraterrestrial life.
