Flying Discs





Flying discs are a name assigned to unidentified flying objects known as UFOs. The name flying disc or flying saucer was invented in late 1940´th when there were reportings of flying saucer shaped objects. The term soon became poplar and the numbers of sightings increased drastically the following years and other names like the flying pie plate or the half moon shape flying object were also used.
The common belief of how alien spacecrafts looked like became very standardized around that time (primarily in the 50’th). Aliens were mostly believed to be Martians and their spacecrafts would be metallic disc shaped with running lights all the way around them. This was also the way UFOs were illustrated in comic magazines and in movies and the flying saucers were surrounded with mystery and stories. Later the flying discs or flying disk have been replaced by more advanced spacecrafts in movies and magazines. Therefore the flying saucer is mostly used ironically now days as a nostalgic view back to the 50’th.
But actually the disc shaped UFOs are not just a 1950’th phenomenon it goes way back. All the way back to the middle ages when saucer shaped objects were illustrated in biblical texts. It is not known if those illustrations have a deeper meaning or if they are indeed real flying saucer sightings.
Many believe that the flying discs are a part of human imagination, but despite of the lack of proves of their existence authorities have never ignored the fact that they actually might be real. Already in the 40th the air force began investigating UFOs and the many flying disc reportings. Those investigations with a professional assigned staff were a part of the air force up until the 70th. The case that enjoyed most attention from the public was the one from Roswell where the air force said they had found a flying disc which they stored in an old barn.
The flying saucers have inspired humans in different ways. People have always been fascinated by the disc’s manoeuvrability and there has been invested a lot of money in manufacturing real flying discs that could transport a human being. The army has been very interested in inventing high technology flying saucer shaped vehicles that could replace the jeep and the helicopter. But so far none have succeeded in producing any flying discs that could lift itself more than a few feet from the ground. Attempts on making unmanned flying discs have been more successful, now days mostly known from the toys category like the remote control flying saucer.
In spite of the fact that more people carry cameras like the cell phone cameras and digital cameras fewer flying disc sightings have been reported lately. It could be interpreted as the decreasing popularity of the flying saucers, but it could also be explained because of the many technologies we possess today that can reveal fake photos. Today UFO pictures are analyzed and mostly revealed as fake or just explainable (like natural hoaxes, clouds, birds, planes, balloons and so on), but that being said many photos have never been proven fakes.
