The UFO story began shortly after 24 June 1947, when all newspapers across the USA, the first flying saucer report. The story of how nine very clear, disk-shaped objects were seen by Kenneth Arnold, of Boise, Idaho, businessman, while flying his private plane near Mount Rainier in Washington State . The license journalists, journalists transformed Arnold’s description of the different movements of various objects such as “a sub-cup Skipping on water” to “flying saucer”, a name for the objects themselves in the eight years that have passed since Arnold’s Se Housing unforgettable, the concept was so popular that there are now in Webster’s Dictionary, is now in most languages of the world.

For a time after watching Arnold the term “flying saucer” was the description of all data objects shaped disc have been seen by the flashing in the sky fantastic speeds. Long ago, reports were received by other objects such as hard disks, and they were also as in flying saucers. Today, these are the words from the mouth of any people seen in the sky, it can not be ascertained, a common, everyday object.

Thus, a flying saucer, a formation of lights, one light, a ball or any other form, and it can be any color. Performance wise, flying saucers hover can go quickly or slowly, go high or low is again 90 degrees corners, or disappear almost immediately.

Obviously, the term “flying saucer” is misleading when it comes to objects of any shape imaginable and performance. That is why the army pulls the broader, less colorful, name: unidentified flying objects. UFO (that is, Yoo-enemy) too short.

Officially, the army uses the term “flying saucer” in only two occasions. First, in a spirit of clarification, as is the case of sub-directorate of people who are unfamiliar with the concept of “UFO”: “You Know-UFO-flying saucers.” And secondly, in a sense abschätzigen, for the purposes of mockery, as if he observed, “He said he saw a flying saucer.”

This second form of use is the exclusive property of people who know how positive that all UFO’s are nonsense. Fortunately, in the interest of good manners, if for no other reason, namely the series in this category are constantly declining. One after another of these people drop out, starting with Instant they see their first UFO.

A few weeks after the first UFO was seen on June 24, 1947, the Air Force, a project for the study and analysis of reports of all UFO. The attitude vis-à-vis this mission are in a state of near panic, early in the life of the project, the complete disregard for all, once mentioned the words “flying saucer”.

This contemptuous attitude vis-à-vis the “flying saucer nuts” reigned from the mid-1949 until mid-1950. During that interval, many people, or was, under the project believes that the public has suffered from the war of nerves “.

In early 1950 the project for all practical purposes, was closed at the very least, it is estimated that a minimum of effort. The leaders reasoned that now, if you do not know the silence of the phrase “flying saucers” people have forgotten them and Saucers would go away. But that argument was wrong, instead of disappearing, the reports of UFO was better and better.

Airline pilots, military pilots, generals, academics, and dozens of others were UFO’s report, and detailed in the reports of the past. The radars, which were built for air defense, began to make some very few goals, ie loans technical confirmation for the unjustified demands of the human observer.

As a result of the accumulation of more impressive UFO reports official interest affected. In early 1951 have verbal orders of Major General Charles P. Cabell, then director of intelligence for Headquarters, U.S. Air Force for a study reviewing the situation for UFO Air Force Headquarters.
