Unidentified flying object (commonly abbreviated as UFO or U.F.O.) is the popular term for any aerial phenomenon whose cause cannot be easily or immediately identified. Both military and civilian research show that a significant majority of UFO sightings have been identified after further investigation, either explicitly or indirectly through the presence of clear and simple explanatory factors (see Occam's Razor). The United States Air Force, which coined the term in 1952, initially defined UFOs as those objects that remain unidentified after scrutiny by expert investigators, though the term UFO is often used more generally to describe any sighting unidentifiable to the reporting observer(s). Popular culture frequently takes the term UFO as a synonym for alien spacecraft. Cults have become associated with UFOs, and mythology and folklore have evolved around the phenomenon. Some investigators now prefer to use the broader term unidentified aerial phenomenon (or UAP), to avoid the confusion and speculative associations that have become attached to UFO.

Studies have established that only a small percentage of reported UFOs are actual hoaxes, while the majority are observations of some real but conventional object—most commonly aircraft, balloons, or astronomical objects such as meteors or bright planets—that have been misidentified by the observer as anomalies. A small percentage of reported sightings (usually 5 %–20 %) are classified as unidentified flying objects in the strictest sense (see below for some studies).

Certain scientists have argued that all UFO sightings, in the strictest sense, are misidentifications of prosaic natural phenomena and historically, there was debate among some scientists about whether scientific investigation was warranted given available empirical data. Very little peer-reviewed literature has been published in which scientists have proposed, studied or supported non-prosaic explanations for UFOs.

UFO reports became frequent after the first widely publicized US sighting – reported by private pilot Kenneth Arnold in 1947 – that gave rise to the popular terms "flying saucer" and "flying disc". Since then, millions of people have reported that they have seen UFOs.

Is it possible that the UFOs and aliens that we encounter were poltergeist?
Q. Some faith healer believes that poltergeist can penetrate into different dimensions and this means that they can jump into one dimension to another in just a matter of seconds anywhere they want,whenever they want.Some even suggested that they used the the 'worm hole' in the space to travel faster to Earth.Perhaps peltergeist,just like us could'nt survive in the outer space without a help of some type of vehicle fully equipped for outer space survival.For us humans,we used the space shuttle but for the poltergiest,they used what we called as UFO.So is it possible that the so-called alien beings that we encouter were not actually a highly-intellect aliens from other planet visiting us but rather an evil spirit from another dimensions… [cont.]

A. ummm whats this got to do with physics? 4th dimensional analysis? that's calculus. but it's a very intresting view on the subject. maybe we are the spirits of aliens who physically live on another planet and the spirits are just the aliens that have near death experiences.

Christians mainly, others are welcome, what do you think about UFOs?
Q. My father believes in UFOs and God but, my mother says you can't believe in God and UFOs at the same time. But if you think about it, God has the power to create anything he wants, so why couldn't God create UFOs if he wanted?

A. The term is often misused. It simple means Unidentifiable Flying Object. Unidentified doesn't have to imply alien. It simply means that we cannot identify it's origins and often times not much about it. Someone made it clear that there isn't any mention of any other life outside of angels, demons, and humans aside from God. Could He have made others, sure. Did He need to. No. As for the Ezekiel reference it was symbolic. Are their UFOs? Yes in the strict sense of the term unidentifiable. Are there some that are alien? I've watched movies, documentaries, etc but I haven't seen anything warranting it taken seriously. Although my mind is not closed to the possibility.

Will the Mayans return in 2012 in UFOs and tell us the truth about the moon landing?
Q. This isn't a real question. It's a mockery of all the dumb pseudo-astronomy questions that have ever been on this site. Please, stop asking them. The answer is no. 10 points for the wittiest response. Go.

A. The Bermuda triangle is one of the most important sites on Earth and is at a complementary position to the Nazca lines and Rennes-le-Chateau. It has been well known for centuries that the Bermuda Triangle is where the Illuminati descend through a hollow island. This island only rises above the water when members of the Illuminati approach. The island is an entry to reach Atlantis, which of course is still populated. It appears certain the the Templar fleet which disappeared at the time of the arrest of the members in France sailed for this island. This island is the basis of Lovecraft's legend of Cthulhu as it is guarded by a genetically engineered squid of great intelligence, able to move about on land with some facility. … [cont.]
