Flying saucer, a type of Unidentified Flying Object, having
a biconvex discoid shape; such objects are occasionally
reported to have been sighted, but no example of one has
been reliably shown to exist. They are believed by
ufologists to originate in outer space, but they are
generally presumed to be misinterpretations of ordinary
phenomena, illusions or imaginary objects. Fraudulent
photographs purporting to show flying saucers are
published from time to time.
