The Story of Flying Saucers

On 24 june 1947 a US pilot called Kenneth Arnold Looked out of the window of his plane and saw nine sliver  objects flying close together. they were moving very quickly , Kenneth guessed that their speed was more than 1600 KM an hour . He told journalists that the objects didn't move like planes , bit like saucers move when someone throws them across the surface of water . Later , one of the journalists called the objects " Flying Saucers  " . 

this was the first time the expression "Flying Saucer" was used , but people have been seeing unidentified flying objects UFOs in the sky for centuries . For example in the thirteen century some English farmers saw a flat silver object in the sky . this is surprising because in those days there were no  planes or weather balloons or space stations that could be mistaken for UFOs .

Today , many of UFOs turn out to be something quite ordinary . one evening in February 2001 ,eight colored lights appeared in the sky above Kuala Lumpur , in Malaysia . The light seemed to float for ten  minutes before moving off and disappearing . Many people thought that had been released from a temple . 

Most UFOs can be explained like this . However there are many that can't .surveys show that at least half of us believe intelligent life exists on other planets .
