A UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) is any object flying in the sky which cannot be identified by
the person who sees it. Sometimes the object is investigated. If people cannot figure out what
the object is after an investigation, it is called a UFO. If they figure out what the object is, it can
no longer be called a UFO because it has been identified.
Even though UFOs can be anything, people can use the word UFO when they are talking about
alien spacecraft. Flying saucer is another word that is often used to describe an identified flying
object.
Studies estimate that 50-90% of all reported sightings are identified later. Usually 10-20% are
never identified. Studies also show that very few UFO sightings are hoaxes (people trying to

80-90% of UFOs are identified as one of three different things: (a) astronomical causes (for
example: planets, stars, or meteors); (b) aircraft; and (c) balloons. 10-20% of UFOs are other
