UFO
A UFO, or unidentified flying object, is any object seen in the sky that cannot be immediately identified or explained. UFOs can be any shape or size, and they can move in unusual ways. While many UFO sightings can be explained as natural phenomena or human technology, there are some that remain unsolved.
The term “UFO” was coined in the late 1940s by Kenneth Arnold, a businessman who claimed to see nine high-speed objects flying in formation near Mount Rainier in Washington. Arnold described the objects as being “saucer-like” and moving “like saucers skipping on water.”
UAP
UAP stands for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. It is a more general term than UFO, which stands for Unidentified Flying Object. UAP is used to describe any object or phenomenon in the sky that cannot be immediately identified or explained.
The US government has adopted the term UAP to avoid the stigma associated with the term UFO. UFO is often associated with aliens and extraterrestrial spacecraft, which can lead people to dismiss or ridicule UFO sightings. The term UAP is more neutral and objective, and it is used to describe any unexplained object or phenomenon in the sky, regardless of its origin.
