why are UFOs predicted or said to be like a disc? why not any other shape? (do they exist at all?)?

Answer 1

UFO
U-Unidentified

F-flying

O-object

It's true , even scientists proved it. But I don't understand one thing. If it is identified then why is it called unidentified. It should actually be called IFO which means

I-identified

F-flying

O-object

Answer 2

All heavenly bodies are spherical exceptions are comets and meteorite.

Sphere looks like disc in two view.

Balloons also have circular patterns, Major advance countries had a secrete programs, and all were trying to create a flying platforms. Some had successes.

Even a civilian experimenter flew one using 4 motor cycle engines in LA. area at one time.

This should explain the pre-dominant shape. There were other shapes also reported(Triangular Delta wing air crafts, B-2, B-1, F111, F-70 sires, Concord).

Most countries set up some kind of centre to collect in incoming info, from common people. Also had secret entity to observe the phenomena.

Up to date non of them confirmed the existence of UFO. Non of them said that it is not possible to have UFO. Most have now reduced the staff to skeletal level.

Private interest is still there but it fluctuates greatly.

There were pranksters, with poover imitations and other were very good and took lots of time to evaluate. In the end non of the sighting paned out.

Whenever there is a new secrete plane being tested, the number of sightings go up. Ultimately the plane is reviled to the public. The investigation records are sealed or made public.

Answer 3

I do not know if we are the UFO entities' property, as Charles Fort suggested. They certainly have done their level best to encourage that belief. It is possible that they have been taken to be our 'gods' in the past and have exploited our superstition and gullibility. In any case, their great Cosmic Phonograph keeps sending messages of apocalypse and catastrophe. The UFOnauts are probably not our custodians or rulers, as some have claimed, but they have been willing to accept that mantle. There is very little that can be said with certainty about what role the UFO has played throughout history. It is not the role of either benevolent Space Brother or malevolent Hidden Directorate, but rather a role more befitting of a cosmic Trickster. I do not know what the ultimate purpose of the UFO phenomenon is, and I have come to no firm conclusions regarding its intentionality or origin. But on this much I am certain: it has guided human history at certain critical junctures. And it has manipulated human beliefs. Whether for good or for ill - and from whose perspective - I am not sure. It does seem that the UFOnauts are not strangers, but rather Visitors, as Streiber suggests. They have come in the past, and will continue to be coming for a long time. It is why they are here that is the $64,000 question, and it is one in which we are in no better position than our predecessors. Solving it, however, may affect the destiny of the human race.

Answer 4

A UFO or Unidentified Flying Object is any real or apparent flying object which cannot be identified by the observer and which remains unidentified after investigation.

Sightings of unusual aerial phenomena date back to ancient times, but reports of UFO sightings started becoming more common after the first widely publicized U.S. sighting in 1947. Many tens of thousands of such claimed observations have since been reported worldwide, and it is very likely many more go unreported due to fear of public ridicule because of the Social stigma created around the UFO topic.

In popular culture throughout the world, UFO is commonly used to refer to any hypothetical alien spacecraft but the term flying saucer is also regularly used. Once a UFO is identified as a known object (for example an aircraft or weather balloon), it ceases to be a UFO and becomes an identified object. In such cases it is inaccurate to continue to use the acronym UFO to describe the object.

Answer 5

UFOs or unidentified flying objects are considered mainly spherical because they might have got much advanced technology than us to fly an object without projected wings.
They also give an special affects in cartoons and movies.
May be they exist or not but in some discovery programmes has shown that they have been seen by some people.But nowone can really know till there is a definite proof.

Answer 6

Most of the supposed sightings refer to a disc, however the disc shape may have been popularised by science and science fiction since the possible propulsion systems of a UFO may at best be used on a craft of this shape.
Note however that triangular shaped craft are also in popular concensus.

Answer 7

UFO like ghosts and so many other things, does not exist. First of all, a disk shape is not aerodynamic for upword motion as they think ufos do fly.

Answer 8

I think simply because the "disc" shape is perhaps the most idoneous aerodynamic shape to fly fast in different dimensions/directions.

Answer 9

ufo's are unknwon flying objcets there exists in disc structure becase it is the shape which we cannot find using radar they exists or not i dont know

Answer 10

There is no evidence of their existence. Photographs and videos are usually hazy and can be explained by other phenomena. This is not to say that they don't exist, only that we don't know for sure.

Other shapes have been described, like "cigar-shaped" or "torpedo-shaped".
