Although the acronym UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object, its definition seems to be too broad. The term Unidentified Flying Object was created to identify what since 1947 have been known as disc like shaped aerial vehicles capable of flying at light, if not faster than light speed, making sharp 90 degree turns in an instant, maneuvering in circles around man made aerial vehicles, and simply hovering in place. Known accounts have been reported by retired United States pilots, such as Col. Wendell C. Stevens, and by NASA astronauts, such as Gordon Cooper, to mention a known few. However, these reports seem to be diminishing and giving way to the more commonly known and current type of UFO-- flying orbs of light. It seems as if the UFO acronym should be redefined, i.e.; UFO—Unidentified Flying Orbs, UHO—Unidentified Hovering Orbs, and perhaps for the secret man made military ships, and the well known historical flying disc, we should consider UFV—Unidentified Flying Vehicles.

     Whatever happened to the flying disc? Why are we witnessing more and more flying orbs in the sky? Orbs reported from all over the globe, not only in rural areas, but also in cities and suburbs alike. And if we do read, or hear about unidentified flying vehicles, they are now being described symmetrically, as either triangular, and sometimes square, flying slowly past onlookers without making a sound, like the famous March 13^th, 1997 daylight Arizona sighting of a V-shaped aerial vehicle seen and reported by many,  before the Phoenix Lights lit up the dark skies on the evening of that same day.  No more do we read or hear of vehicles making fascinating maneuvers, such as the classic flying disc, rather we are witnessing video after video, of hovering orbs, or orbs flying in a straight path like the ones captured on video by the Mexican air force in 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t69A8SP0xCo&feature=related. In 1952 these same types of orbs were also filmed over Capitol Hill Washington,D.C.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTZ7O9cfpPQ . How someone was able to film such dramatic footage, from such a strategic location, with no sound and consequently no real report provided, is highly questionable, nevertheless, whatever was flying over Washington was real, and resemble the Mexico UFOs.

     One of the most, if not the most dramatic footage of an Unidentified Flying Orb, is the UFO over Jerusalem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwx-ufvG6dE – this footage is extremely difficult to discount as being some sort of hoax. I have analyzed this footage over and over, and what truly makes this footage undeniably real, is the way the pulsating light over the dome illuminated the entire area surrounding the mount. One can clearly visualize the light disappear from the top of the dome as soon as the object zooms upward into the night sky. This object however, close up, does seem to be spinning like a disc, but it is so bright, that one cannot make out its true shape.

     So what is happening? Have flying discs decided to conceal themselves inside a field of extreme luminosity, so luminous that we can no longer define their shape as being disc like? Rather we can only define them as orbs or bright lights? One question does still remain, why do these orbs unlike the known flying disc, not perform the aerial feats we read and hear from pilots, and civilians alike? These orbs, simply hover, travel in a straight path, and on occasion seem to morph into one another and disappear. As many of you, I am a firm believer that we are not alone, but the more we delve into this subject the more complicated its manifestations. We may have to reconsider, reclassifying what we are seeing in our skies.  –dc
