The Evolution of Aerial Phenomena Terminology
This chapter examines the shifting terminology from 'flying saucers' to 'unidentified aerial phenomena' (UAPs), exploring the historical context and implications of each label. It highlights the cultural impact of significant UFO sightings, especially during the Cold War, and the changing attitudes of the U.S. government toward these incidents. Additionally, the narrative chronicles early reports, such as Kenneth Arnold's sighting in 1947, and the concerns surrounding foreign surveillance that shaped public perception of unexplained aerial encounters.
