'''UFO''' was, during the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century|21st centuries]], a [[human]] designation standing for '''Unidentified Flying Object'''. Many UFOs were believed by some of the general public, such as [[Eugene Jones]] and [[Maxwell Edison]], to be [[alien]] [[spacecraft]]. Particularly in the [[1950s]] and into the [[1970s]], the public often reported UFOs as [[flying saucer]]s, crewed by "[[Martian]]s". | '''UFO''' was, during the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century|21st centuries]], a [[human]] designation standing for '''Unidentified Flying Object'''.
