英语词汇flying saucer的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

flying saucer. U.S. pilot Kenneth Arnold is said to have been the first earthling to sight a flying saucer, in June 1947, near Mount Ranier in Washington State. Arnold has also been credited with naming the dish-shaped object many believed to have come from outer space. But unidentified flying objects have been reported since at least 1878 in America, when a Texas Daily News story told of a flying object “about the size of a large saucer” that some pedestrian had spotted directly over and far above his head. In any case, there have been thousands of sight- ings since Arnold’s, but no landing so far as we know. See u.f.o.
