In the "How have descriptions of UAPs changed over the years?" thread over in Chitchat
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/how-have-descriptions-of-uaps-changed-over-the-years.12619/,
there was some discussion of the 1947 Kenneth Arnold sighting.
It's widely accepted that the term "flying saucer" originated from a journalist mis-quoting Arnold (Arnold said the objects moved like saucers skipping over water, or words to that effect).
Duke raised the (I think very real) possibility that the use of "flying saucer" influenced the reports, or interpretation, of subsequent sightings (I've edited this quote a bit)
Arnold said that he first thought that he was seeing a flock of geese. He ruled this out, citing his altitude and the object's apparent speed.
Frankly, I think Arnold may well have seen geese (my 11 year-old self would be furious that I've said that!)
If Arnold had stuck with his first impression- rather than the stuff about saucers- maybe popular culture would have taken a different path...

I was going to ask why they can’t see the Sydney Opera House, but then I remembered that flat Earthers don’t think Australia really exists.

The Government of the United Kingdom wishes it to be known that the British people have no intention of leaving our friends and allies in the United States of America to face the balloon menace alone.
It can be revealed that, over many years, the 13th/42nd Lancers (Cavalry, Hot Air) have trained for just such an eventuality.
"If Johnny Foreigner thinks he can float his dastardly spheres above our heads without so much as a by-your-leave, he's jolly well got another think coming!" said the unit's CO shortly after his daring escape fromhospita hostile captors.

What are our flying pigs doing in the UK when they ought to be at home in Cincinnati?

Madam! I'll have you know that Percy is a British flying pig, and while he has great respect for the late Mayor Jerry Springer,
he assumes that any Cincinnati flying porcines must be descendants of a litter allegedly smuggled over there by a young lady of Scottish background some years ago.

I know of at least one in NC...
And anime fans will be familiar with Porco Rosso, a flying pig in Italy during and following WWI...
