The term UFO Popular

Use of the term "UFO" as sightings of mysterious phenomenon was first suggested in 1952 by Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, the first leader of Project Blue Book. Use of the term "Flying Saucer" does not reflect the different appearance. Ruppelt said that the term "UFO" should be pronounced like the word "you-foe" (you're the enemy). However, the term is usually pronounced by saying the letters one by one: "UFO". Foreign terms is rapidly adapted by the Air Force, which also directly use the term "UFOB" around the year 1954. Ruppelt described his experiences with Project Blue Book in his notes, "The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects" (reports of unidentified flying objects) (1956), is also the first book to use the term UFO.
