A lot of the pictures are fake, so it's not to discuse if they are fake or not, but thanks for the notice
Why isn't it to discuss if they are fake? The battle of LA photo shows no object (manipulate it all you want in photoshop, but the original doesn't and absolutley no contemporary reports speak of one), some of those you post are clearly streetlamps and others frankly are obviously there for fun.
Why no more saucers though? Hmmmm, could it be popular culture? I'm guessing that's the case. Flying saucers are so passe as people move more into new age thinking (at least those that believe) so we know have glowing orbs.

So the question is, did the flying saucer exist, or was it just imagination, and hoaxes.
How does a real UFO look like, is it a disc shape, flashing light or both?

How long did it take you to figure that out ?
I like your theory

I was going through some old UFO report's and noticed something strange.
Back in the days, when people started to report UFO's, they started to call them flying saucer's.
The term "flying saucer" came from this.
The Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting was an incident on June 24, 1947, where private pilot Kenneth Arnold spotted a string of nine, shiny unidentified flying objects flying past Mount Rainier at then unheard of supersonic speeds that Arnold clocked at a minimum of 1,200 miles an hour. This was the first post-War sighting in the United States that garnered nationwide news coverage and is credited with being the first of the modern era of UFO sightings, including numerous reported sightings over the next two to three weeks. Arnold's description of the objects also led to the press quickly coining the terms flying saucer and flying disc as popular descriptive terms for UFOs.
