I know I'm going to be ripped to shreds on this thread. But I'm trying to think outside the box. Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge. Its really hampering what I'm trying to say.
Could "flying saucers" be giant electrons or protons just bouncing around the atmosphere? High speed shiny objects buzzing around at weird angles. My knowledge is very limited on this topic and I hope some of you can help me with this. Again...just trying to think outside the box.

I think the electrons anyway are more like a wave or cloud of energy or probability. I like the thinking because what do these things really look like? I also think the diagram which depicts the atom as some balls is to blame for people thinking of atoms and electronics as planets orbiting a star.

Im in total agreement. The old model of balls floating round a cluster is great for imagining the different energy levels / orbits of an atom but electrons are like you said wave or cloud of energy or probability. You can never pinpoint the direction and speed of an electron because of this.
