Arnold described them as crescent-shaped objects bobbing up and down
like saucers do when skipped across water. A reporter picked up on
this, and coined the phrase "flying saucer." This began the POPULAR
use of the term "flying saucer," regardless of the usage of the term
in past times as you have suggested.
