A flying saucer (also referred to as "a flying disc") is a descriptive term for a supposed type of flying craft having a disc or saucer-shaped body, commonly used generically to refer to an anomalous flying object. The term was coined in 1930 but has generally been supplanted since 1952 by the United States Air Force term unidentified flying objects (or UFOs for short).

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). This was Red's first album, and the folks at Sundazed Records deserve the highest praise for re-releasing this one. There are 12 songs here, including the Tommy Collin's penned, "Roll, Truck, Roll". Great music, and to top it off, the folks at Sundazed used the original album cover (front & back), including the liner notes. Simpson gives voice to Collins' weary driver, contrasting a man's initial dream of freedom with the wreckage wrought by an absentee father. The collateral damage of the trucker's mobile life was never depicted with more clarity than on this recording.
