BOC: UFO refs in ETI

[Clore]

Several phrases here refer to UFO lore.

"Daylight disk"--this comes from the classification system proposed by
J. Allen Hynek in *The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry* (1974).
Refers to a flying saucer seen during the day, as opposed to a
"nocturnal light" and too far away to count as a "close encounter" (term
first proposed here).

"Fairy rings"--refers most properly to rings of underground fungus that
make the grass very green above them.  Also refers to a large circular
fungus that kills the grass above it, leaving a big circle of white gunk
on the ground.  Often identified as traces of UFO landings.

"Dead leaves always give up motion"--the famous "dead leaf motion" or
"falling leaf motion" of UFOs refers to their pattern of descent, going
back and forth and pausing.
