The motion was described as falling or moving through the sky like a "falling leaf." It was description of the back and forth, swaying, twirling or rotating motion noted by some observers of unidentified flying objects. Some of the most intriguing cases indicate a unique motion observed. Arnold in June 1947 noted the nine objects moved like stones or saucers skipped across water ( visualizing that it might be termed a bump, glide, bump, glide), others would indicate something of a swaying back and forth with a hint of a twirling motion, and some others would note a rotation or oscillation in the object or objects seen.
