OVNI
OVNI stands for Objet Volant Non-Identifié, where:
un objet = an object 9the final 't' is silent)
volant / volante = flying. As a noun, un volant = a steering wheel
non-identifié(e) = unidentified
As you must have guessed by now, OVNI is the French acronym equivalent to UFO. In news today, France became the first country to open up its UFO files to the public. If you have an investigating mind, or would like to practice your French by reading transcripts of police interviews of farmers who claim they were abducted by aliens, you can do so on this site (at the time I'm writing this, however, it is down. I suppose too many UFO investigators tried it out).
