* The racing game ''{{Re-Volt}}'' has a flying saucer as a hidden car, available only via cheats. It pretty much drives like a normal car (though its speed and other characteristics make it a GameBreaker), but hovers a bit after leaping off ramps, sometimes flying for really long distances.

* ''StarTrek,'' the Federation's standard design for non-shuttlecraft ships is composed a circular or oval saucer attached to 2 or 3 warp narcelles. actually the ''Enterprise'' is pretty much a saucer with warp nacelles. Picard's version can separate its saucer section from its star-drive section, as well, though the budget prevented ThePowersThatBe from having it do this with any regularity.

The term was MemeticMutation of Kenneth Arnold's description of a UFO sighting he saw. The actual term "Flying Saucer" is also BeamMeUpScotty, as Arnold described their flight as "like saucers skipping across water." Nevertheless, the term stuck. Flying Saucers are the most reported type of UFO (and the most commonly hoaxed type as well) though it is unknown if the term was being used by the witness as an interchangeable word for UFO or describing the nature of the UFO (the term UFO describes any possible aircraft shape, as long as it is Unidentified.) Flying Saucers are still reported today, with a recent one reported over Chicago O'Hare airport in 2006.

* A disc shape is actually quite useful for a spacecraft that would operate in an atmosphere. Flying edge-on, the whole craft functions as a lifting body, and it can turn much more easily than a winged aircraft. Flying flat-on, on the other hand, is great for using a large-area heat shield on your underside for reentry.
