An unidentified flying object, or UFO is any apparent anomaly in the sky (or near or on the ground, but observed hovering, landing, or departing into the sky) that is not readily identifiable as any known object or phenomenon by visual observation and/or use of associated instrumentation such as radar. These anomalies were referred to popularly as "flying saucers" or "flying discs" during the late 1940s and early 1950s."

Example Answers:
Underwater Photography
My hobby is underwater photography. It involves scuba diving to take photographs of marine life. I practise my hobby almost every weekend. I always go with friends. I have lots of equipment. I have my own scuba diving gear and two underwater cameras and one underwater video recorder. I am interested in scuba diving because it's really exciting to look at different underwater plants and sea creatures.
Stamp Collecting
My hobby is stamp collecting. It involves asking my family and friends to save stamps for me from their mail or buying stamps. I practise my hobby almost every day. I do it on my own. I don't have much equipment: an album, a magnifying glass and stamp tongs (щипцы). I am interested in stamp collecting because it's really exciting to look at different stamps and study them.
