1995 P Nickel looks like a small Cud between the top left of Monticello Dome under the letters E P, It looks like a flying saucer, I call this nickel My 1995 Flying Saucer Nickel.
Can anyone confirm if it is a Cud, I hope the pictures are clear enough, if not sorry.

Not a Cud, a Cud involves the edge of the coin. Is it raised or incised into the surface? If it's incised, then it's a strike thru. If raised then maybe a die chip.

Looks like it is raised from the fields. So it is probably die damage. (an incuse mark on the die, leaves a raised area on a coin)

looks like a die chip to me. Stay here long enough and you will learn more about coins than you ever thought existed.

I didn't mention chip as chips usually happen next to devices, not in the center of the fields. Die dots can be noticed on the fields. But this was bigger than a die dot.
