  During the last decade, strong observational evidence has been accumulated
for the existence of massive, high velocity winds/outflows (aka Ultra Fast
Outflows, UFOs) in nearby AGNs and in more distant quasars. Here we briefly
review some of the most recent developments in this field and discuss the
relevance of UFOs for both understanding the physics of accretion disk winds in
AGNs, and for quantifying the global amount of AGN feedback on the surrounding
medium.
