Roswell UFOs

It’s unidentified, so it’s a UFO. That doesn’t make it aliens. It makes you ignorant of sky phenomena. If you want to identify it, take astronomy and meteorology classes.

Toxic Bunny is not amused.

A UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a spaceship. It is an object flying in the sky that you are not able to identify. Unless or until you identify it, it remains a UFO. LOOK, up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Supermannnn!

UFO originally meant “unidentified flying object”.
So if something is flying and you don’t know what it is, its a UFO.

But in the 1950’s, UFO came to be associated solely with “alien spacecraft piloted by extraterrestrial intelligent beings”.
That means that they are no longer UFOs – they have been “identified” as alien spaceships, so they are IFO (Identified Flying Objects).

So you can’t win with the acronym UFO – to some it means an alien spaceship, to scientists it means an unidentified flying object (which could end up being identified as a plane or a balloon or a flock of geese or a sundog or anything).
