These days, it seems that the term "UFO" no longer means Unidentified Flying Object. It now seems to mean Alien Spaceship or Flying Saucer. This is quite strange, mainly because the words Alien Spaceship or Flying Saucer can in no way make up the acronym UFO. People don't seem to understand that any object that is unidentified, and happens to be flying, can be an unidentified flying object. It doesn't matter what it is.
In fact, Superman could be a UFO. "It's a bird! It's a plane!" They apparently don't know what it is, and are just throwing words out there, because I'm sure Superman looks nothing like a bird or a plane. That is most certainly an unidentified flying object.
