Eh? A U.F.O. is simply something that's not been or able to be Identified. In this case, the thing was Flying and was not identifiable at the time making it, by definition (and at that time) a U.F.O.

No one said it was a space ship or anything like that. Now that it has been more or less identified, it is not a U.F.O. any longer.

The four of us who saw the thing and could not identify what it was, sought outside sources [in this case, this forum!] to help us identify what we saw. This is a natural part of the scientific process. Most things start out as unknown, and, by seeking knowledge and information, can and do become known.

If such an "object" could *not* be identified, one would not dis-believe its presence simply on the virtue that a plausible explanation could not be found
