not figure out what the object is after an investigation, it is called a UFO. If they figure out
what the object is, it can no longer be called a UFO because it has been identified.

talking about alien spacecraft. Flying saucer is another word that is often used to describe
an unidentified flying object.

hoaxes (people trying to trick other people). Most UFOs are actually natural or man-made
objects that looked strange. 80%-90% UFOs are identified as one of three different
things:astronomical causes (for example: planets, stars, or meteors, aircraft, balloons). 10%20% of UFOs are other causes (such as birds, clouds, mirages, searchlights, etc.)
