UFO are just that Unidentified. Now this term only relates to the observer for some objects are known by some and not by others. UFO is a strongly missused word because if you claim that a UFO is an Extra Terristerail Vehicle well then that statement would require Identification. It is possible to theorize that if there is photographic evidence that the observer has and the Government is unwilling or unable to Identify the object then it could be theorized that it could be an ETV. I stress that this is a theory untill it can be proven.
So I called this object in the immage I put forth a UFO because I cannot identify the object that crashed. It could be from anywhere because I can not Identify it or its origin. That does not mean that no one can identify it it just means I can not. The people that work at the site do know what it is and can identify it.
All UFO's should be investigated and identified if possible. Once they are identified they are no longer UFO's.
I can not stress enough that UFO has nothing to do with the origin of the object it only means that the object can not be Identified.
