Sometimes, UFOs land.

That dog? A UFO that's not flying at the moment. When the dog sits, the aliens are getting back onboard.

Some UFOs can morph into different shapes as camouflage.

That lake? Yep, it's a UFO.

I think that's part of the point of the term.

Instead of saying you saw "an alien", you merely saw something you couldn't identify.

Heck my coffee mug almost turned into an UFO this morning, luckily it all ended in a small splatter.

Not anything. No one could confuse a lake or the Whitehouse or a stick of spaghetti as a UFO. It needs to be flying first and foremost.

Pretty sure at least one lake could be mistaken for a UFO

There used to be a lake right over there. Ducks would eat in it, children would swim in it, it was a great lake. One day these ducks were in the pond, and the temperature dropped so fast, that the lake just froze right up. The ducks didn’t die, they flew away and took that whole lake right with them. To this day I hear that lake is somewhere over in Georgia.

One of my favorite pasttimes is checking the UFO sub and watching them all agree that "this is it" for the 185,495th time.

If you throw a stick of spaghetti fast enough, people can’t identify it.

Reminds me of the birds lifting a whale in the sky when Twitter was struggling back in the day.

I went a few times a couple years back when the propaganda and information warfare was really heating up... Are the users still going full force that it's really really real and it's juuuuust about to bust loose?

Lights reflecting on water are often a source of mistaken UFO sightings.

Yeet it to make it flying. Yes, it's a dumb idea, as mentioned in the post

Nothing is an UFO if you're knowledgeable enough.

Are we not all on a giant ball that's flying through space?
