It's simple: you see and object; it's flying; you don't know what it is; therefore, it's an unidentified flying object. As for other intelligent life in the universe (ok, I've assumed that humans are intelligent; and, that is open to debate) I'll go with Clarke on this one: "Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."

I was definitely a "pull the other one" when it came to UFO, until I decided to take a look, and there were things I saw which I certainly couldn't explain, planes helicopters and the like do not move as fast or act like the things I saw on a regular basis
The more I read about UFOs, the more I conclude that many (note not all) are man made, and are 'black ops' projects, 'back engineered' from the few ET UFOs that have crash landed.
There are 'planes' in our skies that have cloaking capacity and high tech weaponry that we are not told about.
The purpose of the secrecy is explained when you read about Operation Bluebeam which will be a simulated ET invasion designed to scare populations into accepting a World government totalitarian regime.
Sorry -born sceptic I'm afraid. Why come zooming across the Universe travelling for light years, probaby at some cost, just to mess about playing hide and seek?!
They may not have to travel across the Universe They may already be in this area - they may live in other dimensions here and may be watching us.

For those who have made comments about me being on drugs -I wasn't on drugs.
I don't go round looking for UFO's. If you asked me if I believe I say "Not Sure!"
However this day - I looked up and saw what I thought was a plane shining and reflecting light as they do - it went into a small cloud and Vanished and there was no sign of it. It was either some new government aircraft or an alien space craft; that said it happened so fast part of me doesn't want to believe it, that is the same with all people. Even now I say to myself "well why don't you see any more then?" So even a part of me is sceptical.
So yeh Margerat you are right - also the Government are flying unmanned drones which can zoom in on people on the ground - these were originally used in Iraq and Afghanistan to spot out over enemy lines.

Too many "maybes" ... I fully believe, however, that we are not alone in the Universe. But I agree with J. B. S. Haldane: "My own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose." And I don't think that we are all that important anyway. Certainly not interesting enough to travel light years to observe. There are probably aliens out there who don't like to ask directions, and they end up here.

Spot on Eric - would love to have met the man. Eric and J B S Haldane... and me. Not bad company to keep. Have to say the only thing by him that I've read is his children's book My Friend Mr Leakey. But on looking him up on Wikipedia just now I came across a poem which ends
"...I know that cancer often kills,
But so do cars and sleeping pills;
And it can hurt one till one sweats,
So can bad teeth and unpaid debts.
A spot of laughter, I am sure,
Often accelerates one’s cure;
So let us patients do our bit
To help the surgeons make us fit."
I second that!
BTW did you know that Haldane died on your birthday?
