"The problem is that “UFO,” a catchall term for anything that’s airborne and not immediately classifiable, is so tightly knit to the idea of extraterrestrials in the popular imagination. There should be separate words for the sci-fi thing; the thing that the government is taking employee reports of; and stuff that civilians see in the sky and have questions about, which, beyond aircraft, can include everything from clouds to swarms of insects. But scientists are actually pretty bullish about cataloging what’s going on in our atmosphere, so much so that a team at a radio telescope in Australia once spent years puzzling over a signal that turned out to be from a microwave oven. If these flying things were visitors from another planet, there’s a solid chance we’d be clued in."
There's always an explanation, if you dig deep enough. Drones are often the cause these days. No Aliens required.
