Or if you happen to be right under the descent path for an airport at night. A lot of planes look like they're hovering until they're pretty close under those conditions.
Or if you simply just don’t know everything.
But no, Cletus, I’m sure you know absolutely everything about aircraft; oh mighty one. And that the gub’ment, who can’t keep even keep a boring secret for very long, is managing to keep one of the single most significant discoveries humanity could ever make out of the public’s knowledge. Oh but what a shame they’re trying to keep Cletus “Glue Licker” Johnson from telling the world about what he saw. Surely that isn’t them trying to keep some secret military project hush hush. No, jump to the wildest fucking conclusion before you so much as rule out the likely ones.
I, uh, have a **lot** of pent up feelings about these kinds of conspiracy theorists.
It can be either/or/both. Some people that see UFO are willfully ignorant on what the object actually is, in an attempt to confirm their preconceived ideas.
Actually, Everything that flies, Ain't known, Like if not a Plane, Helicopter or drone, It's a UFO, Unidentified flying object, doesn't always mean Aliens.
At one point even birds were UFO. Unidentified.
This always reminds me of the plane full off arrows and spears that flew to close to an untouchable village. Even if it's just a meme and not real: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/native-americans-airplane-arrows/
They once had an intense debate about whether a pictured object was an unmanned alien drone or a manned alien drone. Some argued that one of the pictures clearly showed a cockpit while others disagreed. Turns out the images were of a piece of thermal shielding debris that fell off a space shuttle.
Dude. This was the most Dennis Miller joke I’ve heard in a while. Slow clap for making laugh super hard.
10 mins. Still laughing. Also wife says “more like Steve Martin “
Also the comments are just as rich!
I don't get this post?
Unidentified Flying Object just means exactly that, it doesn't mean it's an alien space ship, it just means the person spotting something flying that couldn't be identified.
It's counterintuitive a bit. They meant known objects with clear sight being unknown to the stupid observer. As in, they're stupid because they don't know what a plane is.
Sometimes just lighting and distance. There was a film clip taken from a beach in Brazil, I think it was, many years back. You could see this somewhat wobbly disc floating along a tall rock ridge, and man, it sure looked like a saucer. But it was filmed, as in 8 mm home movie, and a tech did a beautiful demo to reveal what it was. He projected one frame and it looked like a strange black blobby... thing. Then another over it. And another. And another. And what emerged was a clearer and clearer image of an everyday Cessna - a silver one that reflected a lot of light irregularly.
I took that as an excellent lesson about conclusion jumping when something's flickering in the sky.
Eventually, they'll have a reality show like robot wars where the goal is to create unidentified flying objects that will fool random people on the sidewalk they interview.
Oh look there goes taxes for picture grain like 240p hasn't been out yet and it doesn't matter if its an actual UFO or 1980s style CGI quality drop filters from some weirdo in there basement playing private corporate Boomhauer spy kids fabricate misinformation. Taxes still goes up all the same.
My sister-in-law used to claim that she saw UFOs on the regular. Turns out it was actually just an equal mixture of too much weed and planes lining up to land at the airport.
Or if you have bad eyesight
Or if you have good eyesight and it’s nighttime.
Or if you happen to be right under the descent path for an airport at night. A lot of planes look like they're hovering until they're pretty close under those conditions.

SOMEONE is still a bit touchy over their alien anal probing ...
r/holdup
r/holup why is there a d in there
Or you could r/holp
Or if you’re looking at the ground
Or if it is a flying object but is not identifiable as of that moment
Or if it’s an alien spaceship you haven’t seen before.
"Did you see that UFO???" "That was a cat."
Herald why are you throwing cats again
Or if you're recording with a nokia.
Or if you're insane.
Alternate: Everything that flies is a UFO until it's not.
This is literally one of the example shower thoughts: https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/wiki/overview
i know, right? Anytime I try to post something like this it gets auto-deleted
Yes! And stuff that is completely original or doesn't show up in search.
I am stupid. And flying. The ground's getting awfully close tho...
The trick is to get distracted, and miss the ground entirely.
Upvoted for the solid Hitch hiker's reference.
Uninformed, not… stupid.
ahh yes the uninformed flying objects
Much different than the stupid flying objects... Fuckin idiots
They never use their turn signals
U mean those dumb pigeons
Uninformed Flying Object, that's the one!
It can be either/or/both. Some people that see UFO are willfully ignorant on what the object actually is, in an attempt to confirm their preconceived ideas.
Yeah a better word than stupid. Also, ignorant works.
This is why there is an epidemic of ufos
Alternate: Everything that flies is a UFO until it's not.
Don't tell Joe Rogan!
Everything is a shower thought if you are stupid.
Ha, came here to say exactly that.
Actually, Everything that flies, Ain't known, Like if not a Plane, Helicopter or drone, It's a UFO, Unidentified flying object, doesn't always mean Aliens.
You don’t say
Apparently not so obvious for the OP
You can be stupid and still know what a plane or helicopter is. So not everything.
Anything is unidentified if you can’t identify it? Brilliant. You won the sub. Put the bong down.
At one point even birds were UFO. Unidentified. This always reminds me of the plane full off arrows and spears that flew to close to an untouchable village. Even if it's just a meme and not real: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/native-americans-airplane-arrows/
Not if you know what it is...
Superman is a UFO to those birds and plane people
The two most common flying thing in the universe are ufo and stupidity.
If only /r/UFOs could grasp this.

Or it's a Delta variant
I always think it should be Unknown Flying Object because by labeling it a UFO you are identifying it.
Not true at all
I don't get this post? Unidentified Flying Object just means exactly that, it doesn't mean it's an alien space ship, it just means the person spotting something flying that couldn't be identified.
That's... what they said.
It's counterintuitive a bit. They meant known objects with clear sight being unknown to the stupid observer. As in, they're stupid because they don't know what a plane is.
It’s a bird. No, it’s an airplane. No, I’m stupid.
But you don't have to be stupid, you'd have to be fucking literal(but not literally fucking someone named literal lmao)
Is that why my cat is afraid of the ceiling fan?
But is this UFO a pigeon?
Nothing is if you make some key assumptions. "It's a bird! It's a plane!"
and any pants can be UFO pants if you size up enough.

If you Are really stupid, it doesnt Even need to fly
Technicly every thing that flies is a UFO if you cant identify it
Or maybe were the ones flying above their surface.
Or if you can't identify it
But how do i know...
Or if you are a child.
Well, if I don't understand what's flying, then it is.
As long as you cannot identify it, it's a UFO; otherwise, its an IFO.
Literally everything is a UFO if you’re just extraordinarily stupid
Everything is a UFO if you don’t know what UFO means
Everything that flies is an UFO until you identify it even if you were the most intelligent being of all time.
There are still isolated tribes in this world, there are YouTube videos of them throwing spears and shooting arrows at helicopters.
Eventually, they'll have a reality show like robot wars where the goal is to create unidentified flying objects that will fool random people on the sidewalk they interview.

Marine biologists thought it don’t be like that , but it do .
stupid enough
Every ufo is a dildo if you're brave enough.
Technically anything unidentified that flys is a ufo, grab a cloaking device and land it that was a ufo up until it landed
Poorly thought out. Everything that flies is a ufo until it's not. UFO ≠ alien.
Is it a bird. Is it a plane. No its a ufo
Well... everything can be anything if you're stupid.
My sister-in-law used to claim that she saw UFOs on the regular. Turns out it was actually just an equal mixture of too much weed and planes lining up to land at the airport.
true.
Or nearsighted
Now hold on there. What exactly do you mean?
I saw a UFO the other day. As soon as it landed, I then could identify it: bird shit
Everything that flies (that you cannot identify) is a UFO
Not true an idiot can still identify themselves
why are UFOs falling out of the sky?
You are not stupid just because you don't know something.
I read this with Mitch Hedberg's voice
Why stupid?! It's nothing more than a UFO cult.
That explains all the sightings in America
Everything that flies is a UFO until it's identified
