This is the dumbest thing to nitpick but the phrase ā€œreal UFOā€ bothers me any UFO is a real UFO as long as itā€™s unidentified and flying because thatā€™s what those words mean weather or not itā€™s an alien is a different matter it could be a pancake someone threw real hard as long as you donā€™t know thatā€™s what it is itā€™s a UFO

iā€™ve said it before, and iā€™ll say it again: anything is a UFO if youā€™re bad enough at identifying stuff

A counterproposal: in order to be a fake UFO, something can fail to be an object, or fail to be flying.

So the batsignal, improperly identified, could be a fake UFO, because although it appears in the sky and might be mistaken for a UFO, it is neither a physical object nor in any meaningful sense flying. Various light projections, optical illusions, and meteorological phenomena might fall into this category.

Additionally, seen from a distance or in poor lighting/visibility conditions, some sort of bulbous sculpture on a very tall thin support might also appear to be a UFO, and fulfill both theĀ ā€˜unidentifiedā€™ andĀ ā€˜objectā€™ criteria, without flying, and therefore qualify as aĀ ā€˜fake UFOā€™.

this may be the most pedantic thing Iā€™ve ever written in my lifeĀ 

and we love you for it

But if it was made by real aliens, then THEY obviously know what it is.

So, if it is an actual alien spaceship, then it is not unidentified, and is therefore not a real UFO.
