This is the dumbest thing to nitpick but the phrase “real UFO” bothers me any UFO is a real UFO as long as it’s unidentified and flying because that’s what those words mean weather or not it’s an alien is a different matter it could be a pancake someone threw real hard as long as you don’t know that’s what it is it’s a UFO
i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again: anything is a UFO if you’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 the ‘unidentified’ and ‘object’ criteria, without flying, and therefore qualify as a ‘fake UFO’.
this may be the most pedantic thing I’ve ever written in my life
and we love you for it
