Or, it becomes an IFO. When it lands it becomes an ILO.

You might confuse some SYS admins who deal with HP servers.

But since it's only exists in footage or computer generated graphic, it should be referred to as .obj

as soon as you call it a UFO, its identified, making it a FO.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

No, it isn't.

Unidentified is a lack of identification, not a type of identification.

Null != 0.

Say I went out into the woods, found a patch of mushrooms.

I know some mushrooms are edible. That doesn't mean the random fungi I found is.

So it's a mushroom (Flying object corollary) but I can't tell what type it is (unidentified) and thus eating it is probably a bad idea.

Could an expert identify it? Probably.

And if you pull in a lot of resources, that flying object probably could be identified.

That doesn't mean Bubba on a trip to the outhouse after too much moonshine can identify it, thus from his perspective it is absolutely a UFO.

Just because something CAN be identified, does not mean it was identified.

But I'm just arguing semantics to kill some time until my shift ends.

If you breach the door it becomes either Greys or Russians or the CIA.

To me, they’re all just called hoaxes.

Lol, technically it's true. Made my day!
