No, it doesn't. Not in the context of "UFO".

The term was created by the United States Air Force as a catch-all for intelligently controlled craft. The "Unidentified" portion of it applies to the technology, behavior, & origin. "Object" is understood to be a craft or machine, for lack of a better term.

It's not for a viewer who can't quite tell if something is a bird or a balloon.
