Do your research. It happens all over the world all of the time.

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.

>"Unidentified flying object" connotation being synonymous with aliens
"Unidentified flying object" isn't synonymous with aliens. "UFO" is. And this happens in language all the time.
>Technically even an airplane is a "UFO" until it is identified as such. Everything is unidentified until it is later identified.
No offense but this is the kind of logic a child would use. Do a bit of research on the etymology of "UFO".

Several countries have disclosed official documents of their history with the phenomenon. And they go well beyond what's observed with a camera.
