Astronomical Object

The Resume

    Acronym for Unidentified Flying Objects
    Usually used to describe various phenomena that are thought to be crafts piloted by intelligent beings from other worlds

Why they might be annoying:

    Although UFO/Unidentified Flying Object were once terms to describe anything in the sky that no one identify (hence the name) they have degenerated in meaning to describe what are believed to be spacecraft from outer space.
    Most UFO's are eventually ID'd as perfectly normal phenomena.
    Even those who believe that UFO's are of extra-terrestrial origin can't agree on what they are (spacecraft, angels, living beings, etc.) or where they are from (outer space, inside the earth, other dimensions, the future, etc.).
    The United States Air Force spent several years and a lot of our money on an investigation called Project Blue Book that identified a lot (but not all) of UFO sightings as natural phenomena. In other words, they spent a lot of our money and solved nothing.
    Let's face it, if UFO's really were from other planets the government would try to cover it up.
    The aliens from the UFO's have been accused of killing and mutilating livestock and sexually abusing people.

Why they might not be annoying:

    The accusations of molesting people and killing cows are so far unsubstantiated.
    Some are thought to be friendly and let's face it. If they aren't friendly there's not a whole lot we can do about it.
    They have been featured in a big chunk of science fiction.
    They seem to be apolitical.
    They represent several different races: little green men, blond Nordic types, and little gray fellers who seem to be at peace with each other.
    They are far more advanced scientifically than we are and despite that haven't tried to conquer us. Yet.
