A UFO manned by aliens that identify as genderfluid.

That statement self-contradicts, you have identified the object you previously declared a UFO

Did I type out UFO? I meant to write IFS (Identified Flying Snowflake)
[QUOTE=Blizzerd;51291055]What is a modern ufo[/QUOTE]
The general modern understanding of the word UFO is most often implying some kind of air (or space) craft.
Since a hundred years ago aircraft were barely a thing, if someone saw something strange in the sky they wouldn't assume it was some kind of secret prototype or alien invaders, those ideas hadn't really entered the popular space yet.
The most common single object in the sky reported as a UFO is [I]the moon[/I]. This includes police officers "giving chase" over winding roads and not realizing that it's their heading changes combined with the parallax effect that gives the illusion that the moon is "moving".
Given that, I'm waiting for extraordinary proof. That's the one thing consistently lacking.
Shit around Area 51 is almost guaranteed prototype aircraft. And for people pointing out that only explains sightings over the desert, let me remind you that [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_SR-71_Blackbird#Records"]the top confirmed speed experienced in the SR-71 Blackbird is 2,193.2 mph, or Mach 3.3[/URL], but as many details as possible about the Blackbird were classified for as long as possible. At that speed, leaving the US South [I]accidentally[/I] is a trivial act. High-speed jet prototypes could easily cross vast distances at speeds much greater than the average American civilian would have understood aircraft to be capable of at the time.

Thats not a UFO at all, you have just identified it as a space alien or a secret aircraft...
A UFO is an unidentified flying object, as soon as you know its space aliens, an airplane of some sorts, a flying treetrunk or a nuclear bombs powered manhole lid its no longer a UFO
Sorry i have to be pedantic about this but i feel your entire argument is built on this false premise.

Could only even begin to reach that at altitudes when it is no longer visible with the eye, let alone track it with a binocs or whatever.

We don't [I]know[/I] it's any of those things, they're just flying objects that theorize crop up around, and the most common theory tends to be aliens. So UFO has become shorthand for "mysterious alien craft".
Why are you even trying to argue this.
[QUOTE=LtKyle2;51290074]I think if they took a look at us as a species they'd say "uhh..sorry but you guys seem to be a little hostile to each other so until you fix that we're gonna have to say no."

Alien occupation sounds more preferable to a Trump presidency when I think about it.[/QUOTE]
So long as our "alien overlords" aren't too authoritarian or violent, I'd welcome their jurisdiction.
I imagine they'd have better healthcare too. After all, whether they use cryo-chambers or generation ships, a space-faring race would NEED proper healthcare to make it between stars.

More of an idea than a thing. Like [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1539981&p=51293475&viewfull=1#post51293475]elowin[/url] said, the idea didn't become popular until aerial vehicles became a thing. Before then if you saw something in the sky, you probably wouldn't consider the possibility that someone was inside flying around. I'm not even sure if Aliens were an idea at all back then. It wasn't until we took to the skies ourselves that we started thinking that way, and our pilots started complaining about "Foo Fighters". After WW2 the term UFO became popular in the civilian world and since then has narrowed to be a catch-all for any alien aircraft, flying or landed. I believe the military still uses "UFO" with it's original meaning, an unidentified flying object, which can be anything from a weather phenomenon to a misidentified regular old aircraft.

ive wanted this to happen for a very long time. Very much a 'childhoods end' type of thing.
