Just been reading about that. UFO's certainly exist - it stands for "unidentified flying object". Extra-terrestrial spacecraft almost certainly don't exist in our skies.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Currently the story seems perfectly poised in that there must be either more to it, or less to it than we know.

And so the world ended not with a whimper but with a balloon

Fighter pilots spotted a small black bear hanging from the balloon, singing "how sweet to be a cloud" - the Chinese clearly  trying to trick the Americans into thinking it was a weather balloon. The latest object was itself disguised as a cloud, being dark-coloured and octagonal, eliminating the need for a bear.
