Well, "UFO" is "Unidentified Flying Object". If a pig in a red wingsuit flies over your house and you don't identify it as a pig, it is an UFO, technically.

AND conversely, if you identify a flying saucer as being a T4400 from the planet Zorglub, then it is not a UFO

And THAT'S what alen flight trackers and extraplanetary spacecraft catalogues are good for!
