They are not called UFOs anymore. Now they are called UAPs.

Great. Now I have to spell aerial and phenomenon without getting the red squiggly line broadcasting that I can’t spell worth s#!@.

I suppose the reasoning behind the change is that all objects are phenomenon (phenomenea?) but not all phenomenon are objects. Either way, there’s something strange going on.

But is it really? I like a good alien scoop, but I’m not convinced that an advanced race would need to resort to party balloons … or am I?
