It stands for Unidentified Flying Object. Which means exactly that. It doesn't have to be an alien ship, it means that it has not yet been identified. The are many reported UFO sightings that turn out to be the handiwork of humans.

Are there UFOs living on planet earth?

Let's start with what a UFO is. UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. Airports use this term to refer to any object on their radar that isn't supposed to be there. A UFO could be an airplane, a weird weather condition, etc. So, in the late 1940s and into the 1950s, the term, "UFO" started to be used to refer to 'Flying Saucers', and so forth. These were really UFOs, and were most likely experimental military aircraft. One thing a UFO is not, is an object from outside the Earth. There are no aliens from outer space on or near Earth.
