The USAF. which coined the term in 1952, initially defined UFOs as those objects that remain unidentified after scrutiny by expert investigators.
This is logically impossible. if you know its a coin it cannot be unidentified. for it is a coin!
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.
I'm sorry, but what year?

I think the term UFO began with the Roswell, NM crash.

The term UFO was first heard around 1952 in the wake of the Roswell, NM crash site.
UFO stands for, unidentified flying object, therefore any flying object not identified or recognized could be called a UFO, though that term is usually now a days used to describe a flying saucer. The UFO crew are ETS, or E.T.s ~ extraterrestrials.
Well the term UFO stands for unidentified flying object, so anything that is flying and is not identified is considered a UFO, but the ones you are talking about, yes
The year 2007 had 15 reported sightings.
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.
