First you go on to say that people shouldn't be saying it's "alien" because it is only a Unidentified Flying Oject. But right after that you say that it's something natural! LOL!!!!
If you don't know what it is, how can you tell someone what it isn't, then tell them what it is and expect them to accept it, just like you accepted what they believe it to be?
I, for one, cannot tell them what it is, or what it isn't.
You should read a little more carefully.
A UFO is simply that. Nothing can be derived from that definition save that it's an object that is flying and that it is unidentified.
People shouldn't be saying it's anything other than that, because that is all that can be derived from the observation (it's why we coined the phrase, "UFO"). There doesn't seem to be any conflict here.
No one's telling them anything about what it is, or what it isn't...simply that it is...and no one knows anything more. How difficult is that?
What was said here is that one should not speculate, because there is no evidence whatsoever to support
"alien spacecraft". It is also stated that some UFOs are resolved, i.e., later identified (a weather balloon, a large kite, some nut sitting in a lawn chair with 50 helium balloons attached to it at 13,500 feet, atmospheric phenomenon generated by chemical release by a sounding rocket at 40 miles altitude, etc.), and some are not.
They could be alien...but without any proof...it's folly to say so.
So laughing out loud is not exactly the appropriate thing to do....
