Be careful of what you believe you "know" and what you are calling a "fact."

U.F.O.

Unidentified - sure, you saw something but you don't recognize it - it is unidentified

Flying - Do you really know it was flying? Since you aren't sure what it was, can you really know it was flying and not just falling? You saw it moving but a man without a parachute will also move and yet he would not be flying.

Object - Can you be sure it was an object and not just a glint in your eye or a reflection off a lens or some atmospheric condition? Cloud to cloud lightning can look like an object but isn't. A laser light show can look like objects but isn't. Even spot lights from a car dealership can look like something moving across the sky but is really just a reflection. Since whatever you saw was unidentified, can you really say it was an actual object and not just a trick of light?

I suspect it is likely you saw something you didn't recognize but you don't know that it was flying or that it was actually an object. Others may report seeing the same thing but they don't have any proof that it was flying or it was an object either. It was certainly Unidentified but you cannot know for a fact that it was an Unidentified Flying Object.
