If it's an object, it's suspended in the air ("flying"), and you haven't identified it's nature or origin in any meaningful way, then in the most ham-fistedly literal sense, it's an Unidentified Flying Object. What am I missing, here?

While it may literally mean "unidentified flying object", in the USA it is synonymous for "Extra-Terrestrial Craft"
