Perhaps we need a new category of UFA.
I recommend that it be called TITS: Thing In The Sky


Speaking of abbreviations and Visual ID, I recall over 30 years ago a Navy Fighter Pilot with the call sign Streak briefing a room full of aviatiors on a thing he called T.I.T.S. -- the Tomcat Integrated Telescope System, which was quite similar to the rig gums referred to with hunting scopes mounted in the cockpit.
