In the literal sense, yes - I have seen dozens of objects in the sky that I could not identify!
it does not follow, however, that any extraterrestrial explanation is needed. Any knowledge of astronomy reveals the vanishingly small likely-hood of alien visitors, so the law of parsimony demands a prosaic origin.

Very real, take this example:
If I throw a sausage at you, and you can't identify it whilst it's in in the air (i.e. flying) then it is an unidentified flying object. That is right up until the point where it hits you and you realize that some nob'ed has just thrown a half-cooked sausage at you...
And back to reality, yes unidentified flying objects are real, but that does not mean they're from outer space or anything silly like that, most likely, if you see something in the sky, it's a satellite, blimp, plane or a weather balloon. Nothing sinister that's going to do nasty things to you at night :-p Same for most of the UFO videos and UFO sightings, and as for alien abductions? Load of strange people who've had a bit to much of the happy grass.

A UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object. I saw one the other day. It was at a high altitude in a clear blue sky over London. Silver. No vapour trail, while other aircraft at same altitude were producing vapour. It was not on the usual glide path to anywhere in particular, just going west at about 35 to 40 thousand feet. It could simply have been an aircraft on a normal flight. No way of knowing exactly what it was. So let's call this a UFO.
A few years ago a UFO flew over head while I was driving my car. It turned out to be an escaped bunch of gas filled balloons.
There are probably thousands of sitings daily of UFOs which just go unreported. Many simply be high flying aircraft. Are some UFOs from outer space? Who knows?

UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. Therefore- anything in the sky that you can't identify is a UFO. Therefore UFOs exist, at least until whatever it is is identified.
UFO is not a term reserved solely for flying saucers, little green men from mars or bug eyed monsters.
As to whether any UFOs actually do come from other planets, I'm holding judgement.

Yes. I have seen them a couple of times. If you are that interested, check out the Roswell story. Major Jesse Marcell contended they are real to his dying day. Cave drawings of ufos have been found, a painting by DaVinci contains a drawing of a ufo. The universe is a big place and IF we are the only ones then that would be a waste of space

Well, a UFO is simply an unidentified flying object, so really anyone could've seen one. On the other hand, if they are "aliens" is a different story, and most likely is not true, many people form elaborate hoaxes and the UFO is never proved to be alien

Yes ~ I have seen UFO(s) & other paranormal objects as well as other people ~ I have my stories on my blog, and I have other people stories added linked to my blog.
I have never seen aliens ~ I believe in Jinns, which can transform into ET/Aliens & other things. If you would like to read more about Jinns as well, come to my blog.
Also, whenever you have time, look at ~ UFO Contactee ~ James Gilliland talking to Art Bell from Coast to Coast Radio~ Video ~ Part 1-12 ? I will add a link to part 3, which goes right into details.

An UFO is any unidentified flying object. Even if someone throw a 2 pence coin in the air and people didn't know what is was it's unidentified, flying and a object.
So yes they are real...
But if you mean aliens, then i have no idea, i think they may be real though.

The possibility of there being intelligent life out there with the capability and the desire to fly to Earth just for a quick look around is really extremely slim, something like winning the lottery every week for a decade.
So no, they're not real, only make believe I'm afraid.
