Possible alien space craft

The term UFO is so inexact it often causes the idea of a possible alien space craft sighting to be dismissed simply because of it's widely possible interpretations. So if not UFOs then what would be a better term to call sightings of possible alien space craft?

Re: Possible alien space craft

I only laugh because it was obviously in the question,.. the answer. I vote for PASC.

Re: Possible alien space craft

Why does it have to a series of letters why not a name?

Re: Possible alien space craft

An acronym is necessary.

How about "Potential Extra-Terrestrial Object" (PETO).

Ok, for a PC name. Neighbor Locator!?

Re: Possible alien space craft

How about PETA Possible Extra Terrestrial Artifact, a PETO could be a meteor or a comet. Of course PETA also stands for People Eating Tasty Animals......

Re: Possible alien space craft

Let's not forget People Experimenting with Testable Animals.

Peto is better. Yet, for this purpose, I think "weird alien thing" would suffice.

WAT! maybe we should at least keep it sounding like something scientific. How about UEO Unknown Extraterrestrial Object?
