This article discusses an ‘unidentified’ UFO. Unless I am out to lunch, UFO stands for ‘unidentified flying object’. How then, can there be an ‘identified’ ‘unidentified flying object’? If it is identified, how can it remain an ‘unidentified’ flying object. Reminds me of how many people say silly things like ‘almost unique’! Something is either ‘unique’, or it is not!
It sounds like remedial English grammar lessons are sorely needed.

C’mon, man! You know that be raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacist.
Heh, good one. Perhaps it was identified as unidentified.
We had this clunky terminology to deal with when I worked with MUFON.
Not related to the “objects” talked about in this article, but I’m surprised very few people ever entertain the possibility that some of these “UFO”s aren’t ships at all, but lifeforms. Lifeforms that can’t travel through space, and are very long lived and/or exceedingly fast.
They really should have called it an unidentified UFO object.
Agreed. Where I teach, we used to use the term “Student Assistance Team,” which was also called “SAT” for short...and which most people then referred to as the SAT Team or SAT Committee.
SMH...
Reporter or headline writer thinks that UFO is a word and means flying saucer. An identified UFO is one for which we know the model and registration.
