Yes, strictly in the context of a flying object, unorthodox in appearance, that has not been officially identified. However, just because an aircraft assumes an unconventional appearance is by no means indicative of the handywork of a non-terrestrial intelligence.
As one who believes in the existence of both extraterrestrials and flying saucers, I simultaneously have adopted the conclusion that the two phenomena are ultimately unrelated to each other.
The aerodynamics of a frisbee has supposedly remained an ongoing mystery to aeronautical engineers, or so the official record would lead to us believe. But, the appearance of flying saucers in and of themselves may indeed be evidence with which to purport otherwise.
Indeed, recently released information of such top-secret Third Reich projects as the BMW Flugelrad are highly indicative that flying-disc technology was actively undertaken by German scientists during the Second World War. In a similar vein in which various advancements in avionics, such as rocketry, delta-wings, and guided missile technology, were redistributed to the Western Allies after V-E day, it's just as logical to assume that these flying discs were just another form of experimental aircraft to be tweaked and studied in the post-war period. In fact, this is probably the most logical explanation for the origin of the alleged wreckage that formed the backbone of the Roswell incident.
Furthermore, I myself have come to believe that the Canadian AVROCar project was nothing more than a cover, with the ultimate goal of convincing Soviet intelligence that the Western allies had failed to successfully harness the potential of flying disc technology, or that the potential of these contraptions was, at best, negligible.
Alien enthusiasts who insist that flying saucers are indicative of extra-terrestrial technology frequently hit snags in their attempts to explain away the prevalence of an apparent government coverup regarding these contraptions, or why government officials always seem to be conveniently on hand to confiscate any evidence whenever the flying saucers show up.
The prospect that these flying discs are simply just another form of experimental aircraft, the potential of which is still classified, effectively remedies the holes in these theories, and thus offers a much more conventional and plausible explanation for the existence of flying saucers, altogether.
In many ways, overzealous UFO enthusiasts have a tendancy to ground their views more in religion than science. In the same way in which a religious fanatic would attribute anything not easily explanable as the product of divine intervention, UFO enthusiasts are just as quick to classify any wierd looking aircraft as the end-product of an extra-terrestrial intelligence.
Hypothetically, had sightings of the F-117 occured during the early eighties, at a time before the type itself was officially unveiled to the public, there is little doubt in my mind that many observors would have by default concluded that the Stealth Fighter was in fact an alien spacecraft, strictly on account of its unorthodox appearance.

I think to assume we are the only race inhabiting this infinite universe is a very ignorant and narrow minded point of view. We have absolutley no idea what the universe holds, as well as what happened before we arrived. When will our kind learn to stop fighting each other and live in peace, we could unite and explore space together as a planet and who knows what we could accomplish. What we have to fear most is ourselves, not what we don't know of.

Yes UFOS are real .. Just think about it we can not be the only life in the universe. So yes they are very much real..

Yes, aliens are visiting us, though my personal slant is that a being from the solar system of Epsilon Eridani was tortured and murdered in 1961 by US commander Frank Drake, more well known as an astronomer.
I'm also claiming that mysterious deaths of personnel who worked in British television are purely and simply more mysterious deaths within Marconi-related industries.......there is a "BBC TV/Marconi" complex near to USAF Bentwaters, so I'm taking the attitude that say, Jill Dando, Laura Sadler, Christopher Price - use the internet to find out about these dead TV employees if you are nor British - are definitely more outward signs of the hellish Marconi syndrome....I've got a lot to say about this.....respond with your phone number or something allowing more commodious communication if you can......

since ufo stand for unidentified flying object,the snswer is yes. there is always something unexplained but i believe some are hoaxes but some are true visitors from other worlds. Now before some of you get your panties in a wad here goes my thinking on this issue.We cannot do what is within our imagination like travel through space and time as it seems the objects that are viewed in some reports have done.one reason is this we dont have the knowledge or technology.First, we all know the speed of light is impossible but i think there are ways around this to travel vast distances without light travel. If a craft could be built that could generate its own gravity thus also using gravity from other planets such as ours then traveleling through space could be possible.Now, gravity distorts (space&time). You cannot distort space without distorting time or vice versa.Both are distorted simultaneously.So if you could create a distortion in the front of your craft such as a down hill, your craft would generate greater speeds that we know of and following the distortion as you move forward (hence you are also distorting time as well) then the distance is as time is shorter.

Of course. Why else would you have such technology at such a great speed.
But not quick enough.

Yes, I've seen them myself. Whether or not they are truly extraterrestial or an illusion the government creates is what needs to be known. Time-travelers from a distant future or past, advanced civilizations in earths distant past---then they went beyond us to other worlds and come back fora "sentimental journey" is what I'd research. It has been said we've had no time travel tourists in masse visiting us, which would seem to prove time travel is impossible. But maybe you could view certain coordinates on the planet in the past or future,but you couldn't physically "jump" into the scenery.

If UFOs are real then why mankind has started to see it just from 20th centuary? And if aliens were technologically more stronger than we were in 1908 then they should have invaded the Earth uptill now.
