I get your point but after awhile some terms just get certain cultural meanings and associations. So, yes anything flying in the sky that isn't identified is a UFO and yes obviously I believe that there could be something in the sky that is unidentified for a period that has nothing to do with aliens. That said, in a cultural sense if somebody says 'UFO' nearly every person in our societies think of aliens.
