I'm a bit surprised by the loss of nuance in this and the CIA HN thread.

UFOs doesn't mean aliens, and equating the two limits fruitful discussions about the actual phenomena behind them, which in my opinion are much more interesting, and, based on your prior, also much more likely, e.g.

* yet unexplained physical/weather phenomena (see David Fraser et al. evidence)

* secret military technology (see SR-71 sightings)

* ... ?

Sure, people should at least use the more modern acronym UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), which is less descriptive and broader in scope than UFO.
