    No, it isn’t.

    Unidentified is a lack of identification, not a type of identification.

    Null != 0.

    Say I went out into the woods, found a patch of mushrooms.

    I know some mushrooms are edible. That doesn’t mean the random fungi I found is.

    So it’s a mushroom (Flying object corollary) but I can’t tell what type it is (unidentified) and thus eating it is probably a bad idea.

    Could an expert identify it? Probably.

    And if you pull in a lot of resources, that flying object probably could be identified.

    That doesn’t mean Bubba on a trip to the outhouse after too much moonshine can identify it, thus from his perspective it is absolutely a UFO.

    Just because something CAN be identified, does not mean it was identified.

    But I’m just arguing semantics to kill some time until my shift ends.
