I have a hypothesis about UFOs that everyone needs to ponder.

You know how they are frequently just simple shapes? Okay well imagine you are making a game and you need an object to act as your player and you don't care what it looks like. The easiest way is to just drop in a primitive shape. So you just drop in a cylinder or whatever because it doesn't matter.

I think that might be the kind of thing that's going on with UFO shapes, assuming they are extraterrestrial in origin.

Pondered, I have no idea what you're alluding to.

I think he's suggesting maybe we're in a simulation and the people writing the code are testing in prod.

You think you're good enough for prod?

So many more things make sense in that light!

It's called a Capsule Container, and it's a common replacement for an AABB or Sphere bounding container when representing avatars.
