What does this have to do with the article? The edited headline mentions UFOs presumably for clickiness value, but the article is about interstellar comets that show acceleration properties we're not sure about, like Oumuamua did.

Though I can understand the confusion, given the misleading headline and they never explain what UAP stands for (so it could be a euphemism for UFO since I imagine "ufo research" is a good way to get your funding cut). I happen to have read a book on Oumuamua so coincidentally know that this isn't exactly UAF (yes at this point I'm parodying U* TLAs) fighter pilot related.

The article also says UAPs. UAPs include UFOs but not interstellar comets and such stuff. The A stands for Aerial. The title is not misleading UAP is what normal people name UFO. Its just more correct because some things visible in the sky are not not flying and or not an object. for example ball lightnings.
