It is Unidentified Aerial Phenomena now, and I like that because it carries a lot less baggage.
Even so, no mention of Extraterrestrials or vehicles, as those definitions require physical proof.
What we have are anomalous fast moving, appearing, disappearing, hovering, illuminated atmospheric phenomena that appear intelligently controlled.
Possibilities:
-Military dark projects
-GeoPhysical energies
-Us in the future, visiting.
-Dimensional entities
-Spiritual beings
-Probes from and extraterrestrial source
-Aliens in vehicles from and extraterrestrial source.
One or more of the above will probably be correct, but disclosure is still as elusive as ever.

This one might be believable in part.
Why do some of these nutjobs pick Venus.
Has to be a nasty place.
The measurements by Venera 4 of the equatorial surface temperature indicate that the microwave readings were high, so that the polar ice caps may be allowed to exist in the face of the 10-centimeter readings of polar temperature. Life seems to be distinctly possible at the edges of the ice sheets
Although the size and mass of Venus are similar to the Earth, its thick carbon-dioxide atmosphere has trapped heat so efficiently that surface temperature usually exceeds 700 kelvins, hot enough to melt lead.
Esa's Venus Express probe gathered data during its last few months
The planet's polar atmosphere is up to 70°C colder than expected
Atmosphere at the poles is also much less dense than predicted
Polar region was found to be dominated by strong atmospheric waves
Yes. The lower reaches of Venus' thermosphere (at 130-140 km above the surface) are colder than anywhere on Earth.

Venus Express' dying moments rewrite what we know about the planet: Probe reveals the poles are colder than anywhere on Earth and covered by 'atmospheric waves'

The broader significance of these differences is that the assumptions of solar zenith angle symmetry underlying VTS3 are too simplistic for high latitudes, where other factors such as winds may lead to polar temperatures in the lower thermosphere being cooler than expected from solar forcing alone.

When Dr Müller-Wodarg and colleagues gathered their observations, Venus Express was orbiting at an altitude of between 81 and 87 miles (130 and 140 kilometres) near Venus' polar regions, in a portion of Venus' atmosphere that had never before been studied.

Thought I would post this one. It's not every day a mainstream site quotes government officials saying we've got actual UFO's out there.
www.newsweek.com...
Oh well, someone from the government said stuff. It must be true. No one from the government is human and would ever lie to us now would they.......
Who needs proof of something proven beyond a reasonable doubt?
Nope, not me.

I am also fairly certain if this was fabricated, the government would have spoken out by now.

The US government's program may have been doomed from the start by them contracting Robert Bigelow to gather and evaluate the data. The evidence the program should be opened up for evaluation, but we should be prepared to jettison whatever Bigelow had to say about it.
Here's my recent piece on the reporting on the story and some of the issues the media has yet to consider while hyping it.
