Although certainly an abbreviation it has also been so commonly used as a word unto itself for so long that I think it is acceptable. In fact Google recognizes it as a word that was derived from the acronym of the same letters.


UFO
noun
noun: UFO; plural noun: UFOs
  1. a mysterious object seen in the sky for which, it is claimed, no orthodox scientific explanation can be found.
    synonyms:flying saucer, alien spacecraft/spaceship, unidentified flying object "the Phoenix police received sixteen calls about the sighting of a UFO last night"








Origin

1950s: acronym from unidentified flying object

No the acronym is for three words. As seen above UFO as such is now a word all on it's own.

Point of order? I suggest we agree upon a standard dictionary for challenges, just like scrabble.

I second the motion.
And for clarity lets just use the Scrabble one as it is probably the most appropriate for our purpose.
