Literally. Unidentified Flying Object, that is. Not necessarily a space craft from an alien nation. Think about it--if you were up there, and casually discussing it with Mission Control, you could very well say that you're discussing the "alien spacecraft". Astronauts have a sense of humor, too (at least a couple of 'em :-). If this single transmission is all you've got to go on, I wouldn't start packing your bags yet.
