Well, to answer the question literally, there are objects which fly, and not all of them are identified.
Do I think think there are UFOs of extraterrestrial origin? Certainly. Every meteorite that hits the Earth is an extraterrestrial UFO, but most are just space dust. I think it's possible that some meteorites may carry spores of microbes from elsewhere in the solar system, but they are likely to be so rare that we may never find one, and may not identify it if we do.
Okay, so stop beating about the bush. Do I think that intelligent extraterrestrial life has visited Earth? I think it very unlikely, but not impossible. I think that any lifeform that has visited Earth would either observe us invisibly, and we'd never know about it, or strip mine the whole planet for its resources. Thankfully the latter hasn't happened. Or maybe we're the aliens and it's happening now...
