1. So, to describe the cargo...

A "full emergency" was declared Thursday on Delta Flight 70 from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Mumbai, India, "due to an unidentified object on a pallet in the cargo hold," Mumbai airport spokesman Manish Kalghatgi said.

It's an unidentified object on a flight. So it was flying. So it's an Unidentified Flying Object. OMG, it's a UFO!
