Ace investigative reporter / blogger "Scoop Jupiter" ("pictured" above) has suggested that the time has come to retire the acronym "UFO" - just as "flying saucer" was generally retired many years ago - in favour of UAP, or "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena."
Check out his column at www.scoopjupiter.blogspot.com/2005/07/acronym-ufo.html
This may seem to be a step backwards to some - NICAP, after all, stood for National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena - but that may not be a bad thing, given that the acronym "UFO" is probably indelibly linked with the Extraterrtestrial hypothesis now.

Ironically, the Meier "case" catalyzed my interest in UFOs back in elementary school. I read Kinder's "Light Years" and was fascinated.
