Quite a few of them, depending on the time of day, time of year and your location on Earth at the time! Venus is usually only visible for an hour or so before dawn or after dusk, but it's generally much brighter than the stars and could easily be mistaken for a UFO. Huge Jupiter comes close enough to see with the naked eye on occasion, too. Again, it will probably appear brighter than most of the stars and seem to be impossibly big and bright to say that it's many millions of miles away.

Mars also comes close enough to be mistaken for a UFO, but is not seen shining closely and brightly as often as the other two planets I've mentioned. Mars is much closer but also much smaller in comparison. Mercury is tiny and too close to the sun to be visible most of the time, and the other planets are either too small, too far away, or both, to be mistaken for a UFO. Codeye 04:32, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
