The IDobject is an ongoing collection of objects which give the illusion of not being the normal ordinary objects to which we are accustomed. Weather, visibility, environment, terrain, time of day, human vision, human fatigue, and the lack of knowledge about the object are a few of the possible reasons for the misidentification of an object. The IDobject may assist the UFO field investigator and the general public when considering normal objects as the potential source of the observed object. The IDobject is NOT designed to explain, trivialize, or debunk any object witnessed by an observer.
 
In UFO investigation, research, and literature, objects are generally considered to have aerodynamic qualities, flying, and/or aquatic qualities, submerged. The following terms are normally used:
 
IFO Identified Flying Object
ISO Identified Submerged Object
UFO Unconventional Flying Object
UFO Unidentified Flying Object
USO Unidentified Submerged Object
 
 

The IDobject deals with IFO and ISO objects. The design of the IDobject attempts to organized objects in a method in which the viewer, based on the environment of the sighting, can easily check photos and video clips of known objects, that may resemble the object observed, to assist in confirming and/or eliminating the known object as the source of the object observed.

 
In books written by Arthur Conan Doyle, the fictional character Sherlock Holmes has stated :
  "Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth."
      and
  "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible,
    whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
