Popis:	I derive a lower limit on the mass of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) based on measurements of its speed and acceleration, as well as the infrared luminosity of the airglow around it. If the object's radial velocity can be neglected, the mass limit is independent of distance. Measuring the distance and angular size of the object allows to infer its minimum mass density. The Galileo Project will be collecting the necessary data on millions of objects in the sky over the coming year. Comment: 4 pages, submitted for publication in an AAS journal
