Well, that's an interesting question as it means something different to different people. Basically, it's an unfinished project that has been set aside (ignored???) for a period of time. For me, it's a project that's been sitting around untouched and unfinished for a year or more. For example, I've got a scrappy project that is approaching a year old but I work on it every couple of weeks so it is a WIP (Work In Progress) and won't turn up on my UFO list. I have another i picked up out of my UFO pile just the other day that will, I hope, be my first UFO finish of the year. It's been sitting around for the better part of a couple of years.
Most of us have their own time frames but here's the part that really counts: YOU determine the "UFOness" of a project. If you say it's a UFO, it's a UFO. No UFO police here.
