AFAICT the edit to this sentence means it no longer matches the English sentence. 飛行物体 seems an odd replacement for 飛行機. I'll recreate the original Japanese version.

UFO=「未確認飛行物体」、すなわち正体不明な空飛ぶ乗り物です。
一方で日本語の「飛行機」は空飛ぶ乗り物一般を表す事が出来ません。
文章中で「飛行機」という正体が明確に判明している乗り物を使ってしまうと、日本語としておかしな文章になってしまいます。

日本語で「飛行機とは到底思えない」と言う場合、それはそれが飛行機である(が信じがたい)事を意味します。
飛行機であれば、それはUFOではありません。
また、通常「飛行物体」という単語は「謎の飛行物体」などの使われ方しかされない為、代案の良い単語が有れば提案を歓迎します。

Quite possibly "飛行機とは到底思えない" was a clumsy way of rendering "you couldn't think of as being a plane" into Japanese, but changing 飛行機 to 飛行物体 doesn't really fix it, and seems to result in it being rather tautological.

@JimBreen、コメントありがとう!
「飛行機」を「飛行物体」へ変更する事がベストな解決案では無いという意見に同意します。
おっしゃる通り、変更しても不自然な日本語です。
但し、より良い代案も直ぐに思い浮かびません。
代案を検討すると共により良い修正案を募集します。
