## UFO
92+
93+
A UFO is a raw canister, meaning any [canister](#canister) that is not a standard Juno [module](#modules) (i.e. not a [Satellite](#satellite), [Mission Control](#mission-control), or [Orbiter](#orbiter)).
94+
95+
UFOs can be registered and managed through the [Console](#console), giving you access to the same administration features available for other modules: metrics, settings, [controllers](#controller), and snapshots. They are also compatible with monitoring.
96+
97+
This is particularly useful for developers who want to spin up arbitrary canisters, for example on a local emulator to replicate a mainnet setup, while still benefiting from the Console's tooling.
