UFO - unidentified flying object - a vision in the sky of some sort. Maybe an "angel", or maybe referring to an actual UFO, He's not sure WHAT it is, but it's flyng. Past history shows a lot of Eels music with a theme of flying; birds, airplanes and the like. Things closer to the heavens than ourselves, if you will.
"Saw a UFO, and it made me cry, could I be so stupid as to think that I'm gonna be here forever?" A glimpse of his own mortality here, maybe. No one lives forever
And then it disappears, leaving "him" to wonder when it will be back - for him? Maybe death / leaving is nothing to be afraid of.
"All the love in the world inside of you..." I believe he's talking to himself here. This love he has insude will have to be enough until that time of leaving, whenever that comes.
Here's one take on the song:
