Imagine if a spokesman for the Pentagon is giving a press briefing.
"As it has been repeatedly said - these Cessna-like objects—"
A young, green reporter doesn't follow well-established Pentagon press conference protocol and blurts out: "Excuse me! Cessna-like?!?"
"I... I misspoke. These cylinder-like..." He clears his throat. "These cylindrical objects"
"I must interrupt. Were any of 'objects' shot down small aircraft?"
Try as he might the spokesman can't help sounding like a guilty little kid who let the cat out of the bag. "The most recent three objects are cylindrical. Therefore they were not small aircraft..."

...Cessnas are kinda cylindrical when you ignore the wings. Actually all planes are.
Not all. Some planes are nothing like a cylinder, e.g.: P-38 lightning, Vought XF5U, Convair XFY-1 Pogo, F-117
