If an object is "flying" it is no longer considered an inanimate object, but rather an "animated" object. I don't mean to be a nerd by splitting hairs, but you have a little bit of an oxymoron going on there...

:redeme:

inanimate meaning not living.....that is the definition
1. not living: not alive

2. not lively: not active, energetic, or lively

3. relating to nouns for nonliving things: belonging to the category of nouns that refer to things and concepts considered to be without life
