Buffoons regularly see these!? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ufos

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'these?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'buffoons regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternating letters of 'buffoons' are 'UFOS'.

'see' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ufos that I've seen before include "Roswell sightings?" , "Potential alien craft" , "Strange aerial objects" , "Supposed spaceships" , "Mysterious things" .)
