The direction from which an/the unidentified object approaches a/the house
"The direction from which an/the unidentified object approaches a/the house" was my first thought.
It would depend on the context. When, how many times, one house or many, one UFO or many, etc. It would also change if this was a stand alone sentence e.g. in a table or in a paragraph.

: I agree as well. Context would determine if the object is flying or not.

The direction the UFO approaches the house
Providing the UFO and the house is previously-established information. Could change depending on context.

Discussion
I regret that the equestion I selected ( which is surely dependent on the context) is not appropriate for checking the grammatical error in the expression "a direction of a UFO approaching the house"
