NASA Releases UFO Report And Says More Science And Less Stigma Are Needed To Understand Them
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – According to NASA, studying UFOs would necessitate new scientific approaches, such as improved satellites and a shift in how unidentified flying objects are seen.
The space agency revealed the findings after a year-long investigation into UFOs.
An independent team commissioned by NASA warned in a 33-page report that the negative view of UFOs is impeding data collection. Officials said NASA’s involvement will help lessen the stigma associated with UAPs, or unidentified abnormal phenomena.
“We want to shift the conversation about UAPs away from sensationalism and towards science,” stated NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. He vowed to be open and transparent.
According to officials, the team found no proof that UAPs were of extraterrestrial origin. Nelson, on the other hand, admitted that another Earth could exist with billions of stars in billions of galaxies out there.
“If you ask me if I believe there is life in a universe so vast that it’s difficult for me to comprehend how big it is,” Nelson remarked at a news conference. His experts estimate the probability of life on another Earth-like planet to be “at least a trillion.”
When reporters pressed Nelson on whether the United States or other governments are harboring aliens or unearthly spaceships, Nelson replied, “Show me the evidence.”

NASA has stated that it does not deliberately seek out unusual sightings. However, NASA maintains a fleet of Earth-circling spacecraft that can assist in determining, for example, whether a peculiar event is caused by weather.
The 16-member group stated that artificial intelligence and machine learning are critical for detecting unusual phenomena such as UFOs.
NASA recently selected a director for UFO research but is not disclosing his or her identity to protect them from the same threats and harassment that panel members received during the study.
“That’s why we’re not putting our new director’s name out there because science needs to be free.” “Science requires a real, rigorous, and rational process, and you need freedom of thought to do that,” said Dan Evans, NASA’s representative to the panel.

The scientists, aviation and artificial intelligence professionals, and retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, the first American to spend nearly a year in orbit, had no access to top-secret files. Instead, the group relied on unclassified data to better comprehend unexpected sky-sightings.
According to officials, there are so few high-quality observations that scientific conclusions cannot be reached. According to panel chairman David Spergel, head of the Simons Foundation, a scientific research organization, most instances may be ascribed to planes, drones, balloons, or weather circumstances.
The government classifies unexplained sightings as UAPs rather than UFOs. NASA defines them as sightings in the sky or elsewhere that cannot be easily identified or explained scientifically.
The study began a year ago and cost less than $100,000.
