Are there aliens or not? This is the question that many people ask, but the American space agency (NASA) still does not have an answer. This Thursday the agency presented the report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAF), but quickly warned that it was not a review or evaluation of previous unidentifiable observations. The search for extraterrestrial life continues, as NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has made clear. For now, you can consult the report here.
If you ask me if there is life in such an extensive universe? I think so,” Bill Nelson said at the press conference.
The report was presented by an independent team, made up of 16 experts dedicated to the study of UFOs and other anomalous aerial phenomena that have not yet been possible to identify. “NASA commissioned this study to examine UAFs from a scientific perspective and create a roadmap for how to use the data and tools of science to advance our understanding of UAFs.”
NASA defines UAPs as observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or scientifically known natural phenomena. Currently, there are a limited number of high-quality observations of UAPs, making it impossible to draw solid scientific conclusions about their nature,” the agency’s website says.
The live session that you can follow here starting at 3:00 p.m. aims to debate and comment on this same report.
The North American space agency decided to create this advisory group to study the UAP in order to use rigorous methods and draw conclusions based on evidence. On the other hand, NASA also hopes to be able Reduce the stigma to which, for example, pilots report the sighting of a phenomenon that they cannot explain..
The working group created by NASA is completely independent of the agency and aims to advise NASA on how studies should be conducted. The analysis of UAP data in the NASA database by the expert group. did not identify phenomena that could be associated with an extraterrestrial origin, but since it is not yet known what they are, NASA decided to create a specific unit for UAP studies and has already named a director (who was not identified at the press conference). Dan Evans, deputy administrator of NASA, also recalled that NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration – also has the mission of ensuring aeronautical safety.
Bill Nelson said at Thursday’s conference that he hopes NASA and the UAP group can turn “sensationalism into science.” The NASA administrator even admits that this is the first time the agency has taken concrete steps to conduct a rigorous study of UAPs. Nelson also guarantees that the results will be disclosed transparently, even if one of them is found to come from an intelligent extraterrestrial life form, as one journalist questioned.
NASA and other European agencies have a series of space telescopes (with eyes in the universe) and satellites orbiting the Earth, but, until now, with little intervention in the study of unidentifiable aerial phenomena. In fact, satellites that scan the Earth’s surface have little resolution to identify these small aerial phenomena, but they can still be useful in their study.
David Spergel, coordinator of the UAP group, asks everyone who can do so, that is, the pilots, to collect data as completely and accurately as possible. Spergel says that identifying truly anomalous phenomena is like finding a needle in a haystack. To find a needle in a haystack, you either know the needle you are looking for (which is not the case in UAP) or you know the straw in the haystack. In other words, it is necessary to know very well what is normal, to know what a plane or aircraft looks like to the eye in different conditions.
