NASA will also try to explain UFOs

After the attempts of American intelligence, then of the Pentagon, hence the chance for NASA to look at the presence of these objects moving for example in an abnormal or very fast way in our environment, phenomena that cannot be explained in light. current state of our knowledge.

There is no proof that these phenomena have extraterrestrial origins, the space agency immediately stressed.

But if someone asks me if I think there is compelling evidence of intelligent life in any of these phenomena, I will give a perfectly acceptable answer for a scientist, which I do not knowsaid Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator at NASA, at a press conference.

However, the topic could not be more important, as it relates to both national security and air traffic, the American agency argued.

The study will be conducted by leading scientists and aeronautical experts. Scheduled to begin in early fall, it should last nine months and lead to a report being made public.

Three goals were announced: to gather data that already exists, to determine what is missing and how best to collect it, and to decide which tools will review it in the future.

We already have a limited compilation of these sightingsstated at the same press conference David Spergel, astrophysicist placed in charge of this work. This makes it difficult to draw conclusions.

However, mountains of data actually exist, according to NASA experts, who want to collect them from governments, private companies, associations or even individuals.

The allocated budget should not exceed $ 100,000.

There are many unexplained phenomena

The idea is to destigmatize the subject. One of the results of this study for me is to be understood by all […] that the scientific process is valid for dealing with all problems, including this onelaunched Thomas Zurbuchen, who says he himself decided to open this investigation.

In June 2021, U.S. intelligence claimed in a long-awaited report that there was no evidence of the existence of extraterrestrials, while acknowledging that dozens of phenomena observed by military pilots were unexplained.

And last month, for the first time in more than 50 years, the U.S. Congress held a public hearing about it.

According to the Pentagon, an increasing number of unknown objects have been reported in the sky over the past 20 years. And they inevitably evoke the most misguided speculations.

I think new scientific mechanisms will be discoveredfor his part Thomas Zurbuchen was judged. There are many instances where something that appears almost fascinating has become a new scientific impact.

Never underestimate what nature is capable ofHe added.

The experts made sure to start this project without any preliminary ideas. But for David Spergel, UFOs are likely to combine different phenomena that cannot be put under one explanation.

The study may not immediately explain many aspectshe admits, but should instead provide a roadmap for moving towards this goal in the future.

NASA is already looking for extraterrestrial life in space, for example by finding traces of ancient life in microbial form on Mars, or for technosignatures from other planets (signals indicating the existence of technologies).

But this is the first time the U.S. space agency has seriously considered this possibility on Earth.

I don’t think anyone has looked systematically at unspecified aerial events in the past., said Daniel Evans, responsible for coordinating the study for the space agency. But Over the decades, NASA has answered the call to tackle some of the most confusing mysteries we know, and it’s no different..
