A committee of NASAformed last year to study what the government calls “unidentified aerial phenomena,” commonly described as UFOsis due to hold its first public meeting today, before drawing up a report, which is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
This 16-member bodywhich includes experts from fields ranging from physics to astrobiology, was formed last June to review UFO sightings and other data collected by civilian sectors of government and commerce.
Today’s four-hour public meeting will focus “on final discussions before the agency’s independent research team releases a report this summer,” NASA said in announcing the meeting.
This committee is conducting the first such survey ever conducted under the auspices of the space agency USA on a matter that the government once confined to the exclusive and confidential purview of military and national security officials.
Her study NASA is separate from a new Pentagon investigation into Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), which have been documented in recent years by military aircraft pilots and analyzed by U.S. defense and intelligence officials USA.
Her parallel efforts NASA and his Pentagon – both conducted with some public scrutiny – mark a U-turn by the government after decades of dismissing reports of unidentified flying object sightings (ATIA, UFOs) dating back to the 1940.
The term UFO, long associated with flying saucers and aliens, has been replaced in government jargon by the term UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena).
While its scientific mission NASA seen by some as promising a more open approach to a subject long treated as taboo by the defense establishment, the US space agency made it clear from the start that it was not going to jump to conclusions.
“There is no evidence that the UAP are of extraterrestrial origin,” NASA said in announcing the commission’s formation last June, according to anma
In its most recent statements, the agency hinted at a potential change to the UAP acronym itself, referring to it as an abbreviation of “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena» (Anomalous Phenomena of Unknown Identity). This means that sightings other than those that appear to occur on air may be included.
However, in announcing today’s meeting, NASA said it defines UAPs “as observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or as known natural phenomena from a scientific perspective.”
US defense officials have said the Pentagon’s recent effort to investigate such sightings has resulted in hundreds of new reports being investigated, though most remain unexplained.
The head of his new agency Pentagon The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has stated that the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life has not been ruled out, however none of the sightings of unidentified flying objects have provided evidence that they were of extraterrestrial origin.
