The research was conducted by an independent team of 16 scientists, data and artificial intelligence experts, and aviation safety experts.

“This is the first time NASA has taken a specific action to seriously consider UAPs,” NASA General Manager Bill Nelson said during a press conference at NASA headquarters in Washington DC, USA.

Contrary to expectations that an unusual incident could be announced, NASA soon quashed conspiracy theories about aliens, affirming that their experts found no signs of extraterrestrial origin. Land in reported sightings.

“NASA’s independent research team did not find any evidence that UAPs are of extraterrestrial origin,” said NASA Director General. “But obviously, we don’t know what these UAPs are. And it’s NASA’s job to find out the unknown.”

The search effort lasted decades

NASA’s decision to prioritize UAP research comes as the government becomes increasingly concerned by the growing number of sightings of unexplained objects in the sky, on the ground, and by other oceans. positive. 

According to a 2022 Office of National Intelligence report, a total of 247 UAPs have been reported since 2021, up from 263 between 2004 and 2021. 

The report shows that the majority of new UAP detection cases come from US Navy and Air Force personnel while on duty. 

Most notable was the encounter in 2004, when naval pilots discovered a white oblong object emerging from the ocean, then speeding across the water.

The object, called Tic Tac, is said to be “far superior to any technology or device at the time, today or that will be developed in the next 10 years”.

In 2014, another unusual incident occurred in military airspace off the east coast of the United States. Video recorded by the US Navy shows a flying object that they believe is not part of any drone program.

The strange thing is that the UFO accelerated to hypersonic speeds, stopped suddenly and changed direction instantly, something that human-controlled flying devices cannot do.

In 2021, Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon intelligence officer, revealed much evidence showing the existence of “Tic Tac UFO” (Photo: AP).

Many experts at that time said that the US government had hidden it, despite being aware of “non-human” activities since the 1930s.

It wasn’t until 2022 that NASA stepped up its efforts to find answers by commissioning a panel of independent experts to collect and analyze data on UFOs, or UAPs.

To date, NASA continues to appoint a UAP research director to develop and supervise in this field. The position will be held by Mark McInerney. He served as NASA’s liaison with the Department of Defense on UAP issues for many years.

According to the head of NASA, they will use their expertise to work with other agencies to analyze UAP and apply artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to search. unusual spots in the sky.

There will be no confirmation from NASA?

Despite recent efforts, NASA’s Director General did not forget to emphasize that the lack of data surrounding this topic may prevent them from reaching clear conclusions soon.

“Most UAP sightings come from very limited data. That makes it even more difficult to draw scientific conclusions about the nature of UAP,” Nelson said at the meeting.

Nicola Fox, Deputy Director of the Science Mission Board, supports this view, saying that although there are many witnesses and images related to the UAP, they are inconsistent, poorly detailed and often comes with low resolution images.

By approaching this topic with scientific scrutiny, NASA will aim to deny, or even eliminate, what they consider to be misleading concepts related to UFO research, which have long been present. was considered unscientific.

“Long-term public trust in NASA is essential in communicating new scientific findings about UAP, as well as eliminating stigma and misinformation surrounding this topic,” the report said. NASA’s report said.
