NASA hopes new study helps bring UFO research into the mainstream

NASA, another acronym I don't trust. In my life, and the lives of everyone I have known, no one has ever seen a UFO. Do I believe that there is life somewhere else in the universe? ................................................No.
 

NASA did this same thing in 2023.

NASA's UAP Report Summary​

Based on the provided search results, NASA’s last report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) was published on September 14, 2023. The report was the culmination of an independent study commissioned by NASA to examine UAPs from a scientific perspective.
Key findings and recommendations from the report include:
  1. No evidence of extraterrestrial origin: The report concluded that there is no reason to conclude that UAPs are of extraterrestrial origin.
  2. Importance of data collection: The report emphasized the need for improved data collection and analysis techniques to better understand UAPs.
  3. Artificial intelligence and machine learning: The report highlighted the potential of AI and machine learning to identify UAPs and suggested their integration into data gathering and analysis processes.
  4. Crowdsourcing and public involvement: NASA aims to engage the public in UAP research through crowdsourcing techniques, recognizing the importance of public participation in understanding these phenomena.
  5. Establishment of a robust database: The report recommended the creation of a new director of UAP research to establish a robust database for evaluating future data, utilizing AI and machine learning in the process.
The report also acknowledged the challenges in understanding UAPs, including:
  1. Lack of data: The report noted that there is typically insufficient data to make definitive scientific conclusions about the nature and origin of UAPs.
  2. Overclassification: The witnesses testified that overclassification of information is not limited to UAPs, but is a broader issue throughout the government.
The report’s recommendations aim to address these challenges and promote transparency, scientific inquiry, and public involvement in UAP research.
Note that the search results also include information from a congressional hearing on UAPs held on November 13, 2024, which featured testimony from witnesses, including Luis Elizondo, a former NASA employee, and Michael Gold, a former NASA associate administrator. However, the report mentioned above (September 14, 2023) is NASA’s most recent comprehensive report on UAPs.

Brave Search Engine.
 
And just like the first meeting they had with the first set of "whistleblowers," one of the first answers put forth was "well, I can tell you that if we were behind closed doors." I'm a believer but I don't believe we'll ever have appropriate disclosure.:alien:

Really? In the entire 5,502 known planets beyond our solar system, not to mention the incalculable number in the universe, you honestly believe we are the only intelligent life form?

"One of the things that we tangentially hope to be part of this study ... is to help to remove some of the stigma associated with it."

NASA hopes it can help move the study of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) off the scientific fringes and into the mainstream. The agency announced today (June 9) that it has commissioned a panel to investigate UAP, a recent rebranding that is pushing out the more familiar term "unidentified flying object" (UFO). The NASA study will begin this fall, take about nine months to complete and cost no more than $100,000, agency officials said during a call with reporters today. The main goal is to assess the state of the UAP data landscape and how it can be improved going forward.

"The study will focus on identifying available data, how to best collect future data and how NASA can use these data to move the scientific understanding of UAPs forward," Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator for science at NASA headquarters in Washington, said during today's call. Or, in other words, "take a field that is relatively data poor and make it into a field that is much more data rich and therefore worthy of scientific investigation and analysis," he added.

Such work is very much in NASA's bailiwick, Zurbuchen said, noting that the agency's many research priorities cover, among other things, the hunt for alien life, investigating mysterious cosmic objects and phenomena and helping to keep American aircraft safe and secure. (The first "A" in NASA stands for "aeronautics," and UAP could represent a threat to planes and other aerial vehicles.) And, like the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA is not afraid to put its name behind the push to demystify UAP. (The DoD has set up multiple UAP-studying task forces in the past few years, stressing that understanding the phenomena is important for national security purposes.)

"In a traditional type of science environment, talking about some of these issues may be considered kind of selling out or talking about things that are not actual science," Zurbuchen said. "I just really vehemently oppose that. I really believe that the quality of science is not only measured by the outputs that come behind it but also the questions we're willing to tackle with science." Indeed, NASA hopes that the newly announced panel, and the work that it does, will help normalize UAP sightings and research, bringing more and better information into scientists' databases.

"One of the things you might have heard in the congressional hearings a few weeks ago was, there is a great deal of stigma associated with UAP among our naval aviators and in the aviation community," Daniel Evans, assistant deputy associate administrator for research at NASA's Science Mission Directorate, said during today's call. Evans is the NASA official responsible for orchestrating the study, which will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, president of the Simons Foundation in New York City. "One of the things that we tangentially hope to be part of this study, simply by talking about it in the open, is to help to remove some of the stigma associated with it," Evans added. "That will yield, obviously, increased access to data, more reports, more sightings, et cetera. So that's another thing that we're trying to accomplish with it."

So strange, since speculation about UFO's and aliens have been part of my life since I was pre-teen.

I am interested to know why you don't trust NASA. NASA has not said aliens exist, or that they're visiting us. They state they can't explain everything caught on video. But then, no-one can.
 
The UFP's that NASA can't explain are very important. This admission is telling because they have previously denied any evidence like this before. We will keep pressing them until they have to reveal what they know.
