NASA’s Task Force on UFOs and Other Weird Phenomena held its first public meeting on May 31.
This team was established in 2022 to collect all available data on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs). This includes sightings in the sky that cannot be readily attributed to aircraft or known natural phenomena.
The main takeaway from this conference was that there simply isn’t enough data to identify and describe UAPs. “Current data collection efforts on the UAP are unsystematic, fragmented across institutions, and often use instruments not calibrated for scientific data collection,” said David Spargel, who heads the group. are used,” he said.
Historically, UAPs have rarely been rigorously studied and all the data has never been collected in one place. Now that the group has collected the data, researchers will be able to dig deeper and understand what a UAP is.
Events that the research team has successfully investigated can be traced to mundane sources such as radiation from commercial aircraft, balloons, and even microwave ovens. Several team members stressed that so far there is no evidence that the UAP has anything to do with anything extraterrestrial.
The task force’s 16 members include astronomers, engineers, astrobiologists, physicists, and even astronaut Scott Kelly, who spent a year on the International Space Station as part of NASA’s landmark is included.
twin study.
Of the hundreds of reported UAPs, less than 5 percent remained anomalous and unexplained after investigation. This is mainly because we don’t have enough information about them. “With better data, it’s very likely that they match known phenomena,” University of Delaware’s Federica Bianco said at a post-conference press conference. The group’s full report is expected in late July.
