The U.S. Space Agency (NASA) published this Thursday, September 14, a 36-page report on UFOs, which establishes a roadmap for the future study of these unidentified flying objects. In this framework, the agency announced the creation of a department to analyze the sightings and confirmed that there is still “no evidence that they are of extraterrestrial origin”.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced the creation of the specialized department in order to try to make sense of the “anomalies in the skies” that are frequently encountered. “We will use artificial intelligence and machine learning to look for anomalies in the skies and continue to search for habitability”, he told a conference.
Nelson denied that the U.S. government is being non-transparent with phenomena that are encountered and cannot be identified and insisted that NASA has found “no evidence that UAPs have an extraterrestrial origin”.
Present at today’s press conference were several of the experts involved in the study, including Dan Evans, who said that understanding UAPs is vital because “it provides an opportunity to broaden our understanding of the world around us” and is also necessary for national security issues.
The term UFO has been replaced
The term UFO has been replaced in U.S. government jargon by UAP (initials for “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon”). The idea is to destigmatize the subject. NASA defines these phenomena as “the observation of events in the sky that cannot be scientifically identified as an aircraft or a known natural phenomenon”.
While acknowledging the existence of such events and the need to take them seriously, the Space Agency has been repeating for a year that there is no evidence that they are extraterrestrial in origin.
What time did the NASA UFO briefing start?
The expected findings of the team of 16 experts were released on Thursday, September 14 at 10.00 ET | 14.00 pm GMT | 19.30 pm IST. The briefing on unidentified anomalous phenomena was broadcast from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration headquarters in Washington DC.
How was the NASA UFO briefing viewed?
A live stream of the independent study of unidentified anomalous phenomena was available for viewing on NASA Television, the NASA app and the agency’s website.
UNAM denies having proven extraterrestrial life in a study presented by ufologist Jaime Maussan
The Institute of Physics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) denied this Wednesday that from its studies it can be asserted that two dissected bodies, shown yesterday by the ufologist Jaime Maussan in the Mexican Congress as “non-human beings”, belong to extraterrestrials, as the expert affirmed.
On Tuesday, two bodies were presented as proof of extraterrestrial life in the universe during the first public hearing, with the purpose of promoting a possible legislation on unidentified anomalous aerial phenomena in Mexico, better known as unidentified flying objects (UFO).
