NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, will be hosting a public meeting today, May 31, to discuss UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) and UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena). This meeting will be the first time the group, which was formed in June 2022, will discuss the results of its investigation in public. A free livestream of the four-hour event will be available on NASA TV, beginning at 10:30 a.m. ET (1430 GMT). NASA created the group last year to examine all of the data it has available that might shed light on the UAP enigma and how it might help “move the scientific understanding of UAPs forward.”
The team which will be discussing these UFOs and UAPs includes academics, journalists, and experts from the aerospace and aviation industries. The team is only studying unclassified data to ensure public access. Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s former associate administrator for science at NASA headquarters in Washington, said shortly after the group was announced that it was formed in part to “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.”
NASA’s study group is only one of several U.S. government-funded groups formed to study UAP. In 2022, the U.S. Department of Defense created an office to study unidentified objects in space, air, and water, or even those that appear to travel between them. However, despite studying hundreds of reported incidents involving UAP, the group’s director told the Senate Committee on Armed Services in April that the group had not uncovered “no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics.”
This meeting marks a significant turning point in NASA’s efforts to understand and analyze the plethora of data it has on unidentified objects. The study group, with a diverse team of experts, is poised to provide new insights into the phenomenon.
The team includes several well-known experts, such as former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, who spent a year on the International Space Station. The team also includes Ralph Blumenthal, a former New York Times journalist who co-authored a report in 2017 that revealed the existence of a $22 million U.S. government programme to investigate UFOs.
The study group is unique in that it is comprised of both governmental and civilian experts who are working together to pool all of the available data and produce new information for public consumption. This meeting today will mark a potential turning point in the discussion of these objects, which have perplexed observers for decades.
NASA’s newfound interest in the topic of UFOs and UAPs has led to an increased discussion about a phenomenon that has generally been viewed as purely science fiction. With the resources and expertise of NASA, the study of UAPs is becoming more scientific, and may ultimately provide new insights into the mysteries of the universe.
The free webcast is a significant opportunity for the public to participate in one of the most groundbreaking scientific initiatives of our time and to learn more about the research being conducted into the world of UAPs. It provides an opportunity for the public to hear directly from the experts who are studying this phenomenon and the potential implications it holds for our understanding of the universe we inhabit.
The meeting today marks a significant event in the study of UAPs and will likely provide essential insights into the enigma of UFOs and their impact on our world. By working together to understand this complex phenomenon, NASA and its study group hope to bring about a new understanding of the universe and the potential for life beyond Earth, a profound and far-reaching accomplishment indeed.
