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?
 
It's possible that there are unmanned spacecraft from other solar systems out mapping and exploring the galaxy, which would explain why they haven't tried to contact us. Or maybe they have tried to contact us, but we don't have the ability to understand their means of communication.

"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.
 
UAP/UFO news is heating up once again with new revelations of secret government organization cover-ups and lying. I for one as a long time counterculture person with strong dislike for our Military Industrial Complex, am going to immensely enjoy how history hopefully during my lifetime, will condemn those centrally involved in hiding the information from the American public and rest of the world that is obviously based on fears of how it might affect cultures especially religiously, and destabilize military and political control and especially affect Wall Street wealth mongers.

UAP researcher uncovers ‘confidential Irish Government memo’ regarding UFOs

There is no doubt that government misrepresents truth. How much truth and about what? That's harder to pin down. Some things are outright bald faced lies. I doubt that it withholds or misrepresents things that have no effect on it's power or control.
 
This below 8 minute video is by a most credible government person. One of the key sections at 0:55 mention how only in recent decades, has science found out how truly immense our universe is that makes the probability astronomical, that we only recently evolved intelligent Earth monkeys are not alone. That has been a key element in my own leanings since I read the 2000 best seller, Rare Earth, Why Complex Life is Uncommon in the Universe.
Although primitive DNA organic life as in virus's and bacteria may be common, complex intelligent life is likely far less so. However, given the immense numbers, the unlikely becomes near certain. The old guards on these secrets have likely come to the conclusion that it is no longer possible to keep the lid on secrets so they are allowing people like Melon to prime the public for an eventual open disclosure. Last year during the congressional hearings, I got the feeling they were now willing to be honest but needed another year or so to prepare the public with communications like in the below video.


...Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon shares an 8-minute reflection tracing humanity’s age-old fascination with life beyond Earth—from Lucretius and Giordano Bruno to present-day pilot encounters and congressional testimony. He explores the statistics that make alien life almost inevitable, the paradox of pop-culture enthusiasm vs. academic indifference, and the psychological hurdles that keep many from engaging with the UAP conversation...
 
I witnessed several UFOs in broad daylight near an Air National Guard base in Michigan during the early 90s. They were everywhere almost all day. I kept looking around and no one else seemed to notice them. It drove me nuts but I know what I saw.
