‘New territory’: America’s top aerospace sleuths join UFO hunt

America’s top aerospace engineers and scientists are joining forces to protect us from UFOs.

*snip*

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which includes among its members the country’s largest defense and NASA contractors, has established three committees to study the technology, how incursions affect pilot and passenger safety, and to coordinate with government agencies and international researchers also focused on the topic.

[H]aving an established group such as AIAA, founded in 1963 as the principal professional organization for aerospace scientists and engineers, enter the debate is seen by longtime UFO researchers as a turning point.

“We were wallowing in the fringe realm,” said David Marler, executive director of the newly formed National UFO Historical Records Center in Albuquerque, N.M., the largest U.S.-based repository of related archives. “We need people much smarter than ourselves, and from specific disciplines, to provide credibility and layers of expertise to look at the data.”

The AIAA initiative is focused primarily on the flight safety implications of unannounced craft intruding into protected military airspace or traveling dangerously close to commercial flights.

“Most of it will go into an explained bucket at some point,” Graves said. “Our primary focus is to apply engineering and scientific effort and energy to the anomalous data set. It’s not about focusing on adversarial drone programs or [drone] incursions into military airspace.”

The new AIAA committee studying the hardware of such unexplained craft has a series of studies underway.

It hopes to complete a scientific framework for cataloging the means for detecting UFOs by the end of the year. By the end of 2023, it plans to release its first “State of Tech Report,” followed by a peer-reviewed research manuscript in early 2024 detailing the methodologies for evaluating UFOs.

People that have to account for their time every 15 minutes of every workday are going to research UFO’s?

Who is paying them for that?

Some of the people who have been investigating this phenomenon for a long time believe the UFO/UAP thing is nothing but a front, a feint.

The real mystery is who or what is behind the UFO/UAPs. Many refer to that as the "woo"...for reasons you can guess.;-)

You can say that again.

That is standard US contractor practice for billing.

Who says we need to be protected from them? When was the last collision?

“The AIAA initiative is focused primarily on the flight safety implications of unannounced craft intruding into protected military airspace or traveling dangerously close to commercial flights.”

Since they have been around since time began it was their airspace first. We are meddling on their playground.

if there are observations and physical evidence from other worldly crafts...

priority would be on the material sciences and propulsion

that’s milestone one.

after we get something significant off the ground, navigation would be the next hurdle

Maybe they can find Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster too.

Funny you should ask about Bigfoot.;-) He's been seen entering and exiting a portal at Skinwalker Ranch.

Don't ask me what it means. I have no idea.

If I were writing the UFO narrative, I would get rid of any references to Bigfoot. But that's just me.;-)

Does he knock first or ring the doorbell?

UFO commanders really like showing themselves when Democrats are in control.

Don't know for sure, but I would guess he just kicks the door in (or out). What good is it having huge feet and not use them?

If he just knocked or rang the bell, people would start calling him "pussyfoot."
