NASA forms handpicked team to study unexplained UFO sightings

NASA has named 16 individuals to participate in the much-awaited study of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), or what are more commonly referred to as UFOs.

In June, the space agency announced that it had commissioned a panel to investigate UFOs or, as they have recently been rebranded, “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP). At the time, NASA officials said the independent study would get started in the fall, cost less than $100,000 and last about nine months from start to finish.

The team will begin the study Monday and is scheduled to spend nine months reviewing previous observations and determining how to analyze data on future events, according to NASA officials.

The study will not determine if past reports of UFOs were legitimate but will pave the way for understanding what observations will be needed in future events to better understand the phenomena.

“Exploring the unknown in space and the atmosphere is at the heart of who we are at NASA,” Thomas Zurbuchen, an associate administrator at NASA, said in a statement. “Understanding the data we have surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena is critical to helping us draw scientific conclusions about what is happening in our skies. Data is the language of scientists and makes the unexplainable, explainable.”

The 16 investigators come from a variety of fields, from astronomy to oceanography to computer science to journalism. The group of professionals also will include former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly.

Kelly served as a pilot of Space Shuttle Discovery and once held the record for spending the most days in space.

Unfortunately, the explanation is much more mundane than that.

From your post to “all” you seem to have drunk the kool-aid.

A psyop is a psyop and disinformation is disinformation—even when it is promulgated within the military.

I have wondered about that. Did the Muslim outreach end when Obama left office?

Frankly, I would rather see Muslim outreach than Rainbow Flag outreach.

The Muslims know more about science than the Rainbow Flag crowd. At least Muslims aren't interested in how to hold orgies in zero gravity.

This is just NASA capitulating to the WOKE times of conspiracy behind everything.

Soon these same foil hats will call for a major investigation into the Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15 16, and 17 missions. Did we REALLY land on the moon crap.

Most UFO hunters are charlatans, plain and simple.

A “hand-picked” team is never up to any good.

Like the Condon Report.

I have not discounted that possibility.

Just because the DOD/CIA is pushing a narrative doesn't mean the narrative is true.

The question is, have you considered that your speculation may not be accurate? Because that is also a possibility.

BTW, I don't drink koolade.

I have formed no conclusions as to what is going on in this matter. I am only looking at what is being said and what appears to be transpiring. If I have erred by inadvertently implying that such and such is a fact, I hereby recant that statement.

At this point, ALL conclusions as to this matter are mere speculation. This is an extremely complicated issue. It is easy to fall into the trap of premature judgment.

Have you considered that you have an invisible but real gnome on your right shoulder, whispering wacky ideas into your ear?

If not, you may be prematurely closely your mind. Occam’s razor be damned!

Dr. Chuck Missler’s conference on “Alien Encounters” explains it all….

You seem to have moved into some kind of personal attack. I'll keep that in mind before I respond to you in the future.

I believe I responded to your condescension and assertion reasonably and fairly.

I remember listening to Chuck's videos on this issue years ago. He fits this matter into a Biblical narrative very nicely.

Only time will tell just how accurate he was. This may be much more complicated than he envisioned.

That’s right, the problem isn’t that our attempts to appease the paranoid delusionals among us with confiscated tax money is not only failing miserably, but also driving us to the poor house. The problem is that we are being persecuted by little green men that no one but the chosen people can see.

They are stealing our life juices.

That would be a select committee. Hand picked just like the Jan 6 one that is so misled.

And NASA has chosen astronaut Scott Kelly to assume the role of Liz Cheney.
