NASA admits they can’t identify mysterious flying objects, appoints first UFO director

The truth is still out there.

NASA announced Thursday that it has appointed its first-ever director of UFOs, stressing that they’ve yet to find proof of alien spacecraft — while conceding they still have no idea what the mysterious objects actually are.

The space agency released the findings of a yearlong independent study in UFOs Thursday in a 33-page report and cautioned that the negative perception surrounding UFOs has long hindered their ability to collect data.

“The top takeaway from the study is that there is a lot more to learn,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said of UAPs, or “unidentified anomalous phenomenon.”

“The NASA independent study team did not find any evidence that UAP have an extraterrestrial origin.

“But we don’t know what these UAP are,” he said.

“The mission of NASA is to find out the unknown … Whatever we find, we’re going to tell you.”

The space agency’s chief said he wanted to shift the conversation on UAPs — the new term replacing UFOs — “from sensationalism to science.”

That sensationalism is so extreme it kept the agency from identifying its new director of UAP research.

I read the Executive Summary and that’s my takeaway.

Navy pilots have been complaining for years that something unidentified is clogging their secure offshore aviation training areas. Even the Navy has admitted as much.

Something does exist. And it represents a safety risk and a possible national security risk.

But, you are welcome to your opinion.

Alas, another government empire to be built with borrowed money.

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think anything will come of NASAs search for UFOs.

All they have to do is look in their own files (but they won't).

It is doubtful that the government is ever going to share what it knows. They're just blowing smoke in hopes of getting some additional funding.

The U.S. government has done pretty much nothing but lie to the people about everything for this entire century (and most of the last century). And now with this careers, mortgages, college funds and pensions are going to be on the line for the new office to prove their worth and importance. We’ve got lots of past experience in how that turns out. 70 years from now, if the country lasts that long, this office will have morphed into thousands of employees with a budget - by then - in the trillions.

“stressing that they’ve yet to find proof of alien spacecraft”

Lol.

Somebody has not been briefed.

Having NASA “study” UFOs is like having bank robbers auditing the banks.

“ The mission of NASA is to find out the unknown”

Since when is that NASA’s mission?

Mission creep.

If the military wasn’t so busy with promoting drag queen story hour and funding trans-GIBLETS in their mental delusions, they could probably find out which country is developing new aircraft technology. Is it China or some other country?

Also, it may be a different department in our government creating these aircraft. Has NASA checked with the CIA?

Don’t ask questions when you really don’t want to find out the answer:

I remember they used to call them flying saucers. But haven’t heard that terminology used in many years.

Perhaps because not all were saucer shaped, so “UFO” was more inclusive language???

The government doesn’t create such a position without fully intending the role to “find” and announce UFOs.

With so many falling for the magic virus, who’s to say many won’t fall for this?

Ah yes, Bob Lazar of Area 51 fame.

Whatever happened to him?

I’ve heard reports that UFOs have been tracked on radar.

So yes, we aren’t all just hallucinating or imagining things. There is something there.

We can’t say they are extra terrestrial spacecraft. But just because we can’t identify what they are, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

This is so ridiculous. Any alien capable of getting to Earth is capable of going wherever the hell it wants to go. The idea that ‘they’ are hiding the aliens is hilarious. It’s as if the aliens are contacting the global traffic control system and requesting a runway. What horsepuckey.

The universe is so vast that a far off civilization could establish space travel, and never come anywhere near Earth. They might receive one of the Obama / Biden Regime speech broadcasts and never, ever come close to us. Or, an advanced civilization might view the speeches and send all their own leftist wackos to the Earth. Leftist aliens exiled to San Francisco and New York, where they would fit right in. .
