NASA joins UFO hunt

The possibility of extraterrestrial visits to Earth is certainly being taken more and more seriously in the United States: NASA announced on Thursday, June 9, the launch of a multi-month investigation into unidentified aerial events in the fall. , Famous UFOs. There is no evidence that these events are of extraterrestrial origin. The space company pointed out from the beginning.

But “If anyone asks me if I think there is conclusive evidence for an intelligent life in any of these cases, I will give a scientifically acceptable answer, which I do not know.”NASA co-executive Thomas Zurbuchen told a news conference.

However, the US company argued that this issue could not be more important because it was about both national security and aviation. The study will be conducted by leading scientists and aeronautics experts. It is scheduled to begin in early fall, lasting nine months and leading to public reporting.

Various tasks

Three objectives have been announced: to collect existing data, to determine what is missing and how to better collect it, and with what tools to analyze it in the future. “Now we have a very limited set of these shots.During the same press conference David Sparkel announced that the astronomer was the head of the work. This makes it difficult to make decisions. ⁇

According to NASA experts, there are mountains of data that they want to collect from governments, private companies, associations or even individuals. Allocated budget should not exceed $ 100,000.

The concept is to denigrate the object. “One of the results of this study, for me, is to make everyone understand (…) The scientific process is valid to deal with all issues, includingThomas Surbuchen began, saying he had decided to start this investigation.

“Confused” mysteries

In June 2021, U.S. intelligence said in a long-awaited report that there was no evidence of the existence of extraterrestrials, while acknowledging that it could not explain the dozens of events observed by military pilots. And for the first time in more than fifty years, a public hearing was held in May in the US Congress. According to the Pentagon, the number of unidentified objects in the sky has been increasing over the past twenty years. And they inevitably raise terrible speculations.

“I think new scientific methods will be discoveredFor its part, Thomas Surbuchen ruled. There are many instances where something that seemed almost magical turned into a new scientific result. Never underestimate the potential of nature. ⁇

Experts promised to start this project without any preconceived notions. But according to David Sparkle, UFOs can combine different events that cannot be put under the same explanation. He acknowledged that the study may not shed light on many aspects, but rather provide a blueprint for that goal in the future.

NASA is already looking for other creatures in space

NASA is already searching for extraterrestrial life in space, for example traces of ancient life in the form of microbes on Mars or other signatures of other planets (signals proving the existence of technologies).

But this is the first time on Earth that the US space agency has seriously considered this possibility. “I do not think anyone in the past has properly seen unidentified aerial events.”, Jupiter Daniel Evans, said responsibility for coordinating research for the space agency. But “For decades, NASA has responded to the call to tackle some of the most confusing mysteries we know, which is no different.”.
