Nasa is launching its first-ever study of UFOs – for ‘national security and air safety’ and to identify how much more information is needed to understand them.
The study announced on Thursday, the first of its kind, will be entirely open and include no classified military data. It will not be part of similar groups formed by the US Department of Defense.
‘Unidentified phenomena in the atmosphere are of interest for both national security and air safety,’‘Establishing which events are natural provides a key first step to identifying or mitigating such phenomena, which aligns with one of Nasa’s goals to ensure the safety of aircraft.’ ‘We are not shying away from reputational risk,’ he said in a webcast. ‘Our strong belief is that the biggest challenge of these phenomena is that it’s a data-poor field.’The Nasa study comes about one month after the US House Intelligence Committee held itsNasa’s team conducting the study will be lead by Princeton University astrophysicist David Spergel. Spergel also serves as president of the Simons Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing the frontiers of math and science.
