To be able to scientifically observe and document UFOs, the American space agency has decided to set up a specific working group. But beware of the sensational: in a neutral approach, NASA makes it clear that there is no clue pointing to extraterrestrial phenomena!

In France, there is already an equivalent, the Geipan.

In the strange world

Faced with the phenomenon of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects), the antagonisms are generally important. There are the “believers”, others for whom any image or any video has a ready-made explanation… And for the space agencies? There is no question of deciding at first glance, even if in the vast majority of cases, “unexplained aerospace phenomena” (or UAP) have a source that is very easy to identify.

After inspection, there remains a fraction of these extracts, data, even testimonies, which remains mysterious and which therefore has a scientific interest. These are the cases that NASA, in the United States, will try to collect, sort, explain, with a working group made up of scientists and led by an astrophysicist, David Spergel.

Looking for flying saucer (urgent)

Attention, who says mystery does not say extraterrestrial. To make the link unduly is to flout the scientific method! There is nothing in the data available today that in any way proves that UAPs are of extraterrestrial origin. But misunderstood, yes!

Given the observations, our first task will simply be to gather as much reliable data as possible.explains D. Spergel. We will examine them, regardless of civil, governmental, corporate sources, to better understand how to collect and analyze them. “. All the studies and all the results obtained will be public, like all the scientific work of the American agency.

Explain your UAP

In the line of sight, NASA chief scientist Thomas Zurbuchen also explains that understanding UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), it also means working for aviation safety, which is one of NASA’s main missions. This task force announcement, which was a little unexpected, comes a few months after that of the US Department of Defense research group (the AOIMSG), but the two will not be reported, although they may be s ‘exchange information.

Remember that in France, there is the GEIPAN which provides forms and which studies unidentified events with the contribution of scientists and engineers from CNES, as well as hundreds of observation stations based on the territory (and very useful when are meteorites or bolides). Documented testimonials are welcome!
