'This is really important to us, and we're placing a high priority on it.'
NASA isn't taking its coming UFO investigation lightly.The main goals, NASA officials said at the time, will be to identify and characterize the available
data, lay out the best ways to collect observations in the future and determine how the agency can use such data to advance our understanding of these puzzling sky sights.The study will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, the president of the Simons Foundation in New York City. It's expected to cost no more than $100,000, begin this fall and last about nine months.
"We're going full force" on preparations for the UAP study, Daniel Evans, assistant deputy associate administrator for research at SMD, said during Wednesday's town hall."This is really important to us, and we're placing a high priority on it." The study panel will consist of 15 to 17 people, Evans added. These folks will be"some of the world's leading scientists, data practitioners, artificial intelligence practitioners, aerospace safety experts, all with a specific charge, which is to tell us how to apply the full focus of science and data to UAP," he said.
Evans and his team have identified their top candidates for the panel and planned to run them by NASA Administrator Bill Nelson later on Wednesday, after the town hall. Provided Nelson gave the thumbs up, the wheels have now started turning on the panelists' formal appointments.
