NASA will study unidentified aerial phenomena, or unidentified flying objects, to collect data and 'move the scientific understanding' of UFOs forward.
Theoretical physics professor Dr. Michio Kaku discusses the hundreds of UFO encounters that Pentagon officials recently unveiled, on ‘Cavuto Live.
Some of those sightings featured objects with"unusual UAP movement patterns or flight characteristics," such as the ability to"remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernable means of propulsion." NASA noted Thursday that there is currently"no evidence UAPs are extra-terrestrial in origin.
UFOs have long been associated with conspiracy theories, flying saucers, and tinfoil hats, but Zurbuchen said he thinks"There's many, many examples where people kind of lean forward into a field that is not yet accepted. It's controversial or has some reputational risks. I do believe in some domains, surely, this will not just be met with utter enthusiasm, but I do believe it's absolutely necessary," Zurbuchen said Thursday.
The team will be led by David Spergel, the former chair of the astrophysics department at Princeton University and the current president of the Simons Foundation in New York City. "Given the paucity of observations, our first task is simply to gather the most robust set of data that we can," Spergel said Thursday.
