UFOs: From sensationalism to science

UFOs: From sensationalism to science

(Dan Tri) - UFOs are one of the biggest mysteries on the planet, it is associated with many sensational claims or conspiracy theories from countries. Now, NASA has put a new perspective on this problem.

UFOs: From sensationalism to science

On September 14, NASA released a report that many scientists expected related to UFOs. Part of it helps overcome the stigma that has historically been attached to UFOs, which stems from military pilots fearing retribution or negative effects on their jobs if they report them.

UFOs or UAPs are currently referred to by the United States Government as paranormal phenomena or unidentified flying phenomena.

The key point of this report is that the team found no evidence that the reported UFO observations were from extraterrestrials.

For a long time, many scientists have claimed that UFOs represent visits by aliens to Earth, even if they are living with us. Therefore, NASA's report is like a hinge, bringing us to a new perspective on UFOs.

UFOs are no longer sensationalism

During a press conference on September 14, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson noted that the agency has scientific programs to search for traces of life on Mars and biological signatures in the atmosphere of Mars. exoplanets.

"We want to move the conversation about UAP from sensationalism to scientism," Bill Nelson asserts.

Nelson is probably referring to some of the claims about UAPs or UFOs, regarding these being alien technologies on Earth.

At a US Congressional hearing in July, former Pentagon intelligence officer David Grusch testified that the US government concealed evidence of crashed UAPs and samples of alien biology.

But Sean Kirkpatrick, Director of the Pentagon's Irregular Resolution Office (AARO), which is responsible for investigating UAP, denied these claims.

The same week the NASA report was released, Mexican lawmakers and journalist Jaime Maussan announced two tiny 1,000-year-old bodies that he said were the remains of "non-human" creatures.

It immediately met with opposition from scientists, who called this claim fraudulent and hypothesized that these could be mummies stolen from burial sites in Peru.

NASA's new research team sheds light on whether some UAPs are extraterrestrial or not. Chairman of the research team, astronomer David Spergel, stated: "We have found no evidence that the UAP has an extraterrestrial origin."

Of the more than 800 unclassified UFO sightings collected and reported by the U.S. Department of Defense's Office of Anomalies in May, only a handful could not be immediately identified as natural phenomena. natural or man-made.

Many recent sightings can be attributed to weather balloons and atmospheric disturbances. Historically, most UFOs were astronomical objects such as meteorites, comets...

Some sightings may be from surveillance activities by foreign powers, which is why the US military considers this a matter of national security.

The report also provides recommendations from NASA on how to conduct investigations involving UFOs or UAPs.

Most of the UAP data reviewed by the research team came from findings by US military aircraft pilots. Analysis of this data is greatly hampered by poor sensor calibration, missing many measurements and underlying data.

According to scientists, ideal measurements to help analyze and identify UFOs would include optical, infrared and radar imaging data, but very few reports have all of these requirements.

NASA scientists note the importance of reporting in helping reduce the stigma that can cause U.S. military and commercial pilots to feel they cannot freely report UFO sightings, it said. decades of conspiracy theories tied to UFOs.

NASA proposed collecting data on UFO sightings by commercial pilots combined with classified cases not reported by the Government to better understand these anomalous phenomena. Because members of the research team did not have security clearances, they were only able to review a few unclassified military cases.

Currently, under US law, there is no nationwide anonymous UAP reporting mechanism for commercial pilots. NASA also announced the appointment of a new director of UAP research, overseeing the collection and building of databases to evaluate UAP sightings.

Looking for a needle in a haystack

Now, the study of UFOs will be evaluated by the US according to a scientific standard. Government officials describe the analysis process as looking for a needle in a haystack.

They argue that we need a consistent and rigorous method to describe UFO sightings, as a way to detect something truly unusual.

David Spergel, said the goal of the research team is to characterize and analyze mundane phenomena and eliminate it to find the needle (referring to UFO) or discover events related to the phenomenon. anomaly. And artificial intelligence can help researchers search huge data sets to find rare, anomalous phenomena.

NASA's research team notes the importance of transparency, as UFOs have long been associated with conspiracy theories and government cover-ups from many countries.

Similarly, much of the discussion during the congressional UAP hearing in July focused on the need for transparency. All of the scientific data NASA collects is publicly available on various websites, and officials say they intend to do the same with unclassified UAP-related data.

Some UFOs are classified, indicating whether they are weather balloons, spy planes from another country or some top secret technology.

Director Nelson expressed his opinion that, in addition to Earth, we probably have trillions of cases of life there. So it makes sense that there is intelligent life out there.

But the report says that when it comes to UAP, extraterrestrial life will be the ultimate hypothesis. Claims regarding this issue require extraordinary evidence. And so far that evidence doesn't exist.

UFO - a term that helps countries cover up technology?

Under the UAP Disclosure Bill, introduced to President Biden later this year, any UFO technology discovered, the US will disclose to the public through a "Controlled Disclosure Campaign".

This proposed bill would establish an Unidentified Anomaly Assessment Commission, composed of nine independent members, appointed by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate.

The Council's mission is to collect and participate in the controlled release of records relating to "unidentified paranormal phenomena, unknown technology, or non-human intelligence" issued by the Government. United States holds.

The proposal also includes a provision allowing the Government to exercise ownership over any "unknown technology" and "biological evidence of non-human intelligence" currently under its control. private.

This involves a number of aerospace contractors that are said to have hidden non-human technologies, hidden in special access programs.

Back in July, during a congressional hearing, David Grusch, tasked with providing updated intelligence information to the US President every Wednesday, shared with the global public the findings of the investigation. his investigation on the issue he was assigned by the National Assembly.

After four years of researching the subject and interviewing 40 high-ranking members of the military, Mr. Grusch concluded that a UFO recovery program had been in place for a long time, using alien reverse engineering technology. pure.

The Sunday World newspaper, revealed that the phrase "non-human intelligence" may be mentioned 22 times in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act proposed to the President of the United States.

Along with Mr. Grusch's sworn testimony before Congress, there were also two fighter pilots, David Fravor and Ryan Graves.

Both men gave detailed descriptions of high-speed interactions with UFOs/UAPs, with Mr. Graves noting that: "The government knows more about UAPs than is publicly shared, and the classified activities are too levels that would keep important information hidden.The lack of transparency surrounding UAP is worrying.

"The UAPs we encountered and tracked on multiple sensors operated in ways that were beyond our understanding and technology. UAPs can accelerate at speeds up to Mach 1 (1,235km/h), keeping Holds its position against storms and winds longer than our fighter jets, especially it can operate continuously all day long."

According to the description, the UFOs do not have any visible means of lift, control surfaces or propulsion, nothing resembling normal aircraft with wings or engines.

The "controlled disclosure campaign" is expected to take place over a period of years.

In the past, people have seen UFOs many times. Millions of people have observed UFOs  appearing in the skies over China. Pilots on a flight in France saw a giant ball flying at high speed even though it was not equipped with an engine...

In recent years, US military and commercial pilots have frequently encountered these unusual phenomena. To this day, the majority of them remain a mystery, the objects are unlike anything man-made.

The special thing is that the testimonies from witnesses who observed and described these UFOs are the same. Stories related to UFOs are always controversial and attract the attention of the scientific community.

And the US Government has taken a new look at UFOs, looking at it from a scientific perspective rather than hypotheses related to aliens.
