WASHINGTON: Members of an independent NASA panel studying UFOs, or what the US government now terms UAP for 'unidentified anomalous phenomena', said in their first public meeting on Wednesday (May 31) that scant high-quality data and a lingering stigma pose the greatest barriers to unravelling such mysteries.
WASHINGTON: Members of an independent NASA panel studying UFOs, or what the US government now terms UAP for"unidentified anomalous phenomena", said in their first public meeting on Wednesday that scant high-quality data and a lingering stigma pose the greatest barriers to unravelling such mysteries.
NASA officials said several panellists had been subjected to unspecified"online abuse" and harassment since beginning their work in June last year. The underlying problem, they said, is that the phenomena in question are generally being detected and recorded with cameras, sensors and other equipment not designed or calibrated to accurately observe and measure such peculiarities.
The US military has documented more than 800 cases over the past two decades, said Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon's newly formed All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO. But in finally addressing the issue head-on, both NASA and the Pentagon have emphasized the imperative of protecting US airspace, and by extension public safety and natural security.
