What is NASA’s definition of an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)?
NASA will be hosted a press conference to discuss the agencies recent work on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). How do they differ from UFOs?
On Thursday, 14 September, NASA hosted a press conference to discuss the agency’s recent findings on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). What are UAPs, you ask? Since 2021, Unidentified Flying Objects’ - known as UFOs or UFOs - have been officially called UAPs. The name came as an effort by the Pentagon to provide greater transparency when revealing data and information they have in this regard since the US has hundreds of sightings of unidentified anomalous phenomena recorded. In short, NASA categorizes any “observation of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or as known natural phenomena as UAPs.”
When does the event begin?
The event took place at 10 a.m. ET with the agency releasing the report thirty minutes before. Four experts from the team of sixteen that work on this project spoke:
- Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator
- Nicola Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate
- Dan Evans, assistant deputy associate administrator for research
- David Spergel, president, Simons Foundation and chair of NASA’s UAP independent study team
What will be discussed?
The report comes after the US government released more information on UAPs after dozens of these events were studied. The latest developments have sparked interest and questions by the public on the possible existence of extraterrestrials. However, NASA has stated that the investigations are an attempt to study these events and that they cannot “draw scientific conclusions about the nature of such events.”
The report’s main conclusion, developed by sixteen experts, is that “unidentified anomalous phenomena exist and are an obvious danger to the airspace of the United States.” However, it was emphasized that NASA did not find “any evidence” that relates the UAP sightings to some type of “extraterrestrial” origin or source. In addition to interest from the public, the research into UAPs has been described by NASA as an issue of national security. For the US government, when UAP events are reported, they often raise questions about the military capabilities of other countries. However, upon investigating these events, researchers often find that the camera used to capture the strange incidents often warps reality. Thus, upon closer inspection, there is typically a conclusion that aligns with the laws of physics and eliminates the possibility that what is being seen is the responsibility of aliens.
