As reports keep coming in about what used to be called UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects), NASA is taking this seriously. They’ve even appointed a new director to research these mysterious events, now called UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena).
A team of experts in fields like astronomy and aviation safety was asked to figure out what these UAPs really are. They looked into possible explanations, like boats on the horizon and high-flying balloons, but many events remained a mystery.
The recent report from the committee shows that they have no proof that these events involve aliens. But for the ones that can’t be explained by things from Earth, they don’t rule out any possibilities. They say it’s unlikely to be from aliens, but they have no proof of what it could be. The report also talks about what NASA plans to do next to keep studying these events. So, while there’s no alien proof yet, the mystery of UAPs continues to intrigue scientists.
Need for transparency
NASA has taken some significant steps in response to the growing interest in UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), which are often called UFOs. They’ve appointed a new director specifically for UAP research, and his name is Mark McInerney. Initially, NASA kept his identity secret to protect him from harassment, but they are committed to being open about their UAP work.
NASA is even thinking about creating a smartphone app for reporting UAP sightings. Many times, the data and images they receive are not great, so they want to tap into the high-tech detectors in our smartphones. With this app, people could report sightings directly to NASA, making it easier to collect valuable information.
The report also highlights the importance of using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Sometimes, the patterns in UAP reports are hard for humans to spot, but AI is really good at finding these patterns.
