NASA held its first-ever public conference on UFOs Wednesday, exploring findings from an independent study team created last year to investigate what it calls"unidentified anomalous phenomena" or UAPs.
“If I were to summarize in one month what we've learned, we need high-quality data,” David Spergel, an astrophysicist and panel chair, said at the conference. “The lesson of my career is you want to address important questions with high-quality data and well-calibrated instruments.”“One of our goals is to remove the stigma,” Spergel said. “Because there is a need for high-quality data to address important questions about UAPs.
“There is absolutely no convincing evidence of extraterrestrial life associated with UAPs,” said Daniel Evans, NASA’s assistant deputy associate administrator for research for the Science Mission Directorate.The panel concluded that most UAP reports the department receives can be identified, noting the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office obtains around 50 to 100 new reports each month.
Kirkpatrick added that only 2 to 5% of reported UAP sightings are deemed “possibly really anomalous.”In 2015, video recorded by a Navy fighter jet from the nuclear aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt captured an unidentified object seemingly flying at an incomparable speed. The Pentagon released three short videos of the UAP, dubbed the ‘GoFast’ UFO.

NASA talks UFOs with public ahead of final report on unidentified flying objectsNASA is holding its first public meeting on UFOs a year after launching a study into unexplained sightings. The space agency is televising Wednesday's meeting featuring an independent panel of experts. The team includes 16 scientists and other experts selected by NASA including retired astronaut Scott Kelly, the first American to spend nearly a year in space. NASA officials says several committee members have been subjected to online harassment for serving on the team. They say that detracts from the scientific process. A final report is expected by the end of July.
