On September 14, the U.S. space agency NASA is expected to reveal findings from its investigation into unidentified flying objects (UFOs) seen in Earth’s skies. According to AFP, NASA disclosed last year that it was reviewing evidence related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), a term now commonly used in place of UFO.
This subject has long fascinated the public but has largely been dismissed by mainstream science.
In a May meeting, NASA’s independent team of 16 researchers shared preliminary observations, noting that existing data and eyewitness accounts were insufficient for drawing definitive conclusions about UAPs. They recommended a more systematic approach to gathering high-quality data.
Although NASA’s upcoming report is unlikely to change these preliminary conclusions, it is expected to mark a beginning for a new mission for the agency.
During the May meeting, the report’s authors indicated that over 800 events have been documented over the past 27 years, with about 2-5% potentially involving unusual phenomena or objects. Team member Nadia Drake explained that these anomalies are defined as “anything that an operator or sensor system cannot understand” or “a strange-acting phenomenon or object.”
In recent years, the U.S. government has begun to take UAPs more seriously, partly due to concerns about foreign surveillance activities.
Alongside NASA, the Pentagon has also been tasked with investigating UAPs. Although their efforts are independent, both entities are collaborating on issues such as applying scientific tools and methodologies.
In July, former U.S. intelligence officer David Grusch stirred public interest by testifying before a congressional committee, asserting that he believed the government possesses unidentified anomalous objects and even alien remains.
“My testimony is based on information provided by reliable individuals. Many shared compelling evidence in the form of photos, official documents, and classified testimony,” the former officer stated.
Earlier this week, bodies thought to be those of “non-human” beings were presented in a congressional hearing in Mexico, sparking surprise, skepticism, and even humor on social media.
The two intentionally mummified bodies, gray in color and with human-like forms, were brought forward by Jaime Maussan, a controversial Mexican journalist and researcher, who claimed to have found them in Peru in 2017.
