latest Nasa Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Independent Study Report

This media briefing is a discussion about the report published by the unidentified anomalous phenomena independent study team we commissioned in 2022.

The team’s report aims to inform us on what possible data could be collected in the future to shed light on the nature and origin of UAPs. Briefing participants include:

· NASA Administrator Bill Nelson
· Nicola Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters in Washington
· Dan Evans, assistant deputy associate administrator for research, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate
· David Spergel, president, Simons Foundation and chair of NASA’s UAP independent study team

The UAP independent study team is a council of 16 community experts across diverse areas on matters relevant to potential methods of study for UAP.

We commissioned the nine-month study to examine UAP from a scientific perspective and create a roadmap for how to use data and the tools of science to move our understanding of UAP forward. Right now, the limited high-quality observations of UAP make it impossible to draw scientific conclusions from the data about the nature of such events.
