The effort will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, former chair of the astrophysics department at Princeton University. As the space agency announced this week, it’s launching its own investigation, beginning in the fall, to get to the bottom of the UAP mystery. Now, there’s a third government agency getting involved in the effort to explain UAPs: NASA itself.
“UAPs are unexplained, it’s true,” Congressman and committee chairman Andre Carson (D., Ind.) said in his opening statement during the House hearings. The objects could be natural phenomena misinterpreted by the pilots and their equipment they could be new technology developed by Russia, China, or another high technology power and yes, they could, in theory at least, be extraterrestrial in origin. The Congressional hearing followed the release last year of a similar Department of Defense study of UAPs, and both Congress and the Pentagon came to the same conclusion, which was basically: beats me. They’re going against the wind! The wind’s 120 knots west!”Ī version of this story first appeared in the TIME SPACE newsletter.
“Look at that thing, dude!” one pilot shouted in a declassified recording made during a 2015 sighting. As I reported, just last month, the House Intelligence Committee’s Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation subcommittee conducted public hearings on more than 140 sightings by military pilots over the past 20 years of UAPs flying in all manner of inexplicable ways: bobbing, weaving, hovering, diving, changing direction with head-snapping speed that would produce potentially deadly g-forces to any living being-or at least any living human being-inside. UFOs-or UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena), as they’re more decorously called today-have frequently been in the news lately.
