A team of NASA researchers has just begun a formal investigation into UFOs, now referred to as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

Last week, the agency announced the 16 team members leading the study, which began Monday and will last for nine months. They will report their findings to the public in mid-2023, according to NASA. The team includes former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and science journalist Nadia Drake, as well as scientists who study the shape of the universe, black holes, computer engineering and other topics. The effort is meant to lay the groundwork for future study on the nature of UAPs for NASA and other organizations. The team will identify how data gathered by civilian government entities, commercial data, and data from other sources can potentially be analyzed to shed light on UAPs.

Following a 2021 report from the United States government centered on 144 unidentified flying objects, there has been much federal attention on these phenomena. Congress held a public hearing on UAPs in May, and the US DoD(国防部) announced it was forming an office to study UAPs in July. But most UAP research to date has been conducted by military and intelligence organizations. They take a different approach to the topic, “which is ‘We’re not interested in this as a scientific issue’. That’s not on our agenda,” Pennsylvania State University historian Greg Eghigian said.

Developing an understanding of UAPs isn’t just about looking for alien life. The flying objects could have implications for national security, and NASA hopes the findings will improve aircraft safety. Collecting data on UAPs might be a first step in making them less harmful to better protect air traffic. So far, NASA doesn’t have a hypothesis for what UAPs may be. For now, though, “there is no evidence UAPs are extraterrestrial(外星球的) in origin,” NASA said in the June statement. But even if the study reveals nothing about alien life, it might still learn something new about Earth’s atmosphere, wrote Scientific American.
