![]() Several of the panelists “have been subjected to online abuse due to their decision to participate on this panel,” Dan Evans, the NASA official assigned to the committee, said at the outset of the meeting. If you publicly investigate, contemplate, or even breathe about UFOs, you will probably be harassed on the internet. (See: balloons.) “There remain events that we do not understand,” he said, “but these events tend to be characterized by poor-quality, limited data.” Ultimately, the group found UAP data “insufficient to provide conclusive evidence about the nature and origin of every UAP event,” Spergel said.īut in doing this work, NASA has discovered a different truth: Talking about UFOs can be a nasty business. “Many events have conventional explanations,” David Spergel, an astrophysicist who chairs the committee, told reporters. The main takeaway was what we’ve heard all along. ![]() ![]() The NASA-organized committee, a mix of scientists and industry experts, did not make any dramatic pronouncements. The group had spent the past several months examining reports of strange sightings in the sky, and yesterday’s hours-long event was its first (and only) public meeting. A retired astronaut who worked at NASA for 20 years chimed in: “There was never any formal or informal discussions at all about UAPs or UFOs or anyone reporting anything that would suggest something from beyond our planet.” An astrobiologist-the kind of scientist whose job revolves around finding extraterrestrial life-said that scientists are a “rebellious” type, and if someone told him to keep a secret as big as this, he’d want to spill. No, NASA “has never intentionally cut a live feed to hide anything,” a senior agency official said. There was some gentle laughter among the panelists, whom NASA had convened on the subject. At a meeting in NASA headquarters yesterday, the public had some blunt questions about UFOs, or, as the government now calls them, “unexplained anomalous phenomena.” A NASA spokesperson summarized them aloud: “What is NASA hiding, and where are you hiding it? How much has been shared publicly? Has NASA ever cut the live NASA TV feed away from something? Has NASA released all UAP evidence it has ever received? What about NASA astronauts-do they have an NDA or clearance that does not allow them to speak about UAP sightings? What are the science overlords hiding?” In short: Are you guys lying to everyone?
