☆ NASA says UFOs are probably balloons, planes, or solar glints — but not aliens

NASA says the sightings can be explained by earthly phenomena like planes, balloons, and weather. The announcement comes from a year-long investigation into how NASA can better study UFOs. The report includes suggestions for new ways to study UAP and states that there's no evidence for alien visitors to Earth.

Spergel said their efforts might include starting a smartphone app to help the public quickly report UAP sightings without stigma.

Mexican journalist and long-time UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan showed politicians at the hearing on Tuesday two tiny "bodies" displayed in cases, with three fingers on each hand and elongated heads. He claimed they were found in Peru in 2017 and were not related to any life on Earth. The images from the congressional hearing, the first of its kind in Mexico, sparked international curiosity as well as substantial scorn. Maussan, speaking to Reuters on Thursday, said his critics had yet to present evidence to counter his claims. "If you have something strange, make samples available to the world's scientific community, and we'll see what's there," he said.

"The mission of NASA is to find out the unknown," Nelson said. The NASA panel, comprising experts in scientific fields ranging from physics to astrobiology, issued the report after holding its first public meeting in June. NASA said the new director of UAP research will handle "centralized communications, resources and data analytical capabilities to establish a robust database for the evaluation of future UAP." The report said defense and intelligence analysts lacked sufficient data to determine the nature of some of the objects.

☆ NASA appoints UFO research director and vows to increase study
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Jackie Wattles | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —An independent report found that NASA could play a crucial role in collecting more data on UFOs — or what are officially known as unidentified anomalous phenomena, the space agency announced Thursday. Ultimately, the group determined that NASA should be using satellites and other instruments to seek more information about the phenomena. In response to the findings, the space agency also announced Thursday it is appointing its first director of UAP research. “This is the first time that NASA has taken concrete action to seriously look into UAP,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said during a news conference. Dan Evans, NASA’s assistant deputy associate administrator for research, said during a Thursday panel that the space agency would not be publicly releasing the name of NASA’s new UAP research director in part because of the potential for harassment.

A highly anticipated report published by NASA on Thursday underscored challenges to understanding unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, including stigma and poor data quality. The report, which comes from NASA’s UAP Independent Study Team, found no evidence to suggest that UFOs have an extraterrestrial origin. “The NASA independent study team did not find any evidence that UAP have an extra terrestrial origin,” Nelson said. “Stigma has limited reporting by pilots, both civilian and military,” David Spergel, chair of the UAP Independent Study Team, said at the press briefing. When asked during a briefing in May why the team doesn’t use the term UFO for the report, Evans said “because of the stigma associated with UFOs.”

In its 33-page report, an independent team commissioned by NASA cautioned that the negative perception surrounding UFOs poses an obstacle to collecting data. “We want to shift the conversation about UAPs from sensationalism to science," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said. Instead, the group relied on unclassified data in an attempt to better understand unexplained sightings in the sky. The government refers to unexplained sightings as UAPs versus UFOs. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

MEXICO CITY, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Mexican lawmakers heard testimony that "we are not alone" in the universe and saw the alleged remains of non-human beings in an extraordinary hearing marking the Latin American country's first congressional event on UFOs. The specimens were not related to any life on Earth, Maussan said. The two tiny "bodies," displayed in cases, have three fingers on each hand and elongated heads.

A hat-shaped symbol used as part of a Roman Catholic cardinal’s coat of arms has been misrepresented online as a UFO symbol to question whether the Vatican is ruled by aliens. A coat of arms of a cardinal, the pope’s highest advisors, includes the red galero, a wide-brimmed hat, with long tassels on either side. Yet online posts sharing an image of the coat of arms ask, “Is the Vatican ruled by aliens?” (here) and (here). Instead, a smaller red hat called a biretta is now given to newly installed cardinals, Father Richard Kunst, a priest who collects papal artifacts, explains on his webpage (here).
