Ronald Moultrie, the Pentagon's top intelligence official, and Scott Bray, the deputy director of naval intelligence, testified before the panel. However, it also stated the observations 'could be the result of sensor errors, spoofing, or observer misperception and require additional rigorous analysis.' It stated: 'UAP would also represent a national security challenge if they are foreign adversary collection platforms or provide evidence a potential adversary has developed either a breakthrough or disruptive technology.' The report admitted they had no evidence to either suggest or rule out alien origin. They suggested the events could be human generated 'airborne clutter', like escaped balloons or plastic bags, or the result of natural phenomena caused by ice crystals, moisture or heat. One clip was taken from a Navy cockpit in a training area and shows a spherical object floating by the aircraft The program follows the congressional hearings in May hat revealed videos showing 144 'unidentified aerial phenomena' seen by military personnel since 2004. Last year, a US intelligence report was released that documented 144 sightings from the past two decades that it said could not be explained. The public congressional hearing on UAPs was held in May and a new law mandated a government UAP task force. The subject of UFOs has been a longtime fascination of sci-fi fans and telescope owners, but has recently piqued the attention of US congress. That's the very definition of what science is. 'We have the tools and team who can help us improve our understanding of the unknown. 'We have access to a broad range of observations of Earth from space – and that is the lifeblood of scientific inquiry. Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator for science at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said: 'NASA believes that the tools of scientific discovery are powerful and apply here also.

NASA has previously confirmed that there is no current evidence the UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin, or any indication of alien life, but the limited number of observations makes it difficult to draw scientific conclusions. 'The findings will be released to the public in conjunction with NASA's principles of transparency, openness, and scientific integrity.'

'NASA has brought together some of the world's leading scientists, data and artificial intelligence practitioners, aerospace safety experts, all with a specific charge, which is to tell us how to apply the full focus of science and data to UAP,' said Evans in a statement. The NASA official responsible for orchestrating the study is Daniel Evans, the assistant deputy associate administrator for research at NASA's Science Mission Directorate.Īs previously announced, the independent study team is chaired by David Spergel, president of the Simons Foundation. Astronaut Scott Kelly, who is famously known for spending nearly a year in space, is one of 16 team members who will comb through unclassified data of UFOs
