WASHINGTON, September 14An independent NASA study found «no evidence» that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are extraterrestrial, but because their nature is still unclear, it has created a director to study them, NASA chief Bill Nelson said at a briefing.
“»An independent team of NASA experts has found no evidence that unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP — ed.) are of extraterrestrial origin, but we do not know what they are, and so I am announcing the appointment of a director for their study at NASA.» , — said the head of NASA, presenting the results of several years of work to analyze the data available to the US government on UFO cases and their study.
According to Nelson, the task of the new directorate will be to «develop and control NASA's work on the study of NAF.» In particular, the department’s specialists will interact with other departments and use artificial intelligence to study “celestial phenomena.”
“NASA will do this openly,” the head of the agency assured, emphasizing that one of the goals will be “less stigmatization,” which is traditionally associated with reports of UFOs. «NASA's scientific approach encourages critical thinking; NASA, as a transparent, thoughtful, and public-engaging organization, can become a model for how best to study NAF,» the report released Thursday said.
As the head of NASA admitted, he personally believes that someday scientists will be able to discover in the universe a planet similar to Earth on which life exists. “What is the mathematical probability that there is life in the universe? If we count all the rocky planets in billions of stars and galaxies (located in the “habitable” zone of distance from their star — ed.). Our scientists’ answer about this probability is trillions,” said Nelson.
