UFOs exist, even though it has not been proven that their origin is extraterrestrial, and it is necessary to study them to offer a rigorous answer to their origin. This has been determined by the commission of experts convened this Wednesday by the United States Space Agency, NASA, in the first public session that it organizes on the matter a year after making public a study on sightings that it has not been able to explain.
This group of independent scientists has starred in this unprecedented act at NASA headquarters in Washington that has been broadcast via streaming and has aroused the interest of thousands of viewers, some very critical of what they have considered a pseudoscientific drift of the US agency. "It is precisely this rigorous evidence-based approach that allows us to separate fact from fiction," Dan Evans, a NASA spokesman, wanted to come out in the face of criticism in defense of the session.
The agency defends that the already published study on the matter is a first step to try to explain the mysterious sightings in the sky that NASA calls unidentified aerial phenomena. The group of experts has analyzed the unclassified information available on the phenomenon to determine what is needed to understand what is happening in the sky and it has no explanation, astrophysicist David Spergel, president of the committee that runs the Simons Foundation, said during the meeting.
In this sense, the experts propose the creation of an international agency focused on the study of UFOs, which would allow the use of satellites and other state-of-the-art scientific instruments to study these phenomena. To begin with, by reviewing the anomalous phenomena reported since the 40s of the last century and until now archived as a rigorous answer to their origin has not been found.
Sean Kirkpatrick, Pentagon representative at the meeting, explained that the vast majority of reported sightings between 1996 and 2023 have occurred in airspace and by commercial aviation professionals, which does not seem to give rise to a dreamlike intention of the phenomenon. . In this period, almost no sightings have been reported in space or from the ground. In all these cases reference is made to spherical objects, between one and four meters high and white, silver or translucent.
