While the Perseverance rover continues to slowly crawl Mars in search of life, back on Earth NASA is set to put together a team that will study and quantify data surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), otherwise known as UFOs.
What Happened: On Thursday, NASA sent a press release noting the inception of the project: “NASA is commissioning a study team to start early in the fall to examine unidentified aerial phenomena — that is, observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena — from a scientific perspective. The study will focus on identifying available data, how best to collect future data, and how NASA can use that data to move the scientific understanding of UAPs forward.”
