NASA’s UFO task force will livestream unidentified anomalous phenomena meeting TOMORROW. Watch here!

NASA will hold a historic public meeting on UFOs tomorrow — as the once-mocked topic goes mainstream.

The space agency has set up an independent task force that has been studying unidentified objects in our skies and oceans since September last year.

Tomorrow’s panel will see wide-ranging discussion of NASA’s “scientific perspective” on UAP, alongside more specific and exotic presentations, including a NASA astrobiologist outlining “relevant observations” of anomalies “beyond Earth’s atmosphere.”

Tomorrow’s meeting, expected to last more than four hours, will make history as it marks the first time the US space agency has presented the results of its UAP research to the public.

NASA’s independent UAP study group, as well as officials from both the Pentagon and the Federal Aviation Administration’s UAP research teams, will present their latest UFO findings

The mere existence of the agency’s independent investigative team has lent more legitimacy to many unusual claims and events that had previously been relegated for decades to the margins of scientific inquiry.

The study group, founded nearly a year ago in June 2022, has been tasked to explore both the feasibility and wisdom of deploying NASA’s own hardware and brainpower in the hunt for “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAP).

The term UAP is intended to broaden the search for the truth about UFOs, encompassing mysterious objects as well as airborne, underwater, or space events.

“The charter of this committee was to recommend to NASA whether research on this topic is warranted,” said Harvard physicist Avi Loeb, founder of the alien-hunting, UAP-studied Galileo project.

“They weren’t allowed to investigate,” Loeb told DailyMail.com. “They wouldn’t do new scientific research on the question, but listen to witnesses tell what has been reported in the past.”

NASA has previously stated that they have no current evidence that UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin, nor any hard evidence of extraterrestrial life in the universe.

But they have also stated that the limited state of current data makes it difficult to draw scientific conclusions.

While their group will publish the full results of their nine-month UFO investigation in July, tomorrow’s public hearing looks more like a sprawling inter-agency task force.

UFO reports will be delivered by both the head of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), physicist Sean Kirkpatrick, and a consultant to the Federal Aviation Administration’s Air Traffic Surveillance Services Office, Mike Freie.

The meeting will go live on NASA TVthe agency’s official YouTube channel, at 10:30am ET, 1430 GMT on Wednesday (May 31).

The panel even answers written questions from the public for voting via a dedicated NASA page here.

Thomas Zurbuchen, formerly the associate administrator for science at NASA Headquarters in Washington, announced the independent study group last June by saying, “NASA believes the tools of scientific discovery are powerful and apply here as well.

‘We have access to a wide range of observations of the Earth from space – and that is the lifeblood of scientific research.

“We have the tools and team that can help us improve our understanding of the unknown. That is exactly the definition of what science is. That is what we do.’

But some academics, such as Harvard’s Avi Loeb, say the Federal Space Agency is already catching up with the science behind UFOS.

NASA has officially confirmed that it will join the search for UFOs in June 2022, amid growing interest in unidentified aerial phenomena in the US. Pictured: NASA Administrator and UAP research attorney Bill Nelson at a May 2022 hearing on proposed budget estimates for NASA

Bill Nelson. the head of NASA, said that as a senator, he saw the classified data behind these UAP reports and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end,” Loeb recalled.

He added that Nelson’s professed interest in the subject led him to discuss his own UAP research with then-subordinate NASA chief Thomas Zurbuchen.

“He asked me to send a white paper on this, which I did, and it led to the creation of this study,” Loeb told DailyMail.com, “but I never heard from Thomas Zurbuchen again until, a year later, when I heard they fixed this [NASA study group].’

Loeb, who had already begun his Galileo project at Harvard at the time, was not invited to contribute to NASA’s study group, he said, because Zurbuchen thought his new project could give the impression of a conflict of interest.

“When I asked Zurbuchen why a year later,” Loeb recalls, “he said, ‘Well, but you’ve already founded the Galileo project, and we want this study to remain indifferent to the subject, so that its members have no vested interests. in the subject.”‘

Loeb says the Galileo project has already raised about $5 million for its UAP research efforts, including land-based observatories to monitor the skies for signs of the phenomenon.

This summer, Loeb plans to travel to the Pacific Ocean to obtain and study the remains of the first interstellar meteor to hit Earth. “This is an expedition that itself costs $1.5 million,” Loeb told DailyMail.com.

“I don’t know what they’ll recommend tomorrow,” Loeb said of NASA’s public presentations, “but if they say scientific research on this topic is warranted, the Galileo project already does.

“We’ve been doing it for two years now.”

But the Galileo project isn’t the only professional group of scientists waiting for NASA’s authority to begin their own UAP studies.

Last October, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, an industry group made up of aviators, engineers and scientists from the country’s largest military and NASA contractors, launched its own UAP task force.

Dubbed the AIAA’s Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena Community of Interest, the group will be co-chaired by former Navy fighter pilot and UAP research attorney Ryan Graves and NASA planetary scientist Ravi Kopparapu.

Kopparapu, who studies the potential habitability of Earth-like exoplanets for the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, has publicly advocated for the scientific community to take UAP seriously since 2020. He told DailyMail.com that he was optimistic about his employers’ own UAP studies.

“I was not consulted by the research team,” Kopparapu said, but added, “I look forward to hearing from the team tomorrow.”
