NASA report finds no evidence that UFOs are extraterrestrial

NASA’s independent study team released its highly anticipated report on UFOs on Sept. 14, 2023.

Key Points: 
  • NASA’s independent study team released its highly anticipated report on UFOs on Sept. 14, 2023.
  • In part to move beyond the stigma often attached to UFOs, where military pilots fear ridicule or job sanctions if they report them, UFOs are now characterized by the U.S. government as UAPs, or unidentified anomalous phenomena.
  • I have long been skeptical of the claim that UFOs represent visits by aliens to Earth.

From sensationalism to science

    • He said he wanted to shift the UAP conversation from sensationalism to one of science.
    • With this statement, Nelson was alluding to some of the more outlandish claims about UAPs and UFOs.
    • Scientists have called this claim fraudulent and say the mummies may have been looted from gravesites in Peru.

Conclusions from the report

    • The NASA study team report sheds little light on whether some UAPs are extraterrestrial.
    • The report does offer recommendations to NASA on how to move these investigations forward.
    • The NASA study team described in the report the types of data that can shed more light on UAPs.
    • The authors note the importance of reducing the stigma that can cause both military and commercial pilots to feel that they cannot freely report sightings.
    • The NASA study team suggests gathering sightings by commercial pilots using the Federal Aviation Administration and combining these with classified sightings not included in the report.

Looking for a needle in a haystack

    • Using analogies, officials described the analysis process as looking for a needle in a haystack, or separating the wheat from the chaff.
    • The officials said they needed a consistent and rigorous methodology for characterizing sightings, as a way of homing in on something truly anomalous.
    • Spergel said the study team’s goal was to characterize the hay – or the mundane phenomena – and subtract it to find the needle, or the potentially exciting discovery.
    • He noted that artificial intelligence can help researchers comb through massive datasets to find rare, anomalous phenomena.

During the meeting, several military officers testified that unidentified anomalous phenomena – the government’s name for UFOs – pose a threat to national security.

Key Points: 
  • During the meeting, several military officers testified that unidentified anomalous phenomena – the government’s name for UFOs – pose a threat to national security.
  • Their testimony may have raised eyebrows in the chamber, but there’s still no public physical evidence of extraterrestrial life.

1. Whistleblower allegations

    • The Pentagon has denied this claim, and it has denied the existence of any program designed to retrieve and reverse-engineer crashed UFOs.
    • All witnesses at the hearing advocated for more government transparency around reports of UFOs.
    • While having access to more data may help understand what’s going on, as the University of Arizona’s Chris Impey put it, “the gold standard is physical evidence.”

2. Sociological explanations

    • People want explanations for ambiguous situations, and they’re easily influenced by others.
    • “Poorly documented UFO pics and videos spread on social media, leading media outlets to grab and republish the most intriguing.
    • Whistleblowers emerge periodically, fanning the flames with claims of secret evidence.”

3. Signature detection

    • Instead, scientists could potentially pick up signals like radio waves or pollution from some distant galaxy that might indicate extraterrestrial technology.
    • The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is a group of scientists all working on the search for extraterrestrial life.
    • “However, this approach assumes that extraterrestrial civilizations want to communicate with other technologically advanced life,” Huston and Wright explained.

4. Ethical considerations

Whistleblower calls for government transparency as Congress digs for the truth about UFOs

Thursday, July 27, 2023

A congressional subcommittee met on June 26, 2023, to hear testimony from several military officers who allege the government is concealing evidence of UFOs.

Key Points: 
  • A congressional subcommittee met on June 26, 2023, to hear testimony from several military officers who allege the government is concealing evidence of UFOs.
  • By holding a hearing on UFOs – now called “unidentified anomalous phenomena” by government agencies – the subcommittee sought to understand whether these UAPs pose a threat to national security.

UFO oversight so far

    • In June 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report on the phenomena.
    • In November 2021, the Pentagon formed a new group to coordinate efforts to detect and identify objects in restricted airspace.
    • Then in May 2022, a House Intelligence subcommittee held the first congressional hearing in over half a century on military reports of UAPs.
    • So the subcommittee is using its overall charge of oversight and accountability to get some answers.

Eyebrow-raising testimony

    • Three witnesses, all ex-military officers, gave sworn testimony to the subcommittee.
    • Video of the encounter was released by the Department of Defense in 2017 and publicized by The New York Times.
    • Fravor testified that the technology he witnessed was far superior to anything human beings have.
    • He described objects with no visible means of propulsion carrying out sudden maneuvers that no known technology could achieve.
    • He recounted a situation in which two jets had to take evasive action as they encountered a UAP.

Calls for transparency

    • Lawmakers from both parties called for more government transparency.
    • The push for government transparency will likely intensify, and subcommittee members hope to have a classified briefing to evaluate the claims made by Grusch.
    • If Grusch’s claims of crashed UAPs are ever verified, that will be the first UAP hearing with a truly dramatic outcome.

  • Rep. Burchett is planning to take up legislation on UAP reporting, asking Rep. Garcia to potentially co-sponsor, during the hearing.

First contact with aliens could end in colonization and genocide if we don't learn from history

We’re only halfway through 2023, and it feels already like the year of alien contact.

Key Points: 
  • We’re only halfway through 2023, and it feels already like the year of alien contact.
  • In February, President Joe Biden gave orders to shoot down three unidentified aerial phenomena – NASA’s title for UFOs.
  • Most recently, an independent analysis published in June suggests that UFOs might have been collected by a clandestine agency of the U.S. government.
  • Our collaborative preparations for the workshop drew from transdisciplinary research in Australia, New Zealand, Africa and across the Americas.

Who’s in charge of first contact

    • The question of who is “in charge” of preparing for contact with alien life immediately comes to mind.
    • The communities – and their interpretive lenses – most likely to engage in any contact scenario would be military, corporate and scientific.
    • Few in the social science and humanities fields have been afforded opportunities to contribute to concepts of and preparations for contact.

Ethics of listening

    • Neither Breakthough Listen nor SETI’s site features a current statement of ethics beyond a commitment to transparency.
    • SETI-affiliated scholars tend to reassure critics that the intentions of those listening for technosignatures are benevolent, since “what harm could come from simply listening?” The chair emeritus of SETI Research, Jill Tarter, defended listening because any ET civilization would perceive our listening techniques as immature or elementary.
    • Seen this way, isn’t listening potentially without permission just another form of surveillance?
    • It seems contradictory that we begin our relations with aliens by listening in without their permission while actively working to stop other countries from listening to certain U.S. communications.

Histories of contact

    • Throughout histories of Western colonization, even in those few cases when contactees were intended to be protected, contact has led to brutal violence, pandemics, enslavement and genocide.
    • Cook’s actions put into motion wide-scale colonization and Indigenous dispossession across Oceania, including the violent conquests of Australia and New Zealand.
    • As scholars attuned to both research ethics and histories of colonialism, we wrote about Cook in our working group statement to showcase why SETI might want to explicitly disentangle their intentions from those of corporations, the military and the government.
    • David Delgado Shorter has received funding from the National Science Foundation, the University of California, and the California Community Foundation.
