Science For Everyone: What Are UFOs? Know Interesting Anecdotes, And How NASA Aims To Track Them

<p><strong>UFOs: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome back to "Science For Everyone", ABP Live's weekly science column. Last week, we explained why cracking of joints makes noises such as popping, grinding and snapping, and whether repetitive cracking can damage the soft tissues of joints. This week, we discuss what unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are, some interesting anecdotes of these mysterious phenomena, and how NASA aims to track them. UFOs are also known as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), and are commonly associated with aliens or intelligent life from outer space.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">NASA on September 14, 2023, commissioned an independent study team to understand UAP, and published a report mentioning how the space agency can contribute to the ongoing efforts of the US government to analyse observations of aerial phenomena that cannot be classified as balloons, aircraft, or as known natural phenomena. NASA also appointed Mark Mclnerney as the director of UAP research. During a press conference held to announce the commissioning of this independent study team, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said, "This is the first time NASA has taken concrete action to study UAP". The NASA Chief also said that the study team "did not find evidence that UAP have an extraterrestrial origin". Most events were conventional balloons or aeroplanes. However, he said that the study team aims to change the idea of UAPs from "sensationalism to science".</span></p>
