Nasa unveils findings of study into UFOs
Nasa has revealed the findings from its long-awaited report into UFOs – and says there is ‘no reason to conclude existing reports have an extraterrestrial source’.
The study was conducted by its Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Independent Study Team, a group of 16 experts from across science, data, artificial intelligence (AI), space exploration, aerospace safety, media and commercial innovation.
Sharing a selection of videos showing incidents of UAP, including the famous ‘Tic Tac’ footage shown before the US Congress during a hearing in July, the team highlighted the threat to airspace by such unidentified flying objects.
However, quoting Sherlock Holmes, they dashed the hopes of alien hunters everywhere by stating there was no evidence the technology was of extraterrestrial origin.
‘There is an intellectual continuum between hypothesising that faraway extraterrestrial civilisations might produce detectable technologies, and looking for those technologies closer to home,’ the team wrote.
‘But in the search for life beyond Earth, extraterrestrial life itself must be the hypothesis of last resort – the answer we turn to only after ruling out all other possibilities. As Sherlock Holmes said, “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”
‘To date, in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, there is no conclusive evidence suggesting an extraterrestrial origin for UAP.’
