NASA panel holds first public meeting on UFOs | FULL

A NASA panel formed last year to study "unidentified aerial phenomena," commonly referred to as UFOs, held its first public meeting Wednesday ahead of hotly-anticipated report scheduled to be released in the coming weeks.

The 16-member body, which includes experts from fields ranging from physics to astrobiology, was tasked with examining unclassified UFO sightings and other data collected from government and commercial sectors.

David Spergel, chair of NASA’s panel on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), said Wednesday that stigma around the reporting of UAP has made the collection of data on the topic difficult. He said data collection is also “unsystematic and fragmented” across many agencies and that reported UAP sightings are often “uninformative” due to lack of quality control and data curation.

The panel represents the first such inquiry conducted by the U.S. space agency on a subject the government previously relegated to the secretive purview of military and national security officials.
