Mummy

• 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.
