NASA has unveiled its first substantial report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), formerly known as UFOs, marking a significant shift in its approach. In response to an independent panel’s findings, NASA has appointed Mark McInerney as the director of UAP research. While NASA Administrator Bill Nelson emphasized that there’s no evidence of extraterrestrial origins for UAPs, he vowed transparency in their investigation. The report recommends cross-agency collaboration and the use of AI to analyze sightings. NASA also plans to collect data from the public and explore the wider solar system for UAPs. McInerney will lead this crucial effort, supported by AI and crowdsourcing.
