More recently, in 2017, The New York Times revealed a clandestine Pentagon UAP research program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which ended in 2012 due to lack of funding. Between 19, the United States Air Force (USAF) studied UAPs under Project Blue Book. This isn’t the first program dedicated to UAP research. “I do want to underscore that NASA is uniquely positioned to address UAPs, because who other than us can use the power of data and science to look at what’s happening in our skies? And quite frankly, this is why we do what we do.” “Over the decades, NASA has answered the call to tackle some of the most perplexing mysteries we know of, and this is no different,” said Evans in a press call. The team will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, president of the Simons Foundation in New York City, alongside Daniel Evans, the assistant deputy associate administrator for research at NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Starting this fall, the study will have researchers identify what UAP data already exists, determine how best to collect UAP data moving forward and develop methods to study the nature of UAPs, for both scientific and aerospace defense reasons.
But don’t expect some sort of “X-Files” team seeking to prove the existence of extraterrestrials. NASA has announced the formation of a study team dedicated to UFOs - or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), as they’ve been rebranded to shed some of their tin-foil-hat stigma.
