CTOnews.com, June 1 (Xinhua)-- on May 31, local time, an independent NASA team studying unidentified flying objects (UFO) held a public meeting for the first time to discuss its findings since its establishment in 2022.

The independent team specializes in the study of unidentified anomalies (UAP) in the sky, commonly known as UFO. The team says there is no convincing evidence that these phenomena are related to extraterrestrial life. But that doesn't mean the team ruled out aliens or any other possible explanation, saying only that of the more than 800 strange flying objects or other inexplicable phenomena that have been observed so far, the data are not enough to draw any clear conclusions.

The team, made up of 16 scientists and experts from different fields, stressed the need for better data at the meeting. The group was set up in October last year to lay the foundation for future studies of the nature of UAP by NASA and other institutions and will submit a report. NASA defines UAP as "from a scientific point of view, it cannot be recognized as an aircraft or a sky event with known natural phenomena".

In recent years, some strange objects photographed by Navy fighter pilots carry out maneuvers that cannot be explained by known aircraft at an alarming speed, as well as other inexplicable phenomena, which have aroused great public interest in UFO. Panelists say they have faced online harassment since NASA announced the study last year, with some believing that UFO is real, while others think that studying the issue is ridiculous and that everything can be explained.

Nicola Fox, director of the NASA's Space Science Bureau, said: "it's frustrating to hear that members of our team have been harassed online for working on this topic. NASA supports our team members and we do not tolerate any harassment. Harassment will only lead to further stigmatization of the UAP field, seriously hinder scientific progress, and dampen the enthusiasm of others to study this important topic, and your harassment also hinders the public's right to access knowledge. "

Spergel said one of the team's goals is to help reduce stigmatization and encourage airline pilots and others to stand up when they see UAP without fear of ridicule or embarrassment. "despite NASA's efforts to reduce stigmatization, the origin of UAP is still unclear." "and we feel that a lot of incidents go unreported," Spergel said. "for example, commercial pilots are very reluctant to report anomalies. One of our goals, and to involve NASA, is to eliminate stigmatization and obtain high-quality data. In fact, if I sum up what we have learned in one sentence, it is that we need high-quality data."

According to CTOnews.com, the team plans to release its report later this summer and may also launch a mobile app that allows users to collect and send valuable data. "there are 30 to 4 billion phones in the world," Spergel said. "phones can not only take images, but also measure local magnetic fields, gravity and so on." This data can be combined with information collected by radar and other sensors to analyze UAP, which is more detailed than current data.
