“One of the most exciting things in science are things we don’t understand,” Sperger added.
“Over the decades, NASA has answered the call to tackle some of the most perplexing mysteries we know of, and this is no different,” Daniel Evans said in a press call.
“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.”
Evans explained that “The first step in any investigation is to figure out what data is at hand; that’s all this study is doing.”
“This is just step one. What data is out there that can be brought to bear?”
Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for science, acknowledged NASA’s ongoing research into “techno-signatures.” And says it is looking for signs of alien technology.
“Part of our task at NASA given to us by Congress is not only to do fundamental research in the skies and so forth, but as part of that also to find life elsewhere,” Zurbuchen said.
