NASA to assemble scientific team to study UFOs

NASA said on Thursday it plans to assemble a team of scientists to examine “unidentified aerial phenomena” – commonly termed UFOs.

The U.S. space agency said the focus will be on identifying available data, the best ways to gather future data and how it can use that information to advance scientific understanding of the issue.

NASA picked David Spergel, who formerly headed Princeton University’s astrophysics department, to lead the scientific team and Daniel Evans, a senior researcher in NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, to orchestrate the study.

A team of scientists is due to be convened later in the year. According to Evans, they will develop a public report on its findings in around 9 months from then.

NASA will spend “anywhere from a few tens of thousands of dollars” to no more than $100,000 on the effort, he added.
