CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA held its first public meeting on UFOs Wednesday a year after launching a study into unexplained sightings.

The space agency televised the hourslong hearing featuring an independent panel of experts. The team includes 16 scientists and other experts selected by NASA including retired astronaut Scott Kelly, the first American to spend nearly a year in space.

Several committee members have been subjected to “online abuse” for serving on the team, which detracts from the scientific process, said NASA’s Dan Evans, adding that NASA security is dealing with it.

“It’s precisely this rigorous, evidence-based approach that allows one to separate the fact from fiction,” Evans said.

2. My Nephew is an engineer working for the government, he won't even talk about what he

can or can't talk about. His work is a black hole to the rest of the family. That is how he stays out of jail!

5. I still remember when Jimmy Carter reported, along with others, about having seen a UFO

And of course he was given a hard time about it, but he said that it was just an "unidentified flying object," he never said that it was aliens from outer space.

9. Welcome to DU

Uh, what does this have to do with UFO's? Because it's science?

10. I thought it was 4/8/24 ???

14. That is correct.

11. I'm not so glad about it. It seems one of the best places to see it in the belt accross Texas ...

... is the town I live in. All the motel and vacation rentals out here are already booked and it means that leases that close even as far out as several months before are in danger of being held off market just to rent out that week. Some families may well have a housing shortage to deal with for a month or so.

All auto rentals are booked with standby lists. It will be a crazy place here for a week.

13. It's in April, not June.

Stanford professor says aliens are ‘100 per cent’ on earth, US is ‘reverse-engineering downed UFOs’

15. He was also quoted claiming that ChatGPT is an alien intelligence.

Uh, sure it is.

As for aliens, he has no first-hand knowledge. He says his assertions are based on what others have told him.

In the context of aliens, I would take anything he says with a massive grain of salt and certainly not as proof of anything.

Curiously (or, perhaps, not so curiously), the only original sources for that story are all right-wing (including yours), most of them related in one way or another to Murdoch's empire.

16. He said

“We’re already dealing with an alien intelligence in our own emails, ChatGPT et cetera, we don’t know what it’s doing, so imagine if you were a million years ahead of us — how do you have a dialogue with something like that?”

I don't think he meant an ET intelligence. He meant alien as non-human.

He's a respected researcher. He's the real deal.
