Keith’s note: OK. 3 expert military aviation witnesses with solid careers serving their country are currently talking about UAP sightings in public before Congress. No tin foil hats, no talk of abductions or Elvis. Just details about totally inexplicable aerodynamic performance. Just sayin’. One witness said he can’t comment in open session if government has had contact with aliens and that non-human biological remains have been recovered from crashes. The whole Life in the universe thing is a long standing feature of NASA’s research portfolio. This congressional testimony begs an inquiry to NASA Public Affairs. Alas, if I asked Marc Etkind and NASA PAO to comment they’d either 1. not respond 2. tell me that they have a committee that is working on the topic and that I am welcome to read their report whenever it comes out.

Keith’s note: Late last Friday NASA posted an item on NASA.gov. Unlike all other releases and media advisories NASA did not send this out to the regular email ist. As of this posting it still has not done so, Nor is the press release listed on the recent press release page even though items release immediately before and then after are posted. No mention on @NASA on Twitter either. You’d think that a panel investigating some that is – regardless of your opinion – “interesting” would be made more visible by NASA. Guess again. Yet another example of NASA PAO’s non-existent policy on how to do things.

NASA to Discuss New Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Study Today, NASA “NASA will host a media teleconference at 1 p.m. EDT today – Thursday, June 9 – to discuss a new study team the agency is commissioning to examine unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). The purpose of the study is to examine UAPs – observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena – from […]

Keith’s note: Bill Nelson was on CNN just before 8:00 pm EDT Sunday night to talk about the UAP/UFO report released by the Pentagon Friday evening. Nelson said “I have seen the unclassified and classified version of the report. It says what we thought. We do not know what the answer is to what those navy pilots saw. I have asked our scientists if there is any kind of explanation. […]

Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, DNI “The UAP documented in this limited dataset demonstrate an array of aerial behaviors, reinforcing the possibility there are multiple types of UAP requiring different explanations. Our analysis of the data supports the construct that if and when individual UAP incidents are resolved they will fall into one of five potential explanatory categories: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, USG or industry developmental programs, foreign adversary […]

Keith’s note: I have asked NASA multiple times over the years what their plan is in the eventuality that life – past or present – is discovered off of our planet. Based on previous NASA announcements such as the ALH84001 Mars meteorite, water on Mars in 2000, etc. NASA has never had a plan and as best I can determine it still has no plan. They just keep their heads […]
