Nasa UAP report Updates: Life is out there, agency’s administrator says
Nasa released its findings from a long-awaited study on unexplained flying objects. The US space agency announced last year that it was reviewing evidence regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs – which has replaced the term “UFO”.
In an earlier essay on the NASA website, Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist, said that it would be “egocentric” of humans to assume we are the only life in the universe. “At the moment, life on Earth is the only known life in the universe, but there are compelling arguments to suggest we are not alone,” he asserted.
The subject has long fascinated the public and the study could eventually usher in a new mission for Nasa, moving away from “debunking” sightings to taking them more seriously.
