NASA announced this Thursday that it will create a special department to study the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (FANI in Spanish, UAP in English: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), after having verified that those we traditionally call ufos They are not being studied properly. He also promised transparency in any potential discovery.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelsonstated that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided to appoint a new director – whose identity was not revealed – to make sense of the events observed in the sky that cannot be identified as balloons, aircraft or as natural phenomena known from an scientific perspective.
“We will use the artificial intelligence and machine learning to look for anomalies in the skies and we will continue looking for habitability,” he explained in a press conference in which the independent report that has encouraged taking these measures and improving the identification of UFOs was presented.

The head of the NASA Scientific Mission, Nicola Foxstated that UFOs “are one of the greatest mysteries on our planet” and this is due to “the limited amount of high-quality data that surrounds these incidents and which often makes them unidentifiable.”
“While there are numerous eyewitness accounts and images associated with the FANI, they are not consistent, detailed, and cannot be used to draw scientific conclusions definitive information about its nature and origin,” he stated.
Although eyewitness accounts and images of UFOs/FANI exist, they are not consistent nor can they be used to draw scientific conclusions about their nature and origin.

NASA has reached these conclusions after the recommendations of the report Unidentified anomalous phenomena, now presented and commissioned by a team of independent scientists. The paper states that “currently, detection of NIAF is often incidental, captured by sensors that were not designed or calibrated for this purpose and that lack complete metadata.”
The detection of these phenomena is usually fortuitous and with incomplete data, which makes their origin uncertain, according to the report
“Added to incomplete archiving and preservation of data, the origin of numerous phenomena of this type remains uncertain,” he adds.
Therefore, experts recommend NASA to play “a prominent role” in the Executive-wide effort to understand FANI, “drawing on its extensive experience to contribute to a comprehensive, evidence-based approach rooted in the scientific method.”
He director of the new department dedicated to UFOs, Fox detailed, will be responsible for “centralizing the communications, resources and data analytical capabilities of the entire federal government to establish a solid database for the evaluation of any future data.”
“The director will leverage NASA’s expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning and space observation, tools that will support and enhance the government initiative,” he added.
Transparency commitment
At the press conference, Nelson – a former Democratic senator who in 1986 became the second member of Congress to travel to space – denied that the US Executive is being less than transparent with the phenomena that are found and cannot be identified and insisted that NASA has found “no evidence that FANI have an extraterrestrial origin.”

“There is a lot of concern today that there are classified documents and that the US government is not being open. Well, we We are the Government and we are open and we will be on this,” insisted Nelson, who also acknowledged that he cannot put his hand on the fire for other government departments that are involved in UFO analysis.
Last July, a US congressional subcommittee asked the Government to report the data it has on unidentified flying objects after hearing the statement of former members of the Army who claimed to have seen them and who also said that the authorities have evidence of them.
The members of the subcommittee demanded that the US Government establish a “transparent and secure” system so that these incidents can be reported to the authorities without damaging the reputation of witnesses.
A matter of national security
Several of the experts who participated in the study were present at this Thursday’s press conference, including Daniel Evanswho stated that understanding FANI is vital because “it provides the opportunity to expand our understanding of the world around us” and that it is also necessary for national security issues.
“Their presence raises serious concerns about the safety of our skies and it is the obligation of this nation to determine whether these phenomena pose any potential risk for the safety of airspace,” he stated.
The study of UFOs and the creation of this new department will also be fundamental to stop seeing UFOs, now FANI in a broad sense, as “something sensational” and begin to study them as a purely scientific phenomenon.
Nelson stated that it is necessary to “shift the conversation about FANI from sensationalism to science” and pledged that everything NASA finds will be shared “transparently with everyone.”
