A new release of US government documents offers more detail about ‘unidentified anomalous phenomena’ but explanations are hard to find.
Surveys have found that researchers studying UAPs can face pushback from mentors and colleagues, even from people who think it’s an important line of research.
The belief in aliens is now rising to the extent that politicians, at least in the US, feel they have to respond.
Several scientific projects are aiming to investigate UFO sightings.
Modern reactions to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs – what you might think of as UFOs) are similar to those of thousands of years ago.
The space agency hopes to get to the bottom of the many sightings being reported.
Months after a military officer made sensational claims about unexplained objects in the skies, NASA released a report loosely outlining a scientific approach for analyzing UAP reports.
UFOs are back in the limelight after claims made by whistleblowers in the USA, but is it possible that aliens have visited Earth?
You’re not allowed to visit the part of Nevada known as Area 51. That’s because it’s a top-secret government facility. But the secrecy has to do with spy planes, not space aliens.
