NASA: 16 Mitglieder für UAP-Studienteam
NASA appointed 16 experts on October 21, 2022, for an independent study on unidentified aerial phenomena. The team will analyze unclassified data over nine months and issue a report in mid-2023.
Background
Event Overview
On October 21, 2022, NASA announced the selection of 16 individuals for its independent study team focused on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). The group aims to create foundations for scientific examination of UAP sightings through data analysis from government civilians, commercial sources, and others. A comprehensive report based solely on unclassified material is scheduled for release in mid-2023.
Key Personnel
Daniel Evans, assistant deputy associate administrator for research in NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, leads the effort. Notable team members include oceanographer Paula Bontempi, journalist Nadia Drake, astrobiologist David Grinspoon, former astronaut Scott Kelly, and astronomer Matt Mountain. The team is chaired by David Spergel of the Simons Foundation.
Objectives and Scope
The nine-month initiative, starting October 24, will propose methods to evaluate existing data and outline future analysis strategies for NASA. It emphasizes transparency and scientific rigor without addressing classified information.
Significance
This marks NASA’s structured approach to UAP research, following congressional hearings and Pentagon initiatives, enhancing data-driven insights into aerial anomalies.
