NASA: Announcement of Independent UAP Study Team Members
NASA announced the 16 members of an independent team tasked with examining unidentified aerial phenomena. The study begins October 24, 2022, and will analyze unclassified data over nine months to develop future research protocols. Findings will be released publicly by mid-2023.
Background
The U.S. space agency revealed the composition of a specialized scientific panel led by astrophysicist David Spergel. The group will examine how existing data from civilian, commercial, and other sources might clarify the nature of UAP sightings. Coordinated by Daniel Evans under the Science Mission Directorate, the project aims to establish standardized protocols for future data collection. Officials emphasized that only unclassified information will be reviewed, with the final report promising full transparency expected by mid-2023.
