NASA Has a U.F.O. Research Director, but He Remains Unidentified

NASA Appoints a U.F.O. Research Director
NASA said it had hired a director of research to study “unidentified anomalous phenomenon,” or U.A.P., after a report recommended the agency do more to investigate the topic. The agency did not share the director’s name.
“The NASA independent study team did not find any evidence that U.A.P. have an extraterrestrial origin. But we don’t know what these U.A.P. are. That’s why I’m announcing that NASA has appointed a NASA director of U.A.P. research. They are being tasked with developing and overseeing the implementation of NASA’s vision for U.A.P. research.” “In their role, they will centralize communications, resources and data analytical capabilities across the federal government to establish a robust database for the evaluation of any future data.” “So you’ve appointed a director of U.A.P. research. Can you name the official who’s —“ “We will not give his name out, no.” “OK.”

NASA said it had hired a director of research to study “unidentified anomalous phenomenon,” or U.A.P., after a report recommended the agency do more to investigate the topic. The agency did not share the director’s name.

Pledging a new, transparent, scientifically rigorous look at U.F.O.s, NASA on Thursday said it had appointed a director of research on the topic — and then kept the name of the director a secret.

The new position is part of NASA’s response to recommendations made by an independent study team that the agency had convened. The panel looked at how to better gather and study information about “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or U.A.P. — the modern term for U.F.O.s.
