NASA Appoints Chief of UFO Research to Investigate Mystery Sightings

NASA has appointed a new director of research into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs, following a recommendation from an expert panel. The panel's report stated that there is no evidence of an extraterrestrial origin for these objects, but emphasized the need for NASA to gather more information and play a larger role in helping the Pentagon detect UAP. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson expressed his personal belief in the existence of life beyond Earth but stated that the chances of extraterrestrial beings visiting Earth are low. The new research director will focus on establishing a robust database for the evaluation of future UAP.
