NASA, the top space agency official, is planning to form a group to hunt for UFOs. They gave a speech before the National Academies of Science, Medicine, and Engineering. They said in the speech that it was “high-risk, high-impact,” and requires a lot of study. The announcement comes a week after rare sightings of UFOS.

They found more than 140 unusual flying objects that professionals were not able to identify. They didn’t know what the mysterious flying objects were and didn’t even find any evidence that the objects were man-made or from a UFO. Because of this, it would be hard to “draw scientific conclusions about the nature of such events.”

But NASA was not giving up and still wanted to hunt for UFOS. According to the Washington Post, they started studying the planets a bit more. The agency thinks that NASA has very good and powerful tools to discover if UFOS are real. “That’s the very definition of what science is. That’s what we do”. The reporters asked Zurbuchen, a Swiss-American astrophysicist. He gave a speech to push NASA to take on risky projects.
