NASA, Bill Nelson’s head, announced a new unit for studying Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), or UFOs, reported Spanish and French press agencies.
He made this known in a recent press event centered on UAP detection techniques.
“We’ll use artificial intelligence to spot sky oddities and search for habitable zones,” Nelson said.
He didn’t name the division’s head but denied the U.S. hides UAP data. Nelson confirmed no findings of extraterrestrial UAP origins.

Nelson promised transparency on UAP matters. “We’ll remain open about it,” he ensured, not commenting on other departments’ UAP efforts.
At a Congressional meeting, lawmakers sought UAP data after military personnel reported sightings.
They called for a clear reporting system to protect witnesses’ reputations.
Dan Evans, an expert at the event, emphasized UAP understanding. “It broadens our knowledge and is crucial for national security,” he said.
This division seeks to study UAPs scientifically, moving beyond sensationalism.
Background
NASA has long been at the forefront of space exploration. Its primary focus has been on planets, stars, and galaxies.
However, the UAP topic has gained momentum recently. The U.S. military reported multiple encounters with these phenomena.
Such reports have fueled public interest and speculation.
Historically, UAPs were often dismissed as mere hoaxes. Yet, credible testimonies changed this perspective.
Even pilots and astronauts have reported unexplained aerial events. These accounts demand serious investigation.
The public has been divided on UAPs for decades. Some see them as proof of extraterrestrial life.
Others believe they’re secret military experiments. Both theories have their proponents and critics.
Bill Nelson’s move is a significant shift. NASA’s involvement lends credibility to UAP research.
It suggests the topic deserves rigorous scientific inquiry. The use of artificial intelligence also indicates advanced study techniques.
This decision might influence other space agencies globally. They might follow suit, investigating UAPs in their regions.
The collective data could help unravel the UAP mystery. The findings could reshape our understanding of the skies.
