00:00 But right now, I actually want to change the shot on your screen for something very important
00:06 that we continue to follow.
00:07 There on your screen, live, raw and unfiltered, you see Bill Nelson.
00:12 He's a NASA administrator, NASA holding a news conference right now on the UAP, Unidentified
00:19 Anomalous Phenomena.
00:21 Very interesting commentary, so I'm going to be quiet now and pop up the audio so we
00:25 can all listen in live, raw and unfiltered.
00:29 We're going up to the top of the cliff where the scientists feel that there could be the
00:37 best examples of if there were life there millions of years ago.
00:47 Whether we're dealing with Perseverance or the James Webb Space Telescope, which searches
00:54 for exoplanets with signs of habitability, we are looking for signs of life, past and
01:04 present.
01:05 And it's in our DNA to explore and to ask why things are the way they are.
01:16 In June of last year, NASA commissioned an independent study team to examine unidentified
01:23 anomalous phenomena.
01:26 We did so with a few goals in mind.
01:30 First to examine how NASA can use our expertise and instruments to study UAP from a scientific
01:39 perspective.
01:41 Second, shift the conversation about UAP from sensationalism to science.
01:53 And to make sure that whatever we find or whatever we recommend, to make sure that information
02:02 is shared transparently around the world.
02:08 There's a global fascination with UAP.
02:12 On my travels, one of the first questions I often get is about these sightings.
02:21 And much of that fascination is due to the unknown nature of it.
02:28 Think about it.
02:29 Most UAP sightings result in very limited data.
02:34 That makes it even more difficult to draw scientific conclusions about the nature of
02:39 UAP.
02:42 And so this independent study team brought together some of the world's leading scientists,
02:49 data and artificial intelligence experts, aerospace safety specialists, all with a specific
03:00 charge from me, which is to tell how to apply the full focus of science and data to UAP.
03:12 And this is the first time that NASA has taken concrete action to seriously look into UAP.
03:21 And this independent study team was just that, independent.
03:27 Now NASA has a statutory authority to look for life in the universe.
03:39 And when you think of the universe, and especially what we have learned from the James Webb Space
03:45 Telescope, how vast that it is, we knew before, and it was a NASA scientist, Dr. John Mather,
03:55 who got the Nobel that determined that the universe was 13.8 billion years old.
04:05 And over the years, particularly accelerated in the last century, we have an understanding
04:13 that of course ours is not the only galaxy.
04:18 And there are billions and billions of galaxies, and each of those galaxies, including our
04:25 own, have billions and billions of stars.
04:31 And with the James Webb looking at the exoplanets, we are now beginning to discover, and somewhere
04:42 out there, we will discover, another medium-sized stony planet around a medium-sized sun or
04:54 star at just the right distance, not too far, not too close, with a tilt in its axis that
05:04 rotates, that has carbon, that will have a habitable atmosphere.
05:15 If you ask me, do I believe there's life in a universe that is so vast that it's hard
05:23 for me to comprehend how big it is, my personal answer is yes.
05:31 But I asked some of our scientists.
05:34 As a matter of fact, the Washington Post editorial board asked us to come down to the question,
05:42 what is the mathematical probability that there is life out there in the universe?
05:49 And if you calculate in billions of stars, in billions of galaxies, that there's replicated
06:02 what I just said, another stony planet, the answer was, what's the likelihood?
06:12 At least a trillion.
06:15 That's from our scientists.
06:19 So we start this without any preconceived notions, but understanding that we're in a
06:28 world of discovery, and we have taken, we NASA, have taken for the first time concrete
06:36 action to seriously look into UAP.
06:41 And this independent study team is exactly that.
06:46 It's independent.
06:49 They work to develop recommendations about how NASA could better examine them from a
06:54 scientific perspective.
06:57 And the top takeaway from the study is that there is a lot more to learn.
07:03 The NASA independent study team did not find any evidence that UAP have an extraterrestrial
07:10 origin.
07:12 But we don't know what these UAP are.
07:19 That's why I'm announcing that NASA has appointed a NASA director of UAP research.
07:27 They are being tasked with developing and overseeing the implementation of NASA's vision
07:35 for UAP research.
07:39 We will use NASA's expertise to work with other agencies to analyze UAP.
07:47 We will use AI and machine learning to search the skies for anomalies as we have been searching
07:55 the heavens and will continue to search the heavens for habitability.
08:03 And NASA will do this transparently.
08:07 So while today is a significant step for NASA, it's certainly not our final step.
08:14 And we're going to share more with you and I want to introduce you to Dr. Nikki Fox,
08:20 who is the head of our science mission directory.
08:24 Nikki.
08:31 Good morning and thank you so much, Administrator Nelson.
08:34 It's always tough to follow Bill.
08:36 He's such a great speaker.
08:38 But I want to thank the independent study team for their amazing service on the study
08:45 and for their continued contributions towards the advancement of our nation's understanding
08:51 of unidentified anomalous phenomena.
08:54 UAP, as Bill just eloquently said, UAP are one of our planet's greatest mysteries.
09:01 And it's really due to the limited number of high quality data that surrounds such incidents
09:07 and often renders them unidentifiable.
09:11 While there are numerous eyewitness accounts and visuals associated with UAP, they're not
09:16 consistent, they're not detailed, and they're not curated observations that can be used
09:22 to make definitive scientific conclusions about the nature and the origin of UAP.
09:29 The language of scientists is data and data points towards a scientific conclusion to
09:35 what the nature and the origin of UAP could be.
09:39 That leads us to why we're here today.
09:42 The independent study team's report is now public and it can be found at science.nasa.gov/uap.
09:53 While NASA is still working to evaluate the report and to assess the independent study
09:58 team's findings and recommendations, NASA is committed to immediately contributing to
10:03 the federal government's unified UAP effort.
10:07 And as you heard, we have appointed a director of UAP research.
10:13 In their role, they will centralize communications, resources, and data analytical capabilities
10:20 across the federal government to establish a robust database for the evaluation of any
10:26 future data.
10:28 Additionally, our director of UAP research will also leverage NASA's expertise in artificial
10:34 intelligence, machine learning, and space-based observation tools that will support and enhance
10:41 the broader government initiative into UAP.
10:45 They will serve as NASA's point of contact for government entities, but especially for
10:51 the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or ARRO.
10:55 And this will ensure coordinated efforts and effective communication channels.
11:02 Beyond our director of UAP research, NASA will also advance citizen reporting by working
11:08 with the public and commercial pilots to collect a broader set of data to add to the vast data
11:15 repositories to not only contribute to a broader, more reliable data set for future UAP incidents,
11:22 but to also contribute to the destigmatization of the important study of UAPs.
11:29 And with that, it is my great pleasure to hand over to Dr. Dan Evans, who is the NASA
11:35 official responsible for supporting this amazing study.
