NASA's group that formed around a year ago to study unidentified aerial phenomena is holding its first public meeting ahead of a report expected in the next few weeks

The main takeaway from the meeting was that we simply don’t have enough data to identify and explain UAPs. “The current data collection efforts about UAPs are unsystematic and fragmented across various agencies, often using instruments uncalibrated for scientific data collection,” saidHistorically, UAPs have rarely been studied with rigour, and all the data has never been gathered in one place before.
The events that the team have managed to look into in detail are traceable back to mundane sources – commercial aircraft, balloons, even radiation from microwave ovens. So far, there is no evidence that any UAP has anything to do with anything extraterrestrial, several of the team members emphasised.

NASA panel to hold first public meeting on UFO study ahead of reportA NASA panel formed last year to study what the government calls 'unidentified aerial phenomena,' commonly termed UFOs, was due to hold its first public meeting on Wednesday, ahead of a report expected in coming weeks. The 16-member body, assembling experts from fields ranging from physics to astrobiology, was formed last June to examine unclassified UFO sightings and other data collected from civilian government and commercial sectors. The focus of Wednesday's four-hour public session 'is to hold final deliberations before the agency's independent study team publishes a report this summer,' NASA said in announcing the meeting.
