NASA announced its formal investigation into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena on 21 OCT 2022. As a journalist for The Portugal News! I attended the 15th European Space Conference and asked how the investigation into UAPs was going. Spoiler, they had no idea.
https://spaceconference.eu/https://www.theportugalnews.com/My first attempt to ask what I thought was a simple, straightforward question the day previous was rejected by a space "researcher" assistant.
I assume I had the only question loaded on the app for this panel, and it was deleted, or possibly there were technical difficulties.
Despite an urgent need to "drive innovation, interest, and investment in space," they seemed unable to even consider the remote possibility that UAPs could exist. The main argument for the conference seemed to be a threat narrative that we must invest in space or be attacked by Russia and/or left behind other nations. This perspective will not drive innovation and is the same paradigm as in the past.
The public is interested in the unknown. UAPs are exciting and bi-partisan. The thought of alien life is exciting and has been at the heart of my own interest in space.
Despite thousands of UAP reports worldwide and the fact that NASA and the DOD are required to investigate UAPs, high members of our space agencies run the other way when it's mentioned. I talked with just two people at the conference who were open to the idea.
They CRAVE innovation, but when someone brings up an innovative idea, it is immediately shot down for being different. I hate to state the obvious to everyone, but if the idea isn't different, it's not innovative.
Why not drive innovation in science through a collaborative space program centered around investigating UAPs and learning about space and our universe together?
