NASA Going "Full Force"on UFO Research (
Given the changing landscape around UFOs or, as the government calls them, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), NASA will soon get in on the action. The space agency is gearing up to launch an extensive study into the unknown flying vessels; in fact, one official even says NASA is going "full force" on the research.
"We're going full force" NASA assistant deputy associate administrator Daniel Evans said in a town hall meeting this week (via Space.com). "This is really important to us, and we're placing a high priority on it."
According to Evans, NASA's panel will included 15 to 17 people, which will be made up of "some of the world's leading scientists, data practitioners, artificial intelligence practitioners, aerospace safety experts, all with a specific charge, which is to tell us how to apply the full focus of science and data to UAP."
The study was first announced in June, when NASA announced it planned to research the safety of UAP. The study is expected to parse through existing data and come up with procedures on recording future sightings.
"NASA believes that the tools of scientific discovery are powerful and apply here also," Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator for science at NASA Headquarters in Washington said at the time. "We have access to a broad range of observations of Earth from space – and that is the lifeblood of scientific inquiry. We have the tools and team who can help us improve our understanding of the unknown. That's the very definition of what science is. That's what we do."
During the town hall last Wednesday, Evans said he thinks the study can be done by October should things go well.
"NASA really is uniquely positioned to address UAP, because we know how to use the tools of science and data to discern what might be happening out there in the skies," Evans added. "And, to be frank, no other agency is trusted as much by the public as us."

Black 'snowflake' UFO caught on video hovering over city ( TweakTown )
A woman has filmed a black UFO hovering above a city in Mexico, with the footage showing the object to have a snowflake-like shape.
A woman has filmed what she claims to be a black UFO hovering above a city in Mexico, and the video has since been viewed thousands of times.
TikTok user "xixsteph" or Stephany posted the above video three days ago, and it has since been viewed nearly 200,000 times. The video shows a recording of a black object hovering in the sky near Merida, Mexico, at 7:30 pm, with Stephany even zooming in on the object to reveal a unique-looking snowflake shape. Most citizen UFO videos are terrible in quality, or the focused object is extremely hard to see, but Stephany's footage is overall very smooth and high quality. But is this a UFO?
The video was posted to the /r/UFO subreddit, and the community of UFO hunters began to quickly debunk the footage while simultaneously praising its quality. Moderators categorized the video as "likely identified," with many users reporting that it's a helium balloon that has an interesting shape, with one user writing that there was a recent balloon festival happening near Merida, the vibrant capital of the Mexican state of Yucatan.
Judging by the response in /r/UFO and the fact that there was a recent balloon festival, it's likely that the object seen in the video is a snowflake-shaped balloon. More angles of the object would be needed to make any confirmation, however, the balloon seems to be the most likely explanation, especially after viewing the below video that shows a pilot getting what seems to be dangerously close to a high-altitude balloon. The balloon in the video has a colorful pattern and a pillow-like shape.
In other UFO news, Congress has changed the definition of UFO by doing so implies UFO offices are searching for objects that haven't been created by humans. Additionally, a former Navy pilot that has witnessed government-confirmed UFOs has explained his experience being in the cockpit of a fighter pilot. The former fighter pilot also explained a famous UFO "Gimbal" video that was released by the US military. More on those stories below.
