NASA has announced the 16 people who will study strange things happening in the sky or what we usually call UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) sightings.
The independent UFO study will start on October 24 and last nine months. It will look at “observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or as known natural phenomena.”
The team will look at non-secret information from civilian government agencies, businesses, and other places. NASA said that the results would be made public around the middle of 2023. The study will focus on how this data can examine unidentified aerial phenomena.

The UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) is a matter of concern for national security and the safety of the air, according to the space agency.
Experts in several fields, including artificial intelligence, aircraft safety, science, and data, were selected to participate in the study. Astrophysicist David Spergel served as the expedition’s leader.
