Role announced after panel issued report calling on Nasa to increase efforts to examine ‘unidentified anomalous phenomenon’
Nasa on Thursday said it is naming a new director of research into what the government calls “unidentified anomalous phenomenon,” or UAP, as an expert panel urged the US space agency to increase its efforts to gather information on what are commonly called UFOs.
Nasa administrator Bill Nelson made the announcement after the panel issued a report calling on the agency to increase its efforts to gather information on UAP and play a larger role in helping the Pentagon detect them.
