“The current existing data and eyewitness reports alone are insufficient to provide conclusive evidence,” astrophysicist David Spergel, chair of the study, said in livestreamed remarks. “One of the lessons we’ve drawn is the need for more high quality data and data that is, measured with well calibrated instruments, multiple observations, and there’s a need for high quality data curation.
These are defined as “anything that is not readily understandable by the operator or the sensor,” or “something that is doing something weird.”In a presentation, Sean Kirkpatrick, director of Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution office, showed a new video of two distant dots moving back and forth on a screen, as recorded by a P3 military aircraft in the western United States, which became three dots.The P3 was unable to intercept the dots.
The agency’s posture in the past was to “debunk” such sightings—reinforcing the stigma over the hunt for alien life.
