Watch: NASA holds news conference on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena report

NASA's independent team commissioned to study unidentified flying objects will release a report of its findings Thursday morning ahead of a briefing.

NASA brought the panel of 16 experts together in 2022 to examine data related to UFOs, which the agency refers to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The agency cautions that the upcoming report is not a review or assessment of previous unidentifiable observations, but rather a roadmap of sorts on what possible data could be collected in the future.

Once they started off thanking each other and kisses their bosses behind I knew this was going to be a waste of everyone’s time.

To anyone reading comments before watching, save yourself a valuable hour of your life

[parsoniareigns]

NASA: We will be open and Transparent.
Reporter: Will you disclose budgetary resources toward UAP research?
NASA: No.
Reporter: Will you disclose the name of the UAP research Director?
NASA: No.
Yep, open and transparent.😅

[massivesaucer]

What about sharing the huge amounts of substantiated evidence they already have?

[WookiRahh]

Just NASA explaining how useless they are for 1 hour straight....

[shinazuma]

I’m sorry but these journalists are not asking any good questions and have essentially wasted the question time.

[raynoll]

This explains a ton. NASA can't even notice their mics are turned down and inaudible for almost 9 and a half minutes. No wonder they were like 3-5- in Space Shuttles.

[MunkyWrench]

total waste of time dont bother.. other channels turned off comments so we couldnt warn u.. the main take away is ... we need more money.. typical NASA build up and failure to launch

[eddyboh]

The correct question would be, has NASA ever before edited space mission videos during UAPs appearances?

[rhettlee]

We will be open and honest- “no we won’t give his name out”

[bayareaaa]

NASA just needs to release all photos and videos immediately. Like ripping off a band-aid rather than a slow pull. Make a 2 min video for the people to easily digest instead of an hour long conference that’s going to put people to sleep. C’mon. Edit: Jumped to the comment section and it looks the hour video is a complete waste of time.

And people wonder why science and educational videos have lost the attention of the masses. SMH

OK at 45:20 All of Nasa Data is open and public. Then he basically says unless it's classified. Then we hear that classified data is classified not because the data but because the classified devices used to measure the Data. Then 47:50 I don't speak for other departments in the Government But Nasa is open and transparent with our data. Does any one else see the conflict?

[mrmitchell]

So UFOs don't officially exist anymore but UAP might. Lovely. Could have saved an hour and had each speaker just say "meh".

[ghoulbby]

I read the 36 page report and I'll conclude it for you here: "We don't know what we don't know" That's it. This hearing and the report are completely pointless and states nothing new. We could have a craft hover over NYC, disappear in a blink of an eye breaking all known laws of physics, and the conclusion would be "we cannot say if it's extraterrestrial and lack information"... and that's it. Unless one lands, aliens walk out and allow themselves and their ship to be studied, then NASA will never say it's most likely not of this earth.

[notyou]

Notice how the term shifted from UAP to UFO when Grusch’s name was brought up. Very condescending.

[SlippingFlipping]

I am supposed to take these people's words whom I've never seen before vs. 3 decorative officers who served to risk their lives and again are putting everything on the line to disclose in the highest gov? What is wrong with these folks.

[newgods]

I do not believe nasa is about openness and transparency the way lady shook her head

[joenario]

15 mins to thank each other is such a waste of time....Give them a raise and just get to the point

[FrankdaTank]

So we spent all these tax dollars to put together a team who soo far havnt figured out anything. 😢

[ishbw]

i looked this up on several different channels and the audio is terrible on all of them lol
