On Thursday, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released a new report on what it called an "unidentified anomalous phenomenon" (UAP), also known as unidentified flying objects or UFOs to the public at large. The US Space Agency said that it is establishing a director of UAP research in response to a proposal made by an independent study team that NASA play a bigger role in understanding UFOs.
During the press conference, questions regarding the UFO hearing in Mexico's Congress that involved the presentation of alleged non-human corpses were also directed at NASA officials. David Spergel, the former chair of the astrophysics department at Princeton University and author of the UAP report, stated he was unsure of the samples' nature but encouraged transparency.
"This is something that I have only seen on Twitter. When you have unusual things, you want to make the data public," Mr Spergel said.
"We don't know the nature of those samples," he added.
"If you have something strange, make samples available to the scientific community," he told the Mexican government.
On the very last page of the report, it was stated that there was "no reason to conclude" that the hundreds of UAP sightings that NASA had looked at were caused by extraterrestrial sources.
"However, if we acknowledge that as one possibility, then those objects must have travelled through our solar system to get here," the report said.
NASA did not rule out the idea of "potential unknown alien technology operating in Earth's atmosphere" even though the report did not reach the conclusion of the existence of extraterrestrial life.
