"The study of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) presents a unique scientific opportunity that demands a rigorous, evidence-based approach," reads a portion of a new report issued by NASA's UAP Independent Study Team. "NASA – with its extensive expertise in these domains and global reputation for scientific openness – is in an excellent position to contribute to UAP studies within the broader whole-of-government framework led by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)." This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at what NASA's new report details, and get commentary from Mark Rodeghier, Ph.D, the Director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies. What new approaches can be applied toward the phenomenon, and how can past data obtained on UAP move us toward obtaining a better understanding of them?
