NASA's UFO study recruits astronaut Scott Kelly to help explain undefined aircraft in the skies

NASA has recruited the best of the best to unravel the mysteries of unexplained natural phenomena seen in the skies with the hopes of solving hundreds of sightings. Astronaut Scott Kelly, who is famously known for spending nearly a year in space, is one of 16 team members who will comb through unclassified data of UFOs to help the space agency'craft scientific conclusions' about what is actually occurring. The independent study is set to launch Monday and will carry on for the next nine months - the team is expected to share their findings with the public in mid-2023. The program, announced in June, follows the first US congressional hearings in 50 years that revealed videos showing 144 'unidentified aerial phenomena' seen by military personnel since 2004. The team, which includes scientists, data and artificial intelligence specialists and aerospace safety experts, will identify how data gathered by civilian government entities, commercial data, and data from other sources can potentially be analyzed to shed light on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
