there really isn’t enough information to evaluate what is going on. Thomas Bania: Do any of us believe these are actual flying saucers from outer space? No. All I’m saying is that if a foreign power developed technology, then later on we’d see technology like that from them, either in operation or testing. I can’t comment on whether they’re UFOs or not, because I don’t want to look like a kook, to be blunt. That never materialized later into a foreign nation having a capability like that. The UFO sightings dating back into the ’50s and ’60s were never technology that we were able to see later on from a foreign power. My concern with the report is that stated it could be a foreign power’s technology. did we track something that we thought was a UFO. I never flew for the Air Force-I was a nuclear and space guy. Jack Weinstein: I have no expertise in UFOs except for watching Men in Black. Q &A With Thomas Bania and Jack Weinstein BU Today: Any doubts about the government’s reported conclusion that the recent sightings aren’t extraterrestrials? (“Carl Sagan…owes me money,” he says, a debt he knows he won’t collect, as his celebrity colleague died in 1996.)īania and Jack Weinstein, a Pardee School of Global Studies professor of the practice of international security and a retired Air Force lieutenant general, offered their takes on the government’s conclusions for BU Today. He researches the possibility of life elsewhere, along with many in his field. UFOs aren’t just the playpen of conspiracy theorists and sci-fi fans: NASA awards grants to reputable scientists seeking real-life ETs, and we’ve been scanning the heavens for signs of artificial signals for decades, says Thomas Bania, a College of Arts & Sciences professor of astronomy.
The investigation followed sightings and videos recorded in recent years, by fighter aircraft instruments and pilots’ naked eyes, of objects flying at seemingly impossible speed and doing seemingly impossible maneuvers. So concludes a forthcoming US government report, whose broad findings leaked earlier this month, on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), the current, less X-Files–sounding term for UFOs. It could, however, be a foreign power’s technology. Who’s to say?Īt least we’ll be a little more informed once that report makes its way to Congress.The truth is out there, but for now, it doesn’t involve extraterrestrial visitors. Or maybe, just maybe, our encounters with the paranormal are shaped by our cultural values. Perhaps omniscient, otherworldly aliens share a deep fascination with the excesses of American culture, similar to the way in which hardcore anime fans fetishize Japan. Ratcliffe is correct - but looking at Esri’s animated map, which visualizes the data from a century of reported UFO sightings, it is clear that the vast, vast majority of alleged encounters with extraterrestrials have occurred in the United States.
They’re unexplained phenomenon, and there’s actually quite a few more than have been made public.” Multiple sensors that are picking up these things. all over the world, there have been sightings all over the world. On Fox News, when asked where the unidentified phenomena were sighted, Ratcliffe replied: But the answer might be a little closer to home than we thought. Hence, in early June, the public will be offered an official explanation regarding UFOs - or perhaps the report will merely amount to a resounding shrug, deepening the mystery.

To add to that, in January 2021, thousands of CIA documents on unidentified flying objects were released, in a massive document dump that the agency claims includes all their records on UFOs.Īnd, of course, the launching of the “Space Force,” an idea so silly that Netflix created a mediocre comedy series based on the concept, only fueled more speculation. The Facebook event "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us" (which proved amusing, but anti-climatic) as well as the series of randomly placed art installations known as the “ mysterious monoliths” have also helped propel alien abduction mythos into the public imagination.
