The highly hypothesized topic on the prospect of extraterrestrial life has blasted off and is cons news channels once again. Referred to as unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs, recent UFO sightings in Maryland have given people something to talk about. Over 1,923 UAP sightings have been reported in Maryland, attracting the government and NASA’s attention.
In a comprehensive 33-page report on the stigma and speculation around extraterrestrial life, NASA has urged individuals worldwide to trust fact and reality, not fiction. Often, alien or UAP sightings are dramatized or exaggerated, causing unnecessary emotions in many people. Without science to back up these claims, the sightings are nothing more than empty words.
As a planet in a vast galaxy, Earth may not be the only place sustaining sentient life.
“The universe is too big for us to be the only ones with life,” physics teacher Yong Kim said.
In an interview, NASA administrator Bill Nelson said that tin order to confirm extraterrestrial contact with Earth, scientific evidence must be present in anomalous observations like these.
“We want to shift the conversation about UAPs from sensationalism to science,” Nelson said.
In this past sighting, NASA has debunked the UAP claims, stating that they are false due to their lack of concrete evidence. Experts claim that supposed UAPs could be weather balloons, spacecrafts, planes or drones. If these sightings were to be backed up by evidence, UAPs could pose a threat to the U.S. Air Force.
NASA plans to implement new extraterrestrial detection technologies and advanced satellites to confirm the presence of UFOs and similar objects, or the lack thereof. They have also hired a new board director specifically for UFO investigation to further ensure the absence of news-shaking allegations.
In a galaxy far, far away, there might just be enough evidence to make those empty words, those speculations, true again.
