00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:12,479 whistleblowers behind the scenes we've 44 00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:14,220 heard about that we've heard about this 45 00:05:21,770 --> 00:05:17,940 closure for 2023 Labor Day Thanksgiving 46 00:05:24,409 --> 00:05:21,780 the end of the year I don't know 47 00:05:27,710 --> 00:05:24,419 um I think stuff will happen and if that 48 00:05:29,870 --> 00:05:27,720 article

but as far as I know right 56 00:05:54,890 --> 00:05:52,740 now after the work of Mick West did 57 00:05:57,529 --> 00:05:54,900 comparing two videos it looks like a 58 00:06:00,170 --> 00:05:57,539 flares case but 59 00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:00,180 I'm glad Jeremy Jeremy Corbell was able 60 00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:02,400 to let the Marines have their say and 61 00:06:06,529 --> 00:06:04,560 and

I have a few opening remarks but to 80 00:06:50,270 --> 00:06:49,319 begin I'd like to start with the 81 00:06:52,490 --> 00:06:50,280 following 82 00:06:54,529 --> 00:06:52,500 first I'd like to pay tribute to the 83 00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:54,539 life of retired Air Force Master 84 00:06:58,850 --> 00:06:57,120 Sergeant Sam Sato who's been laid to 85 00:06:59,870 --> 00:06:58,860 rest at Arlington National Cemetery 86 00:07:02,330 --> 00:06:59,880 today 87 00:07:04,249 --> 00:07:02,340 following his active duty service Sam 88 00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:04,259 served as the intelligence

in UAP analysis all of us 92 00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:14,460 at Nasa offer our condolences to Sam's 93 00:07:20,089 --> 00:07:17,759 family friends and colleagues 94 00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:20,099 second I'd like to take this opportunity 95 00:07:24,650 --> 00:07:22,740 to express my profound gratitude to our 96 00:07:27,890 --> 00:07:24,660 distinguished panel of experts for their 97 00:07:30,170 --> 00:07:27,900 unwavering commitment and dedication 98 00:07:32,089 --> 00:07:30,180 it's disheartening to note that several 99 00:07:34,490 --> 00:07:32,099 of them have been subjected to online 100 00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:34,500 abuse due to their decision to 101 00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:36,900 participate on this panel a NASA 102 00:07:39,950 --> 00:07:38,880 security team is actively addressing 103 00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:39,960 this issue 104 00:07:45,529 --> 00:07:43,139 we at Nasa are acutely aware of the 105 00:07:48,290 --> 00:07:45,539 considerable public interest in UAP 106 00:07:50,089 --> 00:07:48,300 however it's critical to understand any 107 00:07:52,129 --> 00:07:50,099 form of harassment towards our panelists 108 00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:52,139 only serves to detract from the 109 00:07:57,409 --> 00:07:54,240 scientific process which requires an 110 00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,419 environment of respect and openness 111 00:08:01,610 --> 00:07:59,759 now every member of our team is a 112 00:08:03,890 --> 00:08:01,620 recognized Authority in their respective 113 00:08:06,890 --> 00:08:03,900 field and they have our unequivocal 114 00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:06,900 support NASA stands in solidarity with 115 00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:09,180 them advocating for a respectful 116 00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:11,460 discourse that befits their expertise 117 00:08:15,230 --> 00:08:13,500 and the significance of their work 118 00:08:17,930 --> 00:08:15,240 thanks 119 00:08:20,570 --> 00:08:17,940 now in recent years the subjects of 120 00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:20,580 unidentified aerial phenomena nowadays 121 00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:22,860 termed unidentified anomalous phenomena 122 00:08:28,610 --> 00:08:25,680 or uaps has captured the attention of 123 00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:28,620 the public the scientific community and 124 00:08:33,409 --> 00:08:31,020 the government alike and it's now our 125 00:08:35,570 --> 00:08:33,419 Collective responsibility to investigate 126 00:08:39,409 --> 00:08:35,580 these occurrences with the rigorous 127 00:08:42,110 --> 00:08:39,419 scientific scrutiny that they deserve 128 00:08:44,449 --> 00:08:42,120 NASA administrator sent us a Bill Nelson 129 00:08:46,970 --> 00:08:44,459 believes that understanding uaps is 130 00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:46,980 vital for several reasons which is why 131 00:08:51,050 --> 00:08:48,720 he directed this study 132 00:08:53,690 --> 00:08:51,060 first and foremost it provides an 133 00:08:56,030 --> 00:08:53,700 opportunity for us to expand our 134 00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,040 understanding of the world around us 135 00:09:01,310 --> 00:08:58,560 as an organization dedicated to 136 00:09:03,230 --> 00:09:01,320 exploring the unknown this work is in 137 00:09:05,690 --> 00:09:03,240 our DNA 138 00:09:08,269 --> 00:09:05,700 secondly this study aims to enhance 139 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:08,279 situational awareness the presence of 140 00:09:13,310 --> 00:09:11,279 uaps raises concerns about the safety of 141 00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:13,320 our skies and it's this nation's 142 00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:15,540 obligation to determine whether these 143 00:09:19,790 --> 00:09:18,240 phenomena pose any potential risks to 144 00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:19,800 airspace safety 145 00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:22,740 by understanding the nature of uaps we 146 00:09:27,230 --> 00:09:25,260 can ensure that our skies remain a safe 147 00:09:29,810 --> 00:09:27,240 space for all 148 00:09:32,329 --> 00:09:29,820 in order to achieve these goals it is 149 00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:32,339 crucial that we employ a scientific lens 150 00:09:38,509 --> 00:09:35,880 for our UAP work it's precisely this 151 00:09:42,050 --> 00:09:38,519 rigorous evidence-based approach that 152 00:09:45,230 --> 00:09:42,060 allows one to separate fact from fiction 153 00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:45,240 this team is comprised of experts from 154 00:09:49,970 --> 00:09:47,940 various disciplines which allows them to 155 00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:49,980 approach this work from multiple 156 00:09:53,690 --> 00:09:51,120 perspective 157 00:09:55,610 --> 00:09:53,700 and we have greatly benefited from that 158 00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:55,620 Collective expertise 159 00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:58,560 now why do we value a scientific 160 00:10:03,650 --> 00:10:00,720 approach it's because science is built 161 00:10:05,650 --> 00:10:03,660 on evidence it thrives on scrutiny it 162 00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:05,660 demands reproduce 163 00:10:12,290 --> 00:10:09,660 reproducibility account sorry and above 164 00:10:14,269 --> 00:10:12,300 all objectivity when we approach uaps 165 00:10:16,070 --> 00:10:14,279 from a scientific perspective we do not 166 00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:16,080 come in with an agenda we come in 167 00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:18,420 needing a roadmap indeed the primary 168 00:10:22,490 --> 00:10:20,399 objective of this incredible team of 169 00:10:25,009 --> 00:10:22,500 experts is not to go back and look at 170 00:10:27,470 --> 00:10:25,019 grainy footage of uaps but rather to 171 00:10:30,110 --> 00:10:27,480 give us a roadmap to guide us for future 172 00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:30,120 analysis and this is the very scientific 173 00:10:35,930 --> 00:10:33,600 method that NASA holds true to its heart 174 00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:35,940 scientific research is intended to be 175 00:10:41,690 --> 00:10:38,880 publicly available and transparent a 176 00:10:44,329 --> 00:10:41,700 NASA Prides itself on making its data 177 00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:44,339 and images available to the public to 178 00:10:49,310 --> 00:10:47,279 learn and explore on their own by 179 00:10:51,889 --> 00:10:49,320 holding public meetings like this one we 180 00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:51,899 aim for open and honest dialogue with 181 00:10:57,050 --> 00:10:54,240 the public we recognize that public 182 00:10:58,569 --> 00:10:57,060 interest in uaps is high and that the 183 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:58,579 demand for answers is strong 184 00:11:03,230 --> 00:11:01,200 conversations like this one are the 185 00:11:05,329 --> 00:11:03,240 first step to reducing the stigma 186 00:11:07,610 --> 00:11:05,339 surrounding UAP reporting 187 00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:07,620 moreover transparency is essential for 188 00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:10,079 fostering trust between NASA the public 189 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:12,480 and the scientific community 190 00:11:17,930 --> 00:11:15,120 in order to do things right we must work 191 00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:17,940 together pulling our resources our 192 00:11:22,370 --> 00:11:21,120 knowledge and our expertise and by 193 00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:22,380 maintaining open channels of 194 00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:24,360 communication we can facilitate 195 00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:26,640 collaboration encourage the exchange of 196 00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:29,220 ideas and ensure that our work is as 197 00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:30,959 robust as possible 198 00:11:34,850 --> 00:11:32,399 not only that 199 00:11:37,730 --> 00:11:34,860 our commitment to openness is in itself 200 00:11:39,410 --> 00:11:37,740 a reflection of NASA's commitment to 201 00:11:41,569 --> 00:11:39,420 Scientific integrity 202 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:41,579 there's an organization dedicated to the 203 00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:43,920 pursuit of knowledge it is NASA's 204 00:11:48,350 --> 00:11:46,620 responsibility to be honest and 205 00:11:49,130 --> 00:11:48,360 forthright and to and to follow the 206 00:11:51,410 --> 00:11:49,140 science 207 00:11:53,449 --> 00:11:51,420 and by being transparent in our work we 208 00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:53,459 uphold our dedication to Scientific 209 00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:54,839 excellence 210 00:11:58,970 --> 00:11:57,060 the meeting today represents the first 211 00:12:01,310 --> 00:11:58,980 deliberative actions that the team has 212 00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:01,320 taken and so it's important to keep in 213 00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:03,600 mind that they still have several months 214 00:12:08,090 --> 00:12:06,240 of work ahead of them their final report 215 00:12:09,949 --> 00:12:08,100 will be released this summer and we will 216 00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:09,959 publish it on our website 217 00:12:14,769 --> 00:12:12,720 NASA believes that the study of 218 00:12:17,810 --> 00:12:14,779 unidentified anomalous phenomena 219 00:12:20,210 --> 00:12:17,820 represents an exciting step forward in 220 00:12:22,670 --> 00:12:20,220 our quest to uncover the mysteries of 221 00:12:24,829 --> 00:12:22,680 the world around us by embracing a 222 00:12:27,230 --> 00:12:24,839 scientific lens we ensure that our work 223 00:12:29,810 --> 00:12:27,240 is rigorous and reliable and by valuing 224 00:12:32,509 --> 00:12:29,820 transparency and openness we can foster 225 00:12:36,050 --> 00:12:32,519 trust and collaboration with the public 226 00:12:38,750 --> 00:12:36,060 simply put this is why we do what we do 227 00:12:41,090 --> 00:12:38,760 now before I introduce Nikki there are a 228 00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:41,100 few administrative matters to attend to 229 00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:43,260 firstly the identified anomalous 230 00:12:47,509 --> 00:12:45,480 phenomena independent study team has 231 00:12:49,490 --> 00:12:47,519 been established in accordance with the 232 00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:49,500 federal advisory committee act known as 233 00:12:54,769 --> 00:12:51,839 fako its parent committee is the earth 234 00:12:56,090 --> 00:12:54,779 science advisory committees as such this 235 00:12:58,430 --> 00:12:56,100 group does not report to the government 236 00:12:59,690 --> 00:12:58,440 it reports to the earth science advisory 237 00:13:01,850 --> 00:12:59,700 committee who'll debate the 238 00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:01,860 recommendations and formally transmit 239 00:13:06,050 --> 00:13:03,959 this team's report to the government 240 00:13:08,569 --> 00:13:06,060 next our deliberative committee meetings 241 00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:08,579 such as this one are open to the public 242 00:13:13,129 --> 00:13:11,100 and also after this panel was convened 243 00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:13,139 the National Defense authorization act 244 00:13:17,810 --> 00:13:16,260 known as the ndaa changed the a in UAP 245 00:13:20,030 --> 00:13:17,820 to be anomalous 246 00:13:23,870 --> 00:13:20,040 accordingly this Pals remit was expanded 247 00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:23,880 to Encompass not just aerial UAP 248 00:13:28,430 --> 00:13:25,980 however the majority of UAP sightings to 249 00:13:30,590 --> 00:13:28,440 date have been in the aerial domain so 250 00:13:33,610 --> 00:13:30,600 it's fair to say that this panel's focus 251 00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:33,620 is on the aerial aspect of anomalous 252 00:13:37,970 --> 00:13:36,300 now in compliance with the fact of 253 00:13:39,170 --> 00:13:37,980 federal statute four more minutes have 254 00:13:41,690 --> 00:13:39,180 been taken throughout the meeting today 255 00:13:43,550 --> 00:13:41,700 and these meetings and these minutes are 256 00:13:45,829 --> 00:13:43,560 for the public record and hence all 257 00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:45,839 presentations and discussions and 258 00:13:50,449 --> 00:13:47,760 comments by the committee members should 259 00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:50,459 be considered to be on the record 260 00:13:54,889 --> 00:13:53,040 each member of this UAP study team has 261 00:13:57,050 --> 00:13:54,899 been appointed because of their specific 262 00:14:00,170 --> 00:13:57,060 subject matter expertise as individuals 263 00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:00,180 and hence each member is subject to 264 00:14:04,069 --> 00:14:02,220 Federal ethics laws 265 00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:04,079 this category of appointment is called 266 00:14:08,750 --> 00:14:06,899 special government employees or sges for 267 00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:08,760 our non-government members and our two 268 00:14:12,110 --> 00:14:10,079 federal employees 269 00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:12,120 serve as regular government employees 270 00:14:16,850 --> 00:14:14,880 known as rges to the panel 271 00:14:19,490 --> 00:14:16,860 all members on this committee should 272 00:14:22,190 --> 00:14:19,500 remember to recuse themselves if a topic 273 00:14:23,870 --> 00:14:22,200 comes up in which you have a potential 274 00:14:25,610 --> 00:14:23,880 conflict of interest between your 275 00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:25,620 financial interests including those of 276 00:14:29,210 --> 00:14:26,880 your employer 277 00:14:30,889 --> 00:14:29,220 and matters that we're discussing and 278 00:14:32,449 --> 00:14:30,899 then finally panel if you have any 279 00:14:34,910 --> 00:14:32,459 ethics questions please see me 280 00:14:37,970 --> 00:14:34,920 separately and if needed I'll put you in 281 00:14:39,949 --> 00:14:37,980 contact with a NASA ethics attorney 282 00:14:41,650 --> 00:14:39,959 thanks for bearing with me I'd now like 283 00:14:43,850 --> 00:14:41,660 to turn to the amazing Dr Nikki Fox 284 00:14:45,470 --> 00:14:43,860 associate administrator for NASA's 285 00:14:51,949 --> 00:14:45,480 science Mission director over to you 286 00:14:57,889 --> 00:14:54,829 thank you Dan and thank you to all the 287 00:15:00,590 --> 00:14:57,899 members of NASA's UAP independent study 288 00:15:02,990 --> 00:15:00,600 team your selfless dedication to the 289 00:15:05,629 --> 00:15:03,000 pursuit of knowledge is just so 290 00:15:07,850 --> 00:15:05,639 commendable and I want to thank you the 291 00:15:10,250 --> 00:15:07,860 audience for tuning in today to watch 292 00:15:13,129 --> 00:15:10,260 our first deliberative meeting of NASA's 293 00:15:15,829 --> 00:15:13,139 independent study team on evaluating and 294 00:15:17,150 --> 00:15:15,839 categorizing unidentified anomalous 295 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,160 phenomena 296 00:15:22,610 --> 00:15:19,440 before I begin though I really do want 297 00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:22,620 to double down on Dan's words that it is 298 00:15:26,750 --> 00:15:24,480 really disheartening to hear of the 299 00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:26,760 harassment that our panelists have faced 300 00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:29,040 online all because they're studying this 301 00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:30,000 topic 302 00:15:35,449 --> 00:15:32,639 NASA stands behind our panelists and we 303 00:15:37,550 --> 00:15:35,459 do not tolerate abuse harassment only 304 00:15:40,490 --> 00:15:37,560 leads to further stigmatization of the 305 00:15:42,590 --> 00:15:40,500 UAP field significantly hindering the 306 00:15:44,870 --> 00:15:42,600 scientific progress and discouraging 307 00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:44,880 others to study this important subject 308 00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:46,079 matter 309 00:15:49,970 --> 00:15:48,180 your harassment also obstructs the 310 00:15:52,250 --> 00:15:49,980 Public's right to knowledge our 311 00:15:54,410 --> 00:15:52,260 panelists are leading experts in the 312 00:15:57,530 --> 00:15:54,420 scientific Aeronautics and data 313 00:15:59,689 --> 00:15:57,540 analytics communities we are very lucky 314 00:16:02,030 --> 00:15:59,699 to have them on board to share their 315 00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:02,040 invaluable insights to inform NASA on 316 00:16:06,650 --> 00:16:04,440 what possible data could be collected in 317 00:16:09,769 --> 00:16:06,660 the future and how it can be collected 318 00:16:11,750 --> 00:16:09,779 to help us better understand the nature 319 00:16:13,550 --> 00:16:11,760 of UAP 320 00:16:16,250 --> 00:16:13,560 the UAP independent study was 321 00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:16,260 commissioned to create a road map on how 322 00:16:21,829 --> 00:16:18,779 to use the tools of science to evaluate 323 00:16:24,410 --> 00:16:21,839 and categorize the nature of uaps going 324 00:16:26,509 --> 00:16:24,420 forward this roadmap of course will help 325 00:16:29,210 --> 00:16:26,519 the federal government obtain usable 326 00:16:30,910 --> 00:16:29,220 data to explain the nature of future 327 00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:30,920 uaps 328 00:16:36,050 --> 00:16:33,540 transparency openness and scientific 329 00:16:38,329 --> 00:16:36,060 Integrity are Pinnacle to NASA's Mission 330 00:16:40,490 --> 00:16:38,339 they're at the Forefront of this public 331 00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:40,500 meeting and have been throughout the 332 00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:43,500 team's seven months on this study 333 00:16:47,569 --> 00:16:45,600 as Dan noted this is a working meeting 334 00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:47,579 and so the public will have the 335 00:16:52,850 --> 00:16:50,160 incredible opportunity to witness the 336 00:16:55,310 --> 00:16:52,860 process of Science in action 337 00:16:57,710 --> 00:16:55,320 at Nasa we lead the world in Exploration 338 00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:57,720 and are committed to rigorous scientific 339 00:17:01,189 --> 00:16:59,279 inquiry 340 00:17:03,530 --> 00:17:01,199 the nature of science is to better 341 00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:03,540 understand the unknown and to do that 342 00:17:08,449 --> 00:17:06,240 our scientists need data 343 00:17:10,909 --> 00:17:08,459 right now there is very limited number 344 00:17:13,309 --> 00:17:10,919 of high quality observations and data 345 00:17:15,289 --> 00:17:13,319 curation of UAP 346 00:17:17,809 --> 00:17:15,299 the existing data available from 347 00:17:19,850 --> 00:17:17,819 eyewitness reports are often modeled and 348 00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:19,860 cannot provide conclusive evidence that 349 00:17:25,789 --> 00:17:23,520 supports UAP recognition and Analysis 350 00:17:28,010 --> 00:17:25,799 additionally an object's background can 351 00:17:31,010 --> 00:17:28,020 complicate the data further and render 352 00:17:32,810 --> 00:17:31,020 it unusable due to Conventional objects 353 00:17:34,909 --> 00:17:32,820 that can mimic or overshadow the 354 00:17:37,730 --> 00:17:34,919 phenomena completely such as commercial 355 00:17:41,690 --> 00:17:37,740 aircraft military equipment the weather 356 00:17:44,270 --> 00:17:41,700 and ionospheric phenomena like auroras 357 00:17:45,770 --> 00:17:44,280 this lack of high quality data make it 358 00:17:49,250 --> 00:17:45,780 impossible to draw scientific 359 00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:49,260 conclusions on the nature of UAP 360 00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:51,840 now this team has used unclassified data 361 00:17:56,330 --> 00:17:53,520 from civilian government entities 362 00:17:58,370 --> 00:17:56,340 commercial data and data from other 363 00:18:00,590 --> 00:17:58,380 sources to inform uh their 364 00:18:02,510 --> 00:18:00,600 recommendations and as Dan noted they 365 00:18:04,730 --> 00:18:02,520 will be published in a public report 366 00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:04,740 that comes out this summer 367 00:18:08,750 --> 00:18:06,480 I want to emphasize that there is really 368 00:18:11,150 --> 00:18:08,760 great benefit to studying unclassified 369 00:18:12,529 --> 00:18:11,160 data rather than classified data for 370 00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:12,539 this study 371 00:18:17,210 --> 00:18:15,360 first unidentified anomalous phenomena 372 00:18:19,730 --> 00:18:17,220 sightings themselves are not classified 373 00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:19,740 it's often the sensor platform that is 374 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:21,360 classified and you can kind of think of 375 00:18:26,750 --> 00:18:24,720 it if a fighter jet took a picture of 376 00:18:28,970 --> 00:18:26,760 the Statue of Liberty then that image 377 00:18:30,770 --> 00:18:28,980 would be classified not because of the 378 00:18:32,690 --> 00:18:30,780 subject in the picture but because of 379 00:18:34,850 --> 00:18:32,700 the sensors on the plane 380 00:18:36,529 --> 00:18:34,860 second unclassified data that make it 381 00:18:39,230 --> 00:18:36,539 possible for our team to communicate 382 00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:39,240 openly to advance our understanding of 383 00:18:44,390 --> 00:18:42,299 UAP not only with each other but across 384 00:18:45,409 --> 00:18:44,400 the scientific community and to the 385 00:18:48,110 --> 00:18:45,419 public 386 00:18:50,270 --> 00:18:48,120 this ensures a clear and transparent 387 00:18:52,250 --> 00:18:50,280 pipeline of information that can be 388 00:18:55,970 --> 00:18:52,260 built upon through the general through 389 00:18:58,130 --> 00:18:55,980 generations to expand our understanding 390 00:19:01,310 --> 00:18:58,140 this study relies on open data 391 00:19:03,710 --> 00:19:01,320 everything we use at Nasa is open and 392 00:19:05,930 --> 00:19:03,720 anyone can look at these records so I 393 00:19:07,090 --> 00:19:05,940 invite you to visit our open data portal 394 00:19:15,529 --> 00:19:07,100 at 395 00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:15,539 and fully accessible to the public 396 00:19:22,430 --> 00:19:18,480 additionally please check out data.gov 397 00:19:24,529 --> 00:19:22,440 open slash data for a great overview of 398 00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:24,539 where you can find the archives for our 399 00:19:29,090 --> 00:19:26,880 science and Mission data sites 400 00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:29,100 I am very very much looking forward to 401 00:19:33,049 --> 00:19:31,080 hearing the deliberations put forth 402 00:19:35,870 --> 00:19:33,059 today from our distinguished panel of 403 00:19:37,730 --> 00:19:35,880 experts thank you so much for being here 404 00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:37,740 thank you Dr Fox 405 00:19:41,330 --> 00:19:39,120 um before you've got a little just want 406 00:19:44,270 --> 00:19:41,340 to open up to questions let me start 407 00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:44,280 with uh a question on this oh on the 408 00:19:48,650 --> 00:19:45,720 NASA data 409 00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:48,660 um I think one of the important things 410 00:19:52,850 --> 00:19:50,160 um that we'll be looking at with other 411 00:19:55,250 --> 00:19:52,860 data sets and events is the data is not 412 00:19:56,810 --> 00:19:55,260 very well calibrated can you say just a 413 00:19:58,370 --> 00:19:56,820 little bit about how NASA goes through 414 00:20:01,970 --> 00:19:58,380 calibrating some of its earth science 415 00:20:04,190 --> 00:20:01,980 data oh yes we very very rigorous um us 416 00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:04,200 I mean all of our data sets not just 417 00:20:08,210 --> 00:20:05,700 earth science go through extremely 418 00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:08,220 rigorous calibration 419 00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:10,320 um we don't release anything until it's 420 00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:12,240 really perfect I mean we have quick look 421 00:20:17,150 --> 00:20:15,360 data that is marked as quick look data 422 00:20:20,330 --> 00:20:17,160 um so you know you can use it to get 423 00:20:22,909 --> 00:20:20,340 preliminary findings but wait for the 424 00:20:26,930 --> 00:20:22,919 the really nicely cleaned up data so I 425 00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:26,940 uh a lot of rigorous protocol in putting 426 00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:30,080 out our data to make sure it is perfect 427 00:20:35,690 --> 00:20:32,640 do we have any other questions from the 428 00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:49,909 all right thank you so much 429 00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:56,870 foreign 430 00:21:01,070 --> 00:20:59,210 and when I look at our chart we have a 431 00:21:04,370 --> 00:21:01,080 lengthy charge but at the high level 432 00:21:08,090 --> 00:21:04,380 summary of it is how can NASA contribute 433 00:21:09,770 --> 00:21:08,100 to understanding the nature of uaps 434 00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:09,780 and our role here 435 00:21:14,750 --> 00:21:12,000 is not to resolve the nature of these 436 00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:14,760 events but rather to give NASA guidance 437 00:21:19,789 --> 00:21:17,039 to provide a roadmap of how it can 438 00:21:21,470 --> 00:21:19,799 contribute in this area 439 00:21:23,870 --> 00:21:21,480 after 440 00:21:27,230 --> 00:21:23,880 my opening remarks we'll hear from Sean 441 00:21:29,390 --> 00:21:27,240 Kirkpatrick from the aaro and it's the 442 00:21:32,029 --> 00:21:29,400 aaro that's charged with leading the 443 00:21:34,190 --> 00:21:32,039 whole of government UAP effort 444 00:21:35,810 --> 00:21:34,200 and they've already issued some 445 00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:35,820 preliminary reports on some of the 446 00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:37,140 events 447 00:21:42,770 --> 00:21:39,840 NASA's role is to use its unique 448 00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:42,780 capabilities and its role as a civilian 449 00:21:47,810 --> 00:21:45,360 agency interacting with the scientific 450 00:21:49,549 --> 00:21:47,820 community in an open and transparent 451 00:21:53,450 --> 00:21:49,559 manner 452 00:21:56,090 --> 00:21:53,460 and you know as Dr Fox emphasized the 453 00:21:57,169 --> 00:21:56,100 defense and intelligence agency data on 454 00:21:59,930 --> 00:21:57,179 UAP 455 00:22:02,810 --> 00:21:59,940 and are often classified primarily 456 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,820 because of how the data is collected not 457 00:22:07,490 --> 00:22:04,559 because what's in the data 458 00:22:10,610 --> 00:22:07,500 the camera on an F-35 took a picture of 459 00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:10,620 a bird it's classified if a spy 460 00:22:16,010 --> 00:22:13,260 satellite takes an image of a balloon 461 00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:16,020 and we've had in the news some balloons 462 00:22:20,990 --> 00:22:18,960 recently that date is classified 463 00:22:22,010 --> 00:22:21,000 and that's because of a desire to not 464 00:22:24,590 --> 00:22:22,020 reveal 465 00:22:26,450 --> 00:22:24,600 all technical capabilities to other 466 00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:26,460 nations 467 00:22:30,590 --> 00:22:28,740 NASA on the other hand operates in a 468 00:22:31,490 --> 00:22:30,600 mode where it's collecting data in the 469 00:22:33,649 --> 00:22:31,500 open 470 00:22:36,770 --> 00:22:33,659 and the NASA data is available on 471 00:22:39,470 --> 00:22:36,780 websites and is well characterized and 472 00:22:43,010 --> 00:22:39,480 because of NASA being the civilian 473 00:22:44,570 --> 00:22:43,020 agency studying Air and Space it has a 474 00:22:48,169 --> 00:22:44,580 special role to play 475 00:22:50,930 --> 00:22:48,179 and I see our charge primarily as 476 00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:50,940 helping identify for NASA ways it could 477 00:22:56,029 --> 00:22:53,340 play that role and contribute to 478 00:22:59,690 --> 00:22:58,250 we've gone through a preliminary data 479 00:23:02,270 --> 00:22:59,700 collection stage 480 00:23:03,529 --> 00:23:02,280 and to summarize some of the things that 481 00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:03,539 we've learned 482 00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:05,760 the current data collection efforts 483 00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:08,400 regarding uaps are unsystematic 484 00:23:14,450 --> 00:23:11,360 and fragmented across various agencies 485 00:23:17,330 --> 00:23:14,460 often using instruments uncalibrated for 486 00:23:20,090 --> 00:23:17,340 scientific data collection 487 00:23:22,130 --> 00:23:20,100 and if I think about the data that 488 00:23:23,810 --> 00:23:22,140 people have out there it's in many ways 489 00:23:26,930 --> 00:23:23,820 what we'd like to think of as citizen 490 00:23:28,669 --> 00:23:26,940 science but again it is uncalibrated 491 00:23:33,049 --> 00:23:28,679 Data 492 00:23:36,169 --> 00:23:33,059 um poorly characterized not well curated 493 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:36,179 and we face looking through this data a 494 00:23:41,630 --> 00:23:39,120 significant background a background of 495 00:23:44,510 --> 00:23:41,640 many of these events are commercial 496 00:23:47,870 --> 00:23:44,520 aircraft civilian America military 497 00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:47,880 drones weather and research balloons 498 00:23:54,490 --> 00:23:50,640 military equipment ionospheric 499 00:23:56,930 --> 00:23:54,500 phenomenon we need to characterize how 500 00:24:01,070 --> 00:23:56,940 when the date when the date is taken 501 00:24:03,169 --> 00:24:01,080 when it sees events like this first 502 00:24:06,350 --> 00:24:03,179 the current existing data and eyewitness 503 00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:06,360 reports alone are insufficient to 504 00:24:10,490 --> 00:24:08,159 provide conclusive evidence about the 505 00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:10,500 nature and origin of of every UAP event 506 00:24:17,210 --> 00:24:13,679 they're often uninformative due to lack 507 00:24:19,730 --> 00:24:17,220 of quality control and data curation 508 00:24:22,310 --> 00:24:19,740 to understand UAP better 509 00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:22,320 targeted data collection 510 00:24:27,230 --> 00:24:24,960 thorough data curation and robust 511 00:24:29,649 --> 00:24:27,240 analyzes are needed 512 00:24:32,330 --> 00:24:29,659 such an approach will help to discern 513 00:24:34,610 --> 00:24:32,340 unexplained UAP sightings 514 00:24:37,789 --> 00:24:34,620 but even then there's no guarantee that 515 00:24:39,950 --> 00:24:37,799 all sightings will be explained 516 00:24:41,930 --> 00:24:39,960 another challenge in this area is what 517 00:24:44,810 --> 00:24:41,940 we call stigma there's a real stigma 518 00:24:47,690 --> 00:24:44,820 among people reporting events 519 00:24:49,250 --> 00:24:47,700 and despite NASA's extensive efforts to 520 00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:49,260 reduce the stigma 521 00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:53,000 the origin of the uaps remain unclear 522 00:24:59,210 --> 00:24:56,280 and we feel many events remain 523 00:25:01,130 --> 00:24:59,220 unreported commercial pilots for example 524 00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:01,140 are very reluctant 525 00:25:08,270 --> 00:25:05,280 to report anomalies and one of our goals 526 00:25:11,270 --> 00:25:08,280 in having NASA play a role is to remove 527 00:25:14,270 --> 00:25:11,280 stigma and 528 00:25:17,630 --> 00:25:14,280 get high quality data 529 00:25:20,690 --> 00:25:17,640 um in fact if I were to summarize 530 00:25:24,769 --> 00:25:20,700 in one line what I feel we've learned 531 00:25:27,710 --> 00:25:24,779 it's we need high quality data and this 532 00:25:30,950 --> 00:25:27,720 is not some as a research scientist 533 00:25:32,269 --> 00:25:30,960 whose work has been primarily focused in 534 00:25:35,630 --> 00:25:32,279 cosmology 535 00:25:37,789 --> 00:25:35,640 I would say the lesson of my career has 536 00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:37,799 been you want to address important 537 00:25:43,669 --> 00:25:40,320 questions you need high quality data 538 00:25:46,010 --> 00:25:43,679 with well-calibrated instruments 539 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:46,020 so the let me now 540 00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:48,480 uh introduce the agenda 541 00:25:52,730 --> 00:25:50,640 we're going to hear from a number of 542 00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:52,740 experts who will be presenting up to 543 00:25:58,490 --> 00:25:54,000 lunch 544 00:26:00,830 --> 00:25:58,500 to 12 30. 545 00:26:03,769 --> 00:26:00,840 at 12 30 we'll resume 546 00:26:06,649 --> 00:26:03,779 and we'll have presentations by members 547 00:26:10,370 --> 00:26:06,659 of the panel on some preliminary ideas 548 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:10,380 for discussion and that will be a period 549 00:26:13,549 --> 00:26:12,240 of time for some open discussion by the 550 00:26:16,430 --> 00:26:13,559 panel 551 00:26:18,710 --> 00:26:16,440 we will then have a q a session based on 552 00:26:21,470 --> 00:26:18,720 questions that have been sent in in 553 00:26:23,390 --> 00:26:21,480 advance uh to the website and we've 554 00:26:25,549 --> 00:26:23,400 curated those questions and grouped them 555 00:26:27,409 --> 00:26:25,559 together and we'll be going through a 556 00:26:29,149 --> 00:26:27,419 lot of those questions and then we'll 557 00:26:32,990 --> 00:26:29,159 summarize 558 00:26:35,570 --> 00:26:33,000 and then over the subsequent uh couple 559 00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:35,580 months we'll work on putting together 560 00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,340 the report and as Dan said we're aiming 561 00:26:43,190 --> 00:26:40,799 to make a public report available we 562 00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:43,200 hope by the end of July 563 00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:46,740 so uh now let me turn this over to Sean 564 00:26:50,990 --> 00:26:49,260 Uncle Patrick oh hang on wait we'll do a 565 00:26:53,149 --> 00:26:51,000 couple q and A's probably some Q A's for 566 00:26:55,310 --> 00:26:53,159 me okay from the panel any any questions 567 00:27:05,210 --> 00:26:55,320 on the panel 568 00:27:09,769 --> 00:27:06,169 yeah 569 00:27:12,769 --> 00:27:09,779 um so one of the things I think Dr Fox 570 00:27:15,169 --> 00:27:12,779 um said was looking at the release of 571 00:27:18,049 --> 00:27:15,179 data very important for our study when 572 00:27:21,230 --> 00:27:18,059 it's high quality and you have also 573 00:27:23,570 --> 00:27:21,240 commented that data are not always 574 00:27:25,970 --> 00:27:23,580 perfect when we're doing certain studies 575 00:27:29,330 --> 00:27:25,980 I wonder if you could 576 00:27:31,730 --> 00:27:29,340 um shed some light on the you know the 577 00:27:33,169 --> 00:27:31,740 difference between the application of 578 00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:33,179 certain data to certain scientific 579 00:27:44,269 --> 00:27:41,149 so you know when you look at your camera 580 00:27:46,130 --> 00:27:44,279 your camera is often designed to take an 581 00:27:48,409 --> 00:27:46,140 image in the daytime 582 00:27:49,909 --> 00:27:48,419 and might not be optimized for nighttime 583 00:27:52,190 --> 00:27:49,919 Imaging 584 00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:52,200 or if you take something that 585 00:27:58,850 --> 00:27:55,200 astronomers are very familiar with is we 586 00:28:03,649 --> 00:27:58,860 design our telescopes to work at night 587 00:28:05,570 --> 00:28:03,659 and if the Sun is not even if you can 588 00:28:07,909 --> 00:28:05,580 you know you would never take the Hubble 589 00:28:10,610 --> 00:28:07,919 telescope and point it at the Sun 590 00:28:13,730 --> 00:28:10,620 this would destroy its detectors 591 00:28:15,409 --> 00:28:13,740 not only that if the telescope is 592 00:28:18,169 --> 00:28:15,419 pointing there 593 00:28:20,409 --> 00:28:18,179 and the Sun is over there even though 594 00:28:23,090 --> 00:28:20,419 you're not looking at the sun 595 00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:23,100 Reflections off of the Optics will 596 00:28:30,049 --> 00:28:25,760 produce what we call ghosting 597 00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:30,059 and that kind of ghosting gets produces 598 00:28:34,970 --> 00:28:32,220 some very strange images 599 00:28:37,190 --> 00:28:34,980 and this you know one of the many things 600 00:28:40,789 --> 00:28:37,200 we need to worry about when we see 601 00:28:43,070 --> 00:28:40,799 unusual things taken from a camera 602 00:28:44,149 --> 00:28:43,080 is even if you're pointing the camera 603 00:28:49,070 --> 00:28:44,159 there 604 00:28:51,769 --> 00:28:49,080 those kinds of anomalies degrade the 605 00:28:53,289 --> 00:28:51,779 quality of the data and that's why it's 606 00:28:55,490 --> 00:28:53,299 very important to work with 607 00:28:58,610 --> 00:28:55,500 well-characterized instruments 608 00:29:00,470 --> 00:28:58,620 and to be you know using them in ways in 609 00:29:01,490 --> 00:29:00,480 which you you understand what what's 610 00:29:04,850 --> 00:29:01,500 going on 611 00:29:07,970 --> 00:29:04,860 so I think if you look at 612 00:29:09,710 --> 00:29:07,980 you know data taken from the James Webb 613 00:29:11,090 --> 00:29:09,720 Telescope or from the Hubble or any of 614 00:29:13,789 --> 00:29:11,100 these things and you sort of you know 615 00:29:16,730 --> 00:29:13,799 telescopes looking out in space you'll 616 00:29:18,049 --> 00:29:16,740 see some really you know at first funny 617 00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:18,059 phenomenon 618 00:29:22,490 --> 00:29:21,600 when a telescope points at a star that's 619 00:29:25,909 --> 00:29:22,500 bright 620 00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:25,919 it saturates the detector and puts 621 00:29:30,590 --> 00:29:28,440 bleeding down the detector 622 00:29:35,149 --> 00:29:30,600 and you'll see phenomenon like if 623 00:29:38,210 --> 00:29:35,159 there's a bright star off to the side 624 00:29:40,970 --> 00:29:38,220 of the not even one you're looking at 625 00:29:43,610 --> 00:29:40,980 you get this of the effects where light 626 00:29:47,930 --> 00:29:43,620 bounces off of dust 627 00:29:50,510 --> 00:29:47,940 in your telescope and produces a sort of 628 00:29:52,130 --> 00:29:50,520 diffuse image that has some really 629 00:29:54,230 --> 00:29:52,140 strange properties 630 00:29:57,950 --> 00:29:54,240 so you know when you 631 00:30:00,110 --> 00:29:57,960 see something unusual the first thing 632 00:30:01,610 --> 00:30:00,120 you have to do is understand how that 633 00:30:04,310 --> 00:30:01,620 data was taken 634 00:30:07,490 --> 00:30:04,320 and I think this is one of the 635 00:30:10,669 --> 00:30:07,500 challenges one faces when you have data 636 00:30:13,909 --> 00:30:10,679 taken by uncalibrated instruments 637 00:30:15,889 --> 00:30:13,919 years ago it's very hard to know what's 638 00:30:17,450 --> 00:30:15,899 taken it's very hard to draw conclusions 639 00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:17,460 I think that's one of the challenges 640 00:30:25,789 --> 00:30:23,000 with archival data and I think having 641 00:30:28,130 --> 00:30:25,799 dedicated well-calibrated instruments I 642 00:30:31,370 --> 00:30:28,140 think will be important here is in any 643 00:30:35,090 --> 00:30:31,380 other area to understand what's going on 644 00:30:38,090 --> 00:30:35,100 so David anomalies are so often the 645 00:30:40,070 --> 00:30:38,100 engine of Discovery maybe you could say 646 00:30:42,409 --> 00:30:40,080 a quick word about high risk High reward 647 00:30:44,690 --> 00:30:42,419 research in your field of cosmology and 648 00:30:45,889 --> 00:30:44,700 how you see that impacting the UAP study 649 00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:45,899 as well 650 00:30:49,850 --> 00:30:47,279 so 651 00:30:54,830 --> 00:30:53,570 an area that comes to mind is fast radio 652 00:30:58,490 --> 00:30:54,840 bursts 653 00:30:59,930 --> 00:30:58,500 and uh Shaw prize was just announced 654 00:31:02,090 --> 00:30:59,940 yesterday 655 00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:02,100 I'm rewarded to the discovery of fast 656 00:31:06,110 --> 00:31:04,320 radial bursts and these are these 657 00:31:08,990 --> 00:31:06,120 bursting signals 658 00:31:12,250 --> 00:31:09,000 that go off all over in space 659 00:31:15,169 --> 00:31:12,260 and it's an interesting story because 660 00:31:18,169 --> 00:31:15,179 some of the bursts were real 661 00:31:19,430 --> 00:31:18,179 and are fascinating and some of the 662 00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:19,440 births 663 00:31:27,710 --> 00:31:24,720 this observatory in Australia 664 00:31:29,810 --> 00:31:27,720 and they had really strange structure 665 00:31:31,850 --> 00:31:29,820 and people couldn't figure out what was 666 00:31:33,769 --> 00:31:31,860 going on 667 00:31:37,430 --> 00:31:33,779 and then they start to notice a lot of 668 00:31:41,870 --> 00:31:37,440 them bunched together around lunchtime 669 00:31:44,149 --> 00:31:41,880 and what had happened was the uh 670 00:31:46,370 --> 00:31:44,159 people at the observatory would heat up 671 00:31:48,409 --> 00:31:46,380 their lunch in the microwave 672 00:31:50,090 --> 00:31:48,419 and something they would do is they 673 00:31:51,169 --> 00:31:50,100 would open the door of the microwave 674 00:31:53,710 --> 00:31:51,179 oven 675 00:31:56,330 --> 00:31:53,720 before the 676 00:31:59,230 --> 00:31:56,340 microwave stopped 677 00:32:02,750 --> 00:31:59,240 this is bad for your microwave oven 678 00:32:05,810 --> 00:32:02,760 it wears it out but not only that It 679 00:32:07,310 --> 00:32:05,820 produced a burst of radio signals that 680 00:32:09,710 --> 00:32:07,320 was picked up by these sensitive 681 00:32:12,289 --> 00:32:09,720 detectors so 682 00:32:14,570 --> 00:32:12,299 this I think is an interesting lesson 683 00:32:17,690 --> 00:32:14,580 some events end up being something 684 00:32:21,049 --> 00:32:17,700 unusual and conventional 685 00:32:24,370 --> 00:32:21,059 but some events with these frbs turn out 686 00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:24,380 to be these powerful explosions 687 00:32:29,289 --> 00:32:27,360 which are taking place at cosmological 688 00:32:32,389 --> 00:32:29,299 distances 689 00:32:33,730 --> 00:32:32,399 their nature is still not fully 690 00:32:35,990 --> 00:32:33,740 understood 691 00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:36,000 I think that one of the really most 692 00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:38,399 fascinating objects we have these bursts 693 00:32:43,610 --> 00:32:40,880 going out all over space 694 00:32:45,350 --> 00:32:43,620 they're interesting probes because 695 00:32:48,230 --> 00:32:45,360 they're kind of lighting up space 696 00:32:50,450 --> 00:32:48,240 between here and there and they're a 697 00:32:52,310 --> 00:32:50,460 subject of a reactive research 698 00:32:55,730 --> 00:32:52,320 and if I you know one looks at the 699 00:32:58,310 --> 00:32:55,740 history of these frbs at first they were 700 00:33:00,830 --> 00:32:58,320 discovered not believed and confinedly 701 00:33:02,690 --> 00:33:00,840 confirmed and they were discovered by 702 00:33:04,610 --> 00:33:02,700 instruments that were very sensitive but 703 00:33:07,130 --> 00:33:04,620 not optimized for this 704 00:33:09,409 --> 00:33:07,140 and now what we're doing is we're 705 00:33:13,070 --> 00:33:09,419 optimizing instruments and optimizing 706 00:33:16,190 --> 00:33:13,080 software to look for these events and 707 00:33:17,810 --> 00:33:16,200 it's often these surprises that turn out 708 00:33:21,830 --> 00:33:17,820 to be most interesting 709 00:33:23,810 --> 00:33:21,840 and you know there are phenomenon like 710 00:33:25,490 --> 00:33:23,820 Sprites which you can think of as upward 711 00:33:29,269 --> 00:33:25,500 going lightning 712 00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:29,279 which were seen by commercial pilots and 713 00:33:33,409 --> 00:33:31,260 somewhat not believed right because they 714 00:33:36,169 --> 00:33:33,419 were very strange and then and it was 715 00:33:39,649 --> 00:33:36,179 really only when we were able to take 716 00:33:41,409 --> 00:33:39,659 very high speed Imaging data data taken 717 00:33:45,649 --> 00:33:41,419 often from places like space station 718 00:33:48,110 --> 00:33:45,659 that we're able to see that and learn 719 00:33:51,289 --> 00:33:48,120 about these some fascinating ionospheric 720 00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:51,299 phenomena so it's uh surprises are 721 00:33:53,930 --> 00:33:53,039 really interesting I mean I think this 722 00:33:56,029 --> 00:33:53,940 is 723 00:33:59,330 --> 00:33:56,039 one of the 724 00:34:01,190 --> 00:33:59,340 uh fascinating things about the UAP 725 00:34:02,630 --> 00:34:01,200 phenomenon if it's something that's 726 00:34:04,850 --> 00:34:02,640 anomalous 727 00:34:07,490 --> 00:34:04,860 that makes it interesting and worthy of 728 00:34:10,310 --> 00:34:08,930 other questions 729 00:34:23,149 --> 00:34:10,320 great 730 00:34:27,230 --> 00:34:25,310 thank you David and 731 00:34:29,089 --> 00:34:27,240 pleasure to be back good morning 732 00:34:32,030 --> 00:34:29,099 everyone I want to start by thanking 733 00:34:34,490 --> 00:34:32,040 NASA for convening today's UAP 734 00:34:37,129 --> 00:34:34,500 independent study public meeting and 735 00:34:39,589 --> 00:34:37,139 inviting me to continue to participate 736 00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:39,599 NASA has been an invaluable partner to 737 00:34:44,149 --> 00:34:41,760 our team at Arrow as we work to better 738 00:34:46,550 --> 00:34:44,159 understand and respond to unidentified 739 00:34:48,950 --> 00:34:46,560 anomalous phenomena 740 00:34:50,869 --> 00:34:48,960 we applaud NASA for commissioning its 741 00:34:53,210 --> 00:34:50,879 independent study team and for exploring 742 00:34:56,149 --> 00:34:53,220 what data and tools could be leveraged 743 00:34:58,670 --> 00:34:56,159 to shed greater light on UAP 744 00:35:01,670 --> 00:34:58,680 though NASA and arrow are taking on very 745 00:35:03,550 --> 00:35:01,680 different aspects of the UAP problem set 746 00:35:06,050 --> 00:35:03,560 our efforts are very much complementary 747 00:35:08,930 --> 00:35:06,060 we both are committed to the scientific 748 00:35:10,970 --> 00:35:08,940 method to a data-driven approach 749 00:35:12,770 --> 00:35:10,980 and the highest standards of scientific 750 00:35:15,170 --> 00:35:12,780 research integrity 751 00:35:18,890 --> 00:35:15,180 while NASA is evaluating unclassified 752 00:35:21,950 --> 00:35:18,900 data sources for its study arrows data 753 00:35:24,530 --> 00:35:21,960 set includes classified material with a 754 00:35:27,589 --> 00:35:24,540 focus on National Security areas 755 00:35:29,329 --> 00:35:27,599 however all of this data collectively is 756 00:35:31,870 --> 00:35:29,339 critical to understanding the nature and 757 00:35:34,370 --> 00:35:31,880 origin of UAP 758 00:35:37,430 --> 00:35:34,380 NASA brings unique capabilities 759 00:35:40,730 --> 00:35:37,440 world-class scientists and a wealth of 760 00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:40,740 academic and research linkages 761 00:35:44,450 --> 00:35:43,200 NASA also has access to Earth sensing 762 00:35:46,730 --> 00:35:44,460 satellites 763 00:35:48,650 --> 00:35:46,740 radiological sensors tools for 764 00:35:51,290 --> 00:35:48,660 gravitational wave geomagnetic wave 765 00:35:53,630 --> 00:35:51,300 detection and means for analyzing open 766 00:35:55,970 --> 00:35:53,640 source cloud and crowdsourced data that 767 00:35:58,069 --> 00:35:55,980 may assist both Aero and NASA in their 768 00:36:00,109 --> 00:35:58,079 UAP efforts 769 00:36:03,109 --> 00:36:00,119 we are very grateful for the partnership 770 00:36:04,970 --> 00:36:03,119 and welcome the opportunity to join with 771 00:36:06,950 --> 00:36:04,980 NASA to share our Collective findings 772 00:36:09,470 --> 00:36:06,960 with the public as the U.S government 773 00:36:11,230 --> 00:36:09,480 moves towards greater transparency on 774 00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:11,240 this issue 775 00:36:16,010 --> 00:36:14,040 last month I testified before members of 776 00:36:18,170 --> 00:36:16,020 the Senate armed services committee on 777 00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:18,180 emerging threats and capabilities 778 00:36:24,530 --> 00:36:20,880 and shared some of the progress made 779 00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:24,540 since Arrow's establishment in July 2022 780 00:36:28,069 --> 00:36:26,400 I discussed arrows scientific and 781 00:36:30,710 --> 00:36:28,079 analytic approaches 782 00:36:32,930 --> 00:36:30,720 its efforts to improve UAP data 783 00:36:36,050 --> 00:36:32,940 collection standardize our reporting 784 00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:36,060 processes leverage our Partnerships and 785 00:36:40,970 --> 00:36:38,160 meticulously review the US government's 786 00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:40,980 UAP related historical records 787 00:36:46,490 --> 00:36:43,440 as I told the subcommittee then the 788 00:36:48,589 --> 00:36:46,500 resolution of all UAP cases cannot be 789 00:36:50,270 --> 00:36:48,599 accomplished by DOD and the intelligence 790 00:36:52,190 --> 00:36:50,280 Community alone 791 00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:52,200 era's ultimate success will require 792 00:36:57,530 --> 00:36:54,480 Partnerships with the interagency 793 00:37:00,109 --> 00:36:57,540 industry Academia the scientific 794 00:37:02,390 --> 00:37:00,119 community and the public 795 00:37:06,050 --> 00:37:02,400 which all bring their own resources 796 00:37:09,230 --> 00:37:06,060 ideas and expertise to the UAP challenge 797 00:37:09,950 --> 00:37:09,240 We Believe robust collaboration and peer 798 00:37:12,050 --> 00:37:09,960 review 799 00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:12,060 across a broad range of Partners will 800 00:37:16,730 --> 00:37:13,680 promote greater objectivity and 801 00:37:19,310 --> 00:37:16,740 transparency in the study of UAP 802 00:37:21,109 --> 00:37:19,320 of course NASA's UAP independent study 803 00:37:22,550 --> 00:37:21,119 team was convened very much in that 804 00:37:25,130 --> 00:37:22,560 spirit 805 00:37:27,470 --> 00:37:25,140 I also emphasized to Congress that the 806 00:37:30,170 --> 00:37:27,480 only a very small percentage of UAP 807 00:37:33,589 --> 00:37:30,180 reports displays signatures that could 808 00:37:35,990 --> 00:37:33,599 reasonably be described as anomalous 809 00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:36,000 the majority of unidentified objects 810 00:37:41,690 --> 00:37:38,640 reported to Arrow and in our Holdings 811 00:37:44,030 --> 00:37:41,700 demonstrate mundane characteristics of 812 00:37:46,370 --> 00:37:44,040 readily explainable sources 813 00:37:48,589 --> 00:37:46,380 while a large number of cases in arrows 814 00:37:51,829 --> 00:37:48,599 Holdings remain technically unresolved 815 00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:51,839 this is primarily due to a lack of data 816 00:37:56,630 --> 00:37:54,240 associated with those cases 817 00:37:58,750 --> 00:37:56,640 very much along the lines of what David 818 00:38:01,609 --> 00:37:58,760 was just speaking about 819 00:38:03,770 --> 00:38:01,619 sufficient data we are unable to reach 820 00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:03,780 defendable conclusions that meet the 821 00:38:07,130 --> 00:38:05,460 high scientific standards we set for 822 00:38:09,410 --> 00:38:07,140 resolution 823 00:38:11,089 --> 00:38:09,420 meanwhile for the few objects that do 824 00:38:13,490 --> 00:38:11,099 demonstrate potentially anomalous 825 00:38:15,410 --> 00:38:13,500 characteristics arrows approaching these 826 00:38:18,829 --> 00:38:15,420 cases with the highest level 827 00:38:20,990 --> 00:38:18,839 of objectivity and analytic rigor this 828 00:38:23,810 --> 00:38:21,000 includes physical testing and employing 829 00:38:26,810 --> 00:38:23,820 modeling and simulation to validate our 830 00:38:28,609 --> 00:38:26,820 analyzes and the underlying theories and 831 00:38:30,890 --> 00:38:28,619 then peer-reviewing those results before 832 00:38:33,170 --> 00:38:30,900 reaching any conclusions 833 00:38:35,810 --> 00:38:33,180 Arrow has shared these cases with the 834 00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:35,820 appropriately cleared NASA team members 835 00:38:41,150 --> 00:38:38,160 in order to discuss and help recommend 836 00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:41,160 potential scientific areas of study that 837 00:38:45,530 --> 00:38:43,260 NASA may want to take lead on 838 00:38:47,569 --> 00:38:45,540 I'll underscore here as I did before 839 00:38:50,210 --> 00:38:47,579 Congress at arrows work will take time 840 00:38:51,950 --> 00:38:50,220 if we are committed to doing it right 841 00:38:53,450 --> 00:38:51,960 arrow is committed to the highest 842 00:38:56,089 --> 00:38:53,460 standards of scientific research 843 00:38:57,890 --> 00:38:56,099 Integrity as we know our partners at 844 00:38:59,750 --> 00:38:57,900 Nasa are as well 845 00:39:01,910 --> 00:38:59,760 thanks again to NASA for hosting this 846 00:39:04,069 --> 00:39:01,920 public forum for UAP discussion and 847 00:39:06,170 --> 00:39:04,079 information exchange and I'd like to 848 00:39:08,150 --> 00:39:06,180 turn to a brief presentation that 849 00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:08,160 includes some recently Declassified 850 00:39:15,829 --> 00:39:12,480 footage and trends for discussion 851 00:39:22,190 --> 00:39:18,710 so some of you probably saw a version of 852 00:39:23,650 --> 00:39:22,200 this at the open hearing last month this 853 00:39:26,510 --> 00:39:23,660 is an overall 854 00:39:28,910 --> 00:39:26,520 review of all the analytic trends of all 855 00:39:31,849 --> 00:39:28,920 the cases that we have to date while the 856 00:39:34,750 --> 00:39:31,859 numbers may have changed a little bit 857 00:39:38,510 --> 00:39:34,760 uh the overall Trends remain the same 858 00:39:41,150 --> 00:39:38,520 most of what we are seeing reported by 859 00:39:43,430 --> 00:39:41,160 aircraft are at the altitudes where we 860 00:39:44,630 --> 00:39:43,440 fly aircraft that should not be a 861 00:39:46,910 --> 00:39:44,640 surprise 862 00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:46,920 you will note however that I have no 863 00:39:51,349 --> 00:39:49,440 space reports and I have no Maritime 864 00:39:53,510 --> 00:39:51,359 reports 865 00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:53,520 that is notable even though we are 866 00:39:58,870 --> 00:39:56,160 looking across all of those domains 867 00:40:01,730 --> 00:39:58,880 on the upper right we have UAP 868 00:40:03,710 --> 00:40:01,740 morphologies the vast majority of what 869 00:40:04,430 --> 00:40:03,720 has been reported and what we have data 870 00:40:08,329 --> 00:40:04,440 on 871 00:40:10,569 --> 00:40:08,339 a little less than half now are orbs 872 00:40:14,030 --> 00:40:10,579 round spheres 873 00:40:16,910 --> 00:40:14,040 and in the bottom right you will see in 874 00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:16,920 the really the the Heats map of the 875 00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:19,260 areas where we get most of our reporting 876 00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:21,839 this is very much a collection biased 877 00:40:28,730 --> 00:40:24,900 map this is where our sensors are our 878 00:40:30,290 --> 00:40:28,740 military and our IC and some of the FAA 879 00:40:33,410 --> 00:40:30,300 data 880 00:40:36,170 --> 00:40:33,420 in the middle which is what we call our 881 00:40:38,390 --> 00:40:36,180 typical UAP characteristics for the vast 882 00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:38,400 majority of the cases that we see 883 00:40:43,609 --> 00:40:41,280 one way of looking at that is a is a 884 00:40:46,790 --> 00:40:43,619 we'll call it a Target package this is 885 00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:46,800 the thing we are out hunting for in most 886 00:40:53,510 --> 00:40:48,960 cases 887 00:40:58,730 --> 00:40:55,910 this is an example of one that I showed 888 00:41:01,190 --> 00:40:58,740 at the hearing recently this is a 889 00:41:05,390 --> 00:41:01,200 spherical orb metallic in the Middle 890 00:41:07,010 --> 00:41:05,400 East 2022 by an MQ-9 891 00:41:08,810 --> 00:41:07,020 and we'll come back to the sensor 892 00:41:10,130 --> 00:41:08,820 question that David raised here in a 893 00:41:12,829 --> 00:41:10,140 moment 894 00:41:15,650 --> 00:41:12,839 this is a typical example of the thing 895 00:41:18,890 --> 00:41:15,660 that we see most of we see these all 896 00:41:21,710 --> 00:41:18,900 over the world and we see these in and 897 00:41:25,069 --> 00:41:21,720 making very interesting 898 00:41:29,870 --> 00:41:27,290 this one in particular however I would 899 00:41:32,450 --> 00:41:29,880 point out demonstrated no enigmatic 900 00:41:34,790 --> 00:41:32,460 technical capabilities and was no threat 901 00:41:37,010 --> 00:41:34,800 to Airborne safety 902 00:41:39,349 --> 00:41:37,020 while we are still looking at it I don't 903 00:41:41,390 --> 00:41:39,359 have any more data other than that 904 00:41:44,569 --> 00:41:41,400 and so being able to come to some 905 00:41:47,089 --> 00:41:44,579 conclusion is going to take time until 906 00:41:49,730 --> 00:41:47,099 we can get better resolved data on 907 00:41:51,950 --> 00:41:49,740 similar objects that we can then do a 908 00:41:55,490 --> 00:41:51,960 larger analysis on 909 00:42:01,670 --> 00:41:57,950 I'm going to let this play through this 910 00:42:04,310 --> 00:42:01,680 is a newly released video you'll notice 911 00:42:06,650 --> 00:42:04,320 there are two dots moving back and forth 912 00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:06,660 there is a plane at the bottom that's 913 00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:08,640 moving across the screen and now there 914 00:42:14,089 --> 00:42:11,040 are three dots moving back and forth 915 00:42:15,650 --> 00:42:14,099 the moving back and forth is from the 916 00:42:19,970 --> 00:42:15,660 sensor and the platform that's 917 00:42:21,470 --> 00:42:19,980 collecting it this is a a P3 on a 918 00:42:24,170 --> 00:42:21,480 training mission in the Western United 919 00:42:26,630 --> 00:42:24,180 States they picked these up and they 920 00:42:28,490 --> 00:42:26,640 tried to intercept and was unable to 921 00:42:31,310 --> 00:42:28,500 intercept them 922 00:42:34,010 --> 00:42:31,320 apart from that motion and you'll see a 923 00:42:34,930 --> 00:42:34,020 little bit of defocusing from the sensor 924 00:42:37,490 --> 00:42:34,940 itself 925 00:42:40,370 --> 00:42:37,500 there is no other 926 00:42:42,650 --> 00:42:40,380 Oddity about this except for the fact 927 00:42:44,210 --> 00:42:42,660 that they couldn't catch them the reason 928 00:42:47,270 --> 00:42:44,220 they couldn't catch them is because 929 00:42:49,609 --> 00:42:47,280 after further analysis it was shown that 930 00:42:52,490 --> 00:42:49,619 those objects were actually much farther 931 00:42:54,650 --> 00:42:52,500 away from the P3 than they thought 932 00:42:56,810 --> 00:42:54,660 and in fact when we went even deeper 933 00:42:59,329 --> 00:42:56,820 looked at Air Traffic Control Data we 934 00:43:02,809 --> 00:42:59,339 were able to match those to aircraft on 935 00:43:05,210 --> 00:43:02,819 a major flight Corridor heading into a 936 00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:05,220 major airport for landing 937 00:43:12,290 --> 00:43:09,180 this is the kind of thing that can 938 00:43:15,530 --> 00:43:12,300 spoof and or provide misperception of 939 00:43:17,030 --> 00:43:15,540 both very highly trained pilots as well 940 00:43:20,450 --> 00:43:17,040 as sensors 941 00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:20,460 right and this was reported as an odd 942 00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:23,280 grouping of three UAP 943 00:43:27,170 --> 00:43:24,480 all right 944 00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:27,180 that is not to say that the pilots 945 00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:29,520 didn't know what they were looking at or 946 00:43:33,950 --> 00:43:31,440 they they knew what they were looking at 947 00:43:36,050 --> 00:43:33,960 but they weren't really sure but it also 948 00:43:37,849 --> 00:43:36,060 is meant to say that when they're not 949 00:43:39,530 --> 00:43:37,859 sure they're reporting it now and that's 950 00:43:41,430 --> 00:43:39,540 what they're supposed to be doing and 951 00:43:43,010 --> 00:43:41,440 then we have to go look at it 952 00:43:46,370 --> 00:43:43,020 [Music] 953 00:43:49,970 --> 00:43:48,410 that brings us to really what is Arrow 954 00:43:52,010 --> 00:43:49,980 doing in the science and Technical 955 00:43:53,109 --> 00:43:52,020 Realms so this is one of those areas 956 00:43:55,190 --> 00:43:53,119 that 957 00:43:58,690 --> 00:43:55,200 I'm going to expound a little bit more 958 00:44:01,250 --> 00:43:58,700 on than we did in the last hearings 959 00:44:03,829 --> 00:44:01,260 Arrow has a 960 00:44:05,930 --> 00:44:03,839 robust scientific plan that we are 961 00:44:08,470 --> 00:44:05,940 required to then provide to Congress 962 00:44:10,730 --> 00:44:08,480 here pretty soon 963 00:44:12,890 --> 00:44:10,740 one of the first things that we're doing 964 00:44:15,890 --> 00:44:12,900 is looking across all the existing 965 00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:15,900 sensor data against that typical UAP 966 00:44:21,829 --> 00:44:18,480 Target that I gave you up at the very 967 00:44:23,870 --> 00:44:21,839 first slide that goes beyond DOD and IC 968 00:44:26,089 --> 00:44:23,880 sensors that's commercial that's civil 969 00:44:29,410 --> 00:44:26,099 that's in and with partnership with NASA 970 00:44:31,910 --> 00:44:29,420 with NASA sensors and NOAA sensors 971 00:44:34,490 --> 00:44:31,920 understanding if any of these Earth 972 00:44:36,589 --> 00:44:34,500 sensing satellites any of these Airborne 973 00:44:38,930 --> 00:44:36,599 platforms any of these ground Radars 974 00:44:40,970 --> 00:44:38,940 whether it's FAA or other can actually 975 00:44:43,730 --> 00:44:40,980 see these things 976 00:44:45,170 --> 00:44:43,740 given what we've got so far is going to 977 00:44:46,790 --> 00:44:45,180 be an important first step to 978 00:44:49,490 --> 00:44:46,800 understanding which sensors are going to 979 00:44:54,410 --> 00:44:52,250 from there we will we are augmenting 980 00:44:57,589 --> 00:44:54,420 with dedicated sensors that we've 981 00:44:59,930 --> 00:44:57,599 purpose built designed to detect track 982 00:45:02,450 --> 00:44:59,940 and characterize those particular 983 00:45:05,349 --> 00:45:02,460 objects we will be then putting those 984 00:45:08,030 --> 00:45:05,359 out in very select areas for 985 00:45:10,910 --> 00:45:08,040 surveillance purposes 986 00:45:13,130 --> 00:45:10,920 Partnerships with Academia exploring the 987 00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:13,140 signatures to match to our data so 988 00:45:18,109 --> 00:45:15,599 understanding if a thing is moving and 989 00:45:19,609 --> 00:45:18,119 if it is doing certain anomalous 990 00:45:21,770 --> 00:45:19,619 activities what are the signatures we 991 00:45:24,650 --> 00:45:21,780 would expect to see how do we pull on 992 00:45:26,750 --> 00:45:24,660 that and then from there how do I tune 993 00:45:28,130 --> 00:45:26,760 my collection architecture to go after 994 00:45:30,230 --> 00:45:28,140 it 995 00:45:32,270 --> 00:45:30,240 statistical analytic techniques we're 996 00:45:34,250 --> 00:45:32,280 working with a couple of universities on 997 00:45:37,309 --> 00:45:34,260 how do I do broader base statistical 998 00:45:39,470 --> 00:45:37,319 analysis on unclassified and classified 999 00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:39,480 data so that I can apply those analytics 1000 00:45:44,690 --> 00:45:42,000 to our Holdings 1001 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:44,700 and then Ai and ml analytic techniques 1002 00:45:49,730 --> 00:45:47,760 for searching out through the data what 1003 00:45:52,670 --> 00:45:49,740 are this what are the objects what are 1004 00:45:55,250 --> 00:45:52,680 the targets that we're going after 1005 00:45:57,650 --> 00:45:55,260 we have Partnerships with both DOD and 1006 00:45:59,809 --> 00:45:57,660 doe labs to explore our current 1007 00:46:01,910 --> 00:45:59,819 state-of-the-art fundamental physics of 1008 00:46:04,130 --> 00:46:01,920 UAP observations 1009 00:46:06,650 --> 00:46:04,140 both current and historical in other 1010 00:46:09,109 --> 00:46:06,660 words if I have objects those few that 1011 00:46:11,870 --> 00:46:09,119 are doing some things that are anomalous 1012 00:46:14,089 --> 00:46:11,880 what is our current understanding of 1013 00:46:15,670 --> 00:46:14,099 maneuverability 1014 00:46:18,290 --> 00:46:15,680 speed 1015 00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:18,300 signature management 1016 00:46:22,790 --> 00:46:21,060 propulsion what are those underlying 1017 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:22,800 signatures that we would expect to see 1018 00:46:28,730 --> 00:46:26,640 and how do I then pull on that 1019 00:46:30,829 --> 00:46:28,740 our interagency and Allied partnership 1020 00:46:32,809 --> 00:46:30,839 ships for calibration of our 1021 00:46:35,750 --> 00:46:32,819 capabilities this is exactly what David 1022 00:46:37,970 --> 00:46:35,760 was pointing at the vast majority of 1023 00:46:41,030 --> 00:46:37,980 what we have reported to us are DOD 1024 00:46:42,890 --> 00:46:41,040 sensors DOD sensors are not scientific 1025 00:46:45,170 --> 00:46:42,900 sensors they are not intelligence 1026 00:46:47,089 --> 00:46:45,180 Community sensors Believe It or Not 1027 00:46:49,010 --> 00:46:47,099 intelligence Community sensors are very 1028 00:46:51,050 --> 00:46:49,020 close to Scientific sensors they are 1029 00:46:53,150 --> 00:46:51,060 calibrated they are high Precision they 1030 00:46:55,370 --> 00:46:53,160 are everything you'd ever want to know 1031 00:46:58,370 --> 00:46:55,380 about a thing 1032 00:47:01,430 --> 00:46:58,380 DOD sensors have one purpose they are to 1033 00:47:02,750 --> 00:47:01,440 identify an object that is known and put 1034 00:47:04,849 --> 00:47:02,760 a weapon on it 1035 00:47:07,730 --> 00:47:04,859 that is what they're for right 1036 00:47:09,710 --> 00:47:07,740 predominantly so understanding how do 1037 00:47:12,890 --> 00:47:09,720 you calibrate those against these known 1038 00:47:15,109 --> 00:47:12,900 objects how do I fly in F-35 against a 1039 00:47:16,730 --> 00:47:15,119 weather balloon at different speeds and 1040 00:47:18,829 --> 00:47:16,740 different altitudes and different Sun 1041 00:47:20,870 --> 00:47:18,839 conditions and different lighting 1042 00:47:23,329 --> 00:47:20,880 conditions and and heating conditions 1043 00:47:25,430 --> 00:47:23,339 those are all important measurements 1044 00:47:28,609 --> 00:47:25,440 that need to be done and we are on the 1045 00:47:30,829 --> 00:47:28,619 in process of doing that right now that 1046 00:47:33,530 --> 00:47:30,839 table on the right is a very simplified 1047 00:47:35,510 --> 00:47:33,540 version of our entire test Matrix which 1048 00:47:38,089 --> 00:47:35,520 you would not be able to fit on three of 1049 00:47:41,870 --> 00:47:38,099 these slides against all of our sensors 1050 00:47:43,730 --> 00:47:41,880 across all of those phenomenologies 1051 00:47:46,309 --> 00:47:43,740 that will be useful in order to then 1052 00:47:49,069 --> 00:47:46,319 train our operators pilots and sensors 1053 00:47:51,050 --> 00:47:49,079 against the known objects 1054 00:47:52,490 --> 00:47:51,060 and then finally our pattern of Life 1055 00:47:54,770 --> 00:47:52,500 analysis 1056 00:47:57,290 --> 00:47:54,780 this is essentially baselining what is 1057 00:47:59,690 --> 00:47:57,300 normal I have all these Hot Spot areas 1058 00:48:01,790 --> 00:47:59,700 but we only have hotspot areas because 1059 00:48:03,470 --> 00:48:01,800 that's when the reports come in from The 1060 00:48:04,370 --> 00:48:03,480 Operators that are operating at that 1061 00:48:11,030 --> 00:48:04,380 time 1062 00:48:14,210 --> 00:48:11,040 so to have a 24 7 collection monitoring 1063 00:48:16,490 --> 00:48:14,220 campaign in some of these areas for 1064 00:48:19,550 --> 00:48:16,500 three months at a time is going to be 1065 00:48:22,190 --> 00:48:19,560 necessary in order to measure out what 1066 00:48:23,030 --> 00:48:22,200 is normal then I'll know what is not 1067 00:48:24,710 --> 00:48:23,040 normal 1068 00:48:27,109 --> 00:48:24,720 right when we have additional things 1069 00:48:30,349 --> 00:48:27,119 that come through those spaces 1070 00:48:32,270 --> 00:48:30,359 and that includes space and maritime 1071 00:48:33,710 --> 00:48:32,280 next slide please 1072 00:48:36,170 --> 00:48:33,720 which brings me to some of my 1073 00:48:40,130 --> 00:48:36,180 recommendations for the panel and their 1074 00:48:44,930 --> 00:48:41,930 some of these we're going to be 1075 00:48:47,270 --> 00:48:44,940 exploring with our our new NASA embed 1076 00:48:49,010 --> 00:48:47,280 I'm happy to be welcoming on for your 1077 00:48:52,430 --> 00:48:49,020 pretty soon who's going to help us in 1078 00:48:56,809 --> 00:48:53,950 um 1079 00:48:58,730 --> 00:48:56,819 crowdsourcing unclassified open source 1080 00:49:01,790 --> 00:48:58,740 data this is where you know some of the 1081 00:49:05,150 --> 00:49:01,800 public can be helpful you know 1082 00:49:07,250 --> 00:49:05,160 imagery from a iPhone is generally not 1083 00:49:09,230 --> 00:49:07,260 helpful unless you are right up on 1084 00:49:12,770 --> 00:49:09,240 whatever it is you're looking at 1085 00:49:16,309 --> 00:49:12,780 however some of the ancillary data that 1086 00:49:19,390 --> 00:49:16,319 your iPhone provides from location to 1087 00:49:21,829 --> 00:49:19,400 speed to you know other 1088 00:49:23,690 --> 00:49:21,839 phenomenologies and more than one of 1089 00:49:25,030 --> 00:49:23,700 those can be very helpful 1090 00:49:27,589 --> 00:49:25,040 right 1091 00:49:30,190 --> 00:49:27,599 large-scale ground-based scientific 1092 00:49:32,150 --> 00:49:30,200 instrumentation 1093 00:49:34,190 --> 00:49:32,160 evaluating 1094 00:49:36,410 --> 00:49:34,200 how can I use some of these other 1095 00:49:40,010 --> 00:49:36,420 instruments for detection the frb 1096 00:49:41,890 --> 00:49:40,020 example was was perfect right you have a 1097 00:49:44,030 --> 00:49:41,900 bunch of large scale 1098 00:49:45,530 --> 00:49:44,040 instruments that were not designed for 1099 00:49:48,349 --> 00:49:45,540 that yet they picked them up because 1100 00:49:49,550 --> 00:49:48,359 there was a microwave 1101 00:49:53,510 --> 00:49:49,560 well 1102 00:49:56,329 --> 00:49:53,520 we have a a surrogate Target package of 1103 00:49:58,490 --> 00:49:56,339 what we think these things are at least 1104 00:50:01,329 --> 00:49:58,500 from a what we've got reported to us 1105 00:50:04,490 --> 00:50:01,339 that was in the front slide 1106 00:50:07,309 --> 00:50:04,500 understanding how can I evaluate that 1107 00:50:09,770 --> 00:50:07,319 against all of these other instruments 1108 00:50:11,390 --> 00:50:09,780 and do any of them have a chance of 1109 00:50:13,609 --> 00:50:11,400 picking anything up that would be 1110 00:50:16,609 --> 00:50:13,619 helpful in tipping and queuing us to get 1111 00:50:19,910 --> 00:50:16,619 other sensors on target 1112 00:50:21,950 --> 00:50:19,920 I think leading that evaluation of the 1113 00:50:25,010 --> 00:50:21,960 scientific ground-based sensors would be 1114 00:50:26,990 --> 00:50:25,020 useful also the same thing for the Earth 1115 00:50:30,490 --> 00:50:27,000 Sciences satellites as we mentioned 1116 00:50:38,690 --> 00:50:33,109 intentional Vice coincidental collection 1117 00:50:42,849 --> 00:50:38,700 so looking at how can I provide a tip in 1118 00:50:45,609 --> 00:50:42,859 queue to both the ground and space-based 1119 00:50:49,190 --> 00:50:45,619 scientific and academic sensor Community 1120 00:50:51,890 --> 00:50:49,200 to put additional sensors on a object 1121 00:50:55,849 --> 00:50:51,900 when it is reported I'm currently doing 1122 00:50:59,569 --> 00:50:55,859 that with arrow The Joint staff the 1123 00:51:02,930 --> 00:50:59,579 commands for when they get tipping queue 1124 00:51:05,510 --> 00:51:02,940 right so a pilot says something they see 1125 00:51:07,309 --> 00:51:05,520 something they report it in and we're 1126 00:51:09,410 --> 00:51:07,319 going to turn on a whole bunch of new 1127 00:51:11,809 --> 00:51:09,420 collection to go after it I should be 1128 00:51:14,150 --> 00:51:11,819 able to hand that same tip and cue to 1129 00:51:15,950 --> 00:51:14,160 the scientific and academic community 1130 00:51:17,329 --> 00:51:15,960 so looking at how that works would be 1131 00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:17,339 helpful 1132 00:51:22,670 --> 00:51:20,760 peer reviewing Advanced capabilities the 1133 00:51:24,049 --> 00:51:22,680 parameterization and the publication of 1134 00:51:25,609 --> 00:51:24,059 that that have not yet been engineered 1135 00:51:26,450 --> 00:51:25,619 we understand a lot of fundamental 1136 00:51:28,390 --> 00:51:26,460 physics 1137 00:51:31,490 --> 00:51:28,400 it is the scientific 1138 00:51:33,950 --> 00:51:31,500 community's responsibility to explore 1139 00:51:35,870 --> 00:51:33,960 and document those fundamentals in 1140 00:51:37,730 --> 00:51:35,880 peer-reviewed scientific journals to 1141 00:51:40,849 --> 00:51:37,740 match to data so that we can weed out 1142 00:51:43,069 --> 00:51:40,859 all kinds of different hypotheses right 1143 00:51:44,870 --> 00:51:43,079 that's how science works we need to make 1144 00:51:47,210 --> 00:51:44,880 sure that we are doing that I think 1145 00:51:49,750 --> 00:51:47,220 leading that conversation would be very 1146 00:51:52,670 --> 00:51:49,760 helpful from NASA's perspective 1147 00:51:55,870 --> 00:51:52,680 archived scientific data so we have a 1148 00:51:58,849 --> 00:51:55,880 whole bunch of calibrated large-scale 1149 00:52:02,510 --> 00:51:58,859 scientific data from all these different 1150 00:52:05,030 --> 00:52:02,520 instrumentations around the world taking 1151 00:52:08,809 --> 00:52:05,040 a look at how can you apply some maybe 1152 00:52:12,109 --> 00:52:08,819 some AIML tools to search through that 1153 00:52:14,030 --> 00:52:12,119 data for anomalous signatures that may 1154 00:52:16,069 --> 00:52:14,040 correlate to things that we've got 1155 00:52:17,770 --> 00:52:16,079 reporting on that would be an 1156 00:52:19,970 --> 00:52:17,780 interesting study 1157 00:52:21,710 --> 00:52:19,980 distributions of sightings I think this 1158 00:52:24,349 --> 00:52:21,720 is a low hanging fruit one right so if 1159 00:52:26,630 --> 00:52:24,359 we take a look at all of the 1160 00:52:28,549 --> 00:52:26,640 distributions of sightings that are 1161 00:52:30,470 --> 00:52:28,559 outside of my National Security areas 1162 00:52:31,970 --> 00:52:30,480 that I've got classified reporting for 1163 00:52:33,950 --> 00:52:31,980 and they generate the similar 1164 00:52:35,750 --> 00:52:33,960 distribution map as we've got and we put 1165 00:52:37,609 --> 00:52:35,760 those two pieces together now I have a 1166 00:52:38,990 --> 00:52:37,619 holistic picture 1167 00:52:40,970 --> 00:52:39,000 and then of course our foreign 1168 00:52:43,609 --> 00:52:40,980 Partnerships building a robust 1169 00:52:47,109 --> 00:52:43,619 scientific community of Interest review 1170 00:52:50,510 --> 00:52:47,119 data capabilities conduct analysis 1171 00:52:53,089 --> 00:52:50,520 expanding upon you know our military and 1172 00:52:55,250 --> 00:52:53,099 intelligence collaborations across the 1173 00:52:57,410 --> 00:52:55,260 world into the scientific and academic 1174 00:53:00,250 --> 00:52:57,420 world 1175 00:53:02,569 --> 00:53:00,260 and with that those were my thoughts 1176 00:53:05,270 --> 00:53:02,579 we've talked about some of these in the 1177 00:53:07,609 --> 00:53:05,280 past it would be uh interesting to to 1178 00:53:09,829 --> 00:53:07,619 hear if there's any further questions or 1179 00:53:11,630 --> 00:53:09,839 deliberations on any of those points and 1180 00:53:13,370 --> 00:53:11,640 I'm happy to take any questions that you 1181 00:53:16,250 --> 00:53:13,380 all have 1182 00:53:17,930 --> 00:53:16,260 great uh thank you Dr Kirkpatrick and I 1183 00:53:21,230 --> 00:53:17,940 also want to you take this opportunity 1184 00:53:24,109 --> 00:53:21,240 to thank you in the Aro for your 1185 00:53:26,990 --> 00:53:24,119 openness uh in providing this committee 1186 00:53:29,150 --> 00:53:27,000 with insight and information about what 1187 00:53:31,549 --> 00:53:29,160 you've learned so far how we could work 1188 00:53:33,170 --> 00:53:31,559 together I think this is very much an 1189 00:53:35,809 --> 00:53:33,180 area where it's going to be essential 1190 00:53:40,250 --> 00:53:35,819 that NASA be a partner and be a good 1191 00:53:42,290 --> 00:53:40,260 partner for aaro and I think you're uh 1192 00:53:44,690 --> 00:53:42,300 really want to thank you for your role 1193 00:53:47,089 --> 00:53:44,700 with this Committee in helping to start 1194 00:53:52,190 --> 00:53:47,099 to build that partnership been my 1195 00:53:55,370 --> 00:53:54,049 um question uh we talked a lot about 1196 00:53:58,190 --> 00:53:55,380 data already 1197 00:53:59,690 --> 00:53:58,200 let's talk about sensors for a second so 1198 00:54:00,829 --> 00:53:59,700 you mentioned that you work for labs 1199 00:54:03,170 --> 00:54:00,839 Academia 1200 00:54:04,970 --> 00:54:03,180 do you see a need to go beyond what you 1201 00:54:07,549 --> 00:54:04,980 mentioned earlier that is the type of 1202 00:54:09,290 --> 00:54:07,559 census we have right now which are based 1203 00:54:10,910 --> 00:54:09,300 on National Security threats and certain 1204 00:54:12,230 --> 00:54:10,920 phenomenologies and frequency range of 1205 00:54:13,849 --> 00:54:12,240 these kinds of things 1206 00:54:16,549 --> 00:54:13,859 do you see a reason of going beyond that 1207 00:54:19,010 --> 00:54:16,559 yep absolutely what what are some of the 1208 00:54:21,650 --> 00:54:19,020 challenges their materials 1209 00:54:24,490 --> 00:54:21,660 so can we go back to the front slide 1210 00:54:26,530 --> 00:54:24,500 just the first slide where the target 1211 00:54:29,990 --> 00:54:26,540 characterization is 1212 00:54:33,710 --> 00:54:30,000 so we've we've purpose built a couple of 1213 00:54:36,890 --> 00:54:33,720 of sensors to do search 1214 00:54:38,270 --> 00:54:36,900 across that nope down one there you go 1215 00:54:39,770 --> 00:54:38,280 that's great 1216 00:54:41,690 --> 00:54:39,780 um to go down some of those 1217 00:54:45,530 --> 00:54:41,700 characteristics to see if we can find 1218 00:54:46,450 --> 00:54:45,540 them correlated to uh pilot reporting 1219 00:54:49,390 --> 00:54:46,460 right 1220 00:54:51,950 --> 00:54:49,400 some of those are 1221 00:54:53,930 --> 00:54:51,960 initially this is going to be I'm going 1222 00:54:56,049 --> 00:54:53,940 to say this is a bootstrap method right 1223 00:54:59,150 --> 00:54:56,059 we're doing a broad spectrum search 1224 00:55:03,170 --> 00:54:59,160 across very few indicators that we can 1225 00:55:06,109 --> 00:55:03,180 point to that will enable us to get a 1226 00:55:07,069 --> 00:55:06,119 little bit more data refine that narrow 1227 00:55:10,549 --> 00:55:07,079 those 1228 00:55:13,130 --> 00:55:10,559 sensors and and and go from there so we 1229 00:55:15,829 --> 00:55:13,140 aren't just relying on the dod and IC 1230 00:55:17,329 --> 00:55:15,839 sensors that exist today because frankly 1231 00:55:19,609 --> 00:55:17,339 they don't point to where we want them 1232 00:55:21,470 --> 00:55:19,619 to point right I mean I'll be frank with 1233 00:55:25,490 --> 00:55:21,480 with everyone 1234 00:55:29,690 --> 00:55:25,500 we we can point the largest 1235 00:55:32,089 --> 00:55:29,700 collection apparatus in the entire Globe 1236 00:55:33,589 --> 00:55:32,099 at any point we want 1237 00:55:34,910 --> 00:55:33,599 you just have to tell me where I want to 1238 00:55:37,370 --> 00:55:34,920 point it 1239 00:55:40,549 --> 00:55:37,380 second piece of that is a lot of what we 1240 00:55:41,809 --> 00:55:40,559 have is is around the continental United 1241 00:55:45,370 --> 00:55:41,819 States 1242 00:55:49,190 --> 00:55:45,380 most people including the government 1243 00:55:52,069 --> 00:55:49,200 don't like it when I point our entire 1244 00:55:55,849 --> 00:55:52,079 collection apparatus to your backyard 1245 00:55:57,589 --> 00:55:55,859 right it's it's not allowed we have some 1246 00:56:00,470 --> 00:55:57,599 laws about that and we've got to figure 1247 00:56:02,809 --> 00:56:00,480 out how to do this only in the areas 1248 00:56:05,450 --> 00:56:02,819 that that I can get high confidence 1249 00:56:07,490 --> 00:56:05,460 there's going to be something there 1250 00:56:09,829 --> 00:56:07,500 and high confidence I'm not going to 1251 00:56:11,809 --> 00:56:09,839 break any laws doing it 1252 00:56:13,910 --> 00:56:11,819 right so there's a there's a trade there 1253 00:56:16,370 --> 00:56:13,920 so some of these ground-based Point 1254 00:56:18,790 --> 00:56:16,380 detectors are going to be necessary for 1255 00:56:21,770 --> 00:56:18,800 that to point up to point out to search 1256 00:56:24,670 --> 00:56:21,780 coupled with we're evaluating a number 1257 00:56:27,490 --> 00:56:24,680 of sensor opportunities across different 1258 00:56:30,049 --> 00:56:27,500 organizations Academia 1259 00:56:32,750 --> 00:56:30,059 industry whatnot that that already exist 1260 00:56:34,849 --> 00:56:32,760 or are being built for similar purposes 1261 00:56:37,490 --> 00:56:34,859 or maybe other purposes that I might be 1262 00:56:39,829 --> 00:56:37,500 able to recalibrate for this 1263 00:56:42,170 --> 00:56:39,839 and see if those will have a chance of 1264 00:56:44,450 --> 00:56:42,180 of seeing that Target right so that's 1265 00:56:46,609 --> 00:56:44,460 where the modeling and Sim comes in can 1266 00:56:49,069 --> 00:56:46,619 I can I take that Target put it into 1267 00:56:54,890 --> 00:56:49,079 your sensor and have a chance of seeing 1268 00:56:54,900 --> 00:57:00,710 no wait who's next are you 1269 00:57:04,670 --> 00:57:03,109 um thanks Sean I have the questions you 1270 00:57:06,710 --> 00:57:04,680 probably don't want which are about 1271 00:57:07,849 --> 00:57:06,720 numbers unless I miss them during your 1272 00:57:09,950 --> 00:57:07,859 presentation 1273 00:57:11,270 --> 00:57:09,960 uh you had said that only a very small 1274 00:57:13,250 --> 00:57:11,280 percentage of your cases display 1275 00:57:14,990 --> 00:57:13,260 signatures that could be anomalous and 1276 00:57:17,049 --> 00:57:15,000 then follow that up with the few objects 1277 00:57:19,730 --> 00:57:17,059 that do demonstrate potentially 1278 00:57:21,829 --> 00:57:19,740 anomalous characteristics 1279 00:57:24,109 --> 00:57:21,839 what numbers are we talking about how 1280 00:57:26,329 --> 00:57:24,119 big is your database how many years was 1281 00:57:29,390 --> 00:57:26,339 it collected over and uh or those 1282 00:57:31,069 --> 00:57:29,400 observations made and then by few what 1283 00:57:35,210 --> 00:57:31,079 do you mean right no that's a great 1284 00:57:38,030 --> 00:57:35,220 question so this chart as I mentioned 1285 00:57:42,230 --> 00:57:38,040 we've updated with our current data 1286 00:57:43,930 --> 00:57:42,240 Holdings at the time of my open hearing 1287 00:57:47,150 --> 00:57:43,940 we were at 1288 00:57:50,290 --> 00:57:47,160 650 cases-ish 1289 00:57:53,930 --> 00:57:50,300 we are now over 800. 1290 00:57:57,710 --> 00:57:53,940 we are putting together our annual 1291 00:58:01,609 --> 00:57:57,720 report which will be due August 1. to 1292 00:58:03,589 --> 00:58:01,619 the hill and in it and there will be an 1293 00:58:05,930 --> 00:58:03,599 unclassified version as there always has 1294 00:58:07,270 --> 00:58:05,940 been we will have those updated numbers 1295 00:58:09,890 --> 00:58:07,280 at that time 1296 00:58:12,230 --> 00:58:09,900 we roughly get I mean you can do the 1297 00:58:15,849 --> 00:58:12,240 math you know it depends anywhere from 1298 00:58:19,370 --> 00:58:15,859 from 50 to 1299 00:58:21,349 --> 00:58:19,380 100-ish new reports a month now the 1300 00:58:24,109 --> 00:58:21,359 reason we had such a big jump recently 1301 00:58:26,210 --> 00:58:24,119 is because I got faa's data integrated 1302 00:58:29,870 --> 00:58:26,220 in finally and so we ended up with like 1303 00:58:31,670 --> 00:58:29,880 100 and some odd new cases 1304 00:58:34,609 --> 00:58:31,680 um so there's there's reason why it's 1305 00:58:36,710 --> 00:58:34,619 going to fluctuate the numbers that I 1306 00:58:38,510 --> 00:58:36,720 would say so 1307 00:58:40,430 --> 00:58:38,520 um 1308 00:58:42,410 --> 00:58:40,440 we're gonna we're gonna try to do a 1309 00:58:44,390 --> 00:58:42,420 little more uh 1310 00:58:47,270 --> 00:58:44,400 um Fidelity on some of the analytics 1311 00:58:51,410 --> 00:58:47,280 when we report out but the numbers I 1312 00:58:56,450 --> 00:58:51,420 would say that we see are 1313 00:58:59,510 --> 00:58:56,460 possibly really anomalous are less than 1314 00:59:02,210 --> 00:58:59,520 single digit percentages of those that 1315 00:59:09,130 --> 00:59:02,220 total database so maybe 1316 00:59:16,130 --> 00:59:13,190 all right 1317 00:59:17,510 --> 00:59:16,140 I'll stand up because I'm on the other 1318 00:59:19,370 --> 00:59:17,520 end of the room 1319 00:59:21,349 --> 00:59:19,380 um thanks Sean for your presentation and 1320 00:59:22,670 --> 00:59:21,359 for the some of the video footage that 1321 00:59:24,710 --> 00:59:22,680 we saw 1322 00:59:26,630 --> 00:59:24,720 um while we're all good scientists on 1323 00:59:28,549 --> 00:59:26,640 this panel I think that I look at it 1324 00:59:31,430 --> 00:59:28,559 with an untrained eye of looking at that 1325 00:59:33,530 --> 00:59:31,440 video and so I see three spots moving 1326 00:59:36,109 --> 00:59:33,540 and everything else in the background 1327 00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:36,119 looks like it's stable can you talk a 1328 00:59:39,470 --> 00:59:37,920 little bit more about either the sensor 1329 00:59:41,390 --> 00:59:39,480 platform or what we're seeing that's 1330 00:59:43,670 --> 00:59:41,400 stable in the background because they've 1331 00:59:47,030 --> 00:59:43,680 been identified as airplanes 1332 00:59:49,549 --> 00:59:47,040 um and there's clear description of of 1333 00:59:51,950 --> 00:59:49,559 from other data sources that came in to 1334 00:59:54,470 --> 00:59:51,960 help clarify that but when I look at 1335 00:59:55,609 --> 00:59:54,480 this what are all of the white spots in 1336 00:59:56,750 --> 00:59:55,619 the background that we're seeing that 1337 00:59:59,569 --> 00:59:56,760 are stable 1338 01:00:01,549 --> 00:59:59,579 so those are these that's a star 1339 01:00:08,630 --> 01:00:01,559 background 1340 01:00:11,329 --> 01:00:08,640 now so you're looking at those planes 1341 01:00:13,089 --> 01:00:11,339 were roughly 1342 01:00:16,309 --> 01:00:13,099 um 1343 01:00:18,410 --> 01:00:16,319 30 to 40-ish miles away if I remember 1344 01:00:20,770 --> 01:00:18,420 correctly and when you see that smaller 1345 01:00:24,650 --> 01:00:20,780 plane that comes in at the bottom 1346 01:00:25,910 --> 01:00:24,660 uh that one was much much closer it was 1347 01:00:29,690 --> 01:00:25,920 like maybe 1348 01:00:33,470 --> 01:00:29,700 six to ten miles away 1349 01:00:38,230 --> 01:00:33,480 right and so the Jitter in the sensor is 1350 01:00:42,770 --> 01:00:41,089 right okay so the three spots because 1351 01:00:46,430 --> 01:00:42,780 they look like they're moving at about 1352 01:00:49,609 --> 01:00:46,440 the same right they are right and and if 1353 01:00:52,010 --> 01:00:49,619 they were flying together but they're 1354 01:00:55,190 --> 01:00:52,020 not is what I'm hearing they're in the 1355 01:00:57,109 --> 01:00:55,200 center they're in a flight line right so 1356 01:00:59,630 --> 01:00:57,119 they're equally spaced in a flight line 1357 01:01:05,650 --> 01:00:59,640 and the sensor is jittering thank you 1358 01:01:10,549 --> 01:01:08,030 hey if you go to your first slide if you 1359 01:01:13,670 --> 01:01:10,559 don't mind not the title slide but the 1360 01:01:16,069 --> 01:01:13,680 the trends the trends yeah 1361 01:01:17,809 --> 01:01:16,079 um it's the previous slide there you go 1362 01:01:19,010 --> 01:01:17,819 thank you so 1363 01:01:20,809 --> 01:01:19,020 I want to make sure I understand the 1364 01:01:22,490 --> 01:01:20,819 slide it says typically reported 1365 01:01:24,490 --> 01:01:22,500 characteristics and there are a bunch of 1366 01:01:28,130 --> 01:01:24,500 things here like for example size 1367 01:01:31,010 --> 01:01:28,140 altitude speed if it's being observed 1368 01:01:33,829 --> 01:01:31,020 from a single sensor 1369 01:01:35,210 --> 01:01:33,839 use the example of like the airplanes 1370 01:01:36,589 --> 01:01:35,220 that were coming in and if you don't 1371 01:01:38,390 --> 01:01:36,599 know how far away they are how do you 1372 01:01:39,829 --> 01:01:38,400 assess the size how do you assess the 1373 01:01:40,789 --> 01:01:39,839 speed 1374 01:01:43,250 --> 01:01:40,799 um 1375 01:01:45,470 --> 01:01:43,260 this is what people would report but it 1376 01:01:47,030 --> 01:01:45,480 isn't necessarily what is the real size 1377 01:01:49,549 --> 01:01:47,040 of the object or the speed or anything 1378 01:01:52,789 --> 01:01:49,559 do I understand that correctly 1379 01:01:55,490 --> 01:01:52,799 partially okay so you this is not all 1380 01:01:58,210 --> 01:01:55,500 single sensor observations some of these 1381 01:02:02,329 --> 01:01:58,220 are very much multi-sensor observations 1382 01:02:04,789 --> 01:02:02,339 and this is parameterized to cover the 1383 01:02:07,970 --> 01:02:04,799 range of things for any given parameter 1384 01:02:08,870 --> 01:02:07,980 the range of of what's possible and what 1385 01:02:12,049 --> 01:02:08,880 is 1386 01:02:14,990 --> 01:02:12,059 been observed okay and then on the next 1387 01:02:17,450 --> 01:02:15,000 Slide the one where you've got the or is 1388 01:02:19,250 --> 01:02:17,460 the meatball moving across the the 1389 01:02:20,089 --> 01:02:19,260 screen that one 1390 01:02:22,510 --> 01:02:20,099 um 1391 01:02:26,690 --> 01:02:22,520 so 1392 01:02:30,609 --> 01:02:26,700 was there any look at 1393 01:02:32,930 --> 01:02:30,619 sensor artifact data processing artifact 1394 01:02:34,970 --> 01:02:32,940 I mean 1395 01:02:37,130 --> 01:02:34,980 the first thing that whenever I say 1396 01:02:39,650 --> 01:02:37,140 anything that's an obelisk I look at how 1397 01:02:43,309 --> 01:02:39,660 is the data collected yeah 1398 01:02:45,770 --> 01:02:43,319 so yes these are these are so this is an 1399 01:02:49,809 --> 01:02:45,780 EO sensor on an MQ-9 1400 01:02:53,150 --> 01:02:49,819 and we understand that very very well 1401 01:03:02,829 --> 01:02:53,160 that is that is a real object 1402 01:03:09,349 --> 01:03:06,650 and you will also use AI techniques or 1403 01:03:12,230 --> 01:03:09,359 existing data sets or possibly some of 1404 01:03:14,569 --> 01:03:12,240 them open source can you explain a 1405 01:03:16,250 --> 01:03:14,579 little bit more what kind of AI ml 1406 01:03:19,849 --> 01:03:16,260 techniques you are using 1407 01:03:22,130 --> 01:03:19,859 um is about anomaly detection or using 1408 01:03:24,230 --> 01:03:22,140 anything related to mentality processing 1409 01:03:26,150 --> 01:03:24,240 or using anything related to computer 1410 01:03:28,490 --> 01:03:26,160 vision 1411 01:03:29,690 --> 01:03:28,500 so we're looking at a number of 1412 01:03:31,910 --> 01:03:29,700 different 1413 01:03:34,750 --> 01:03:31,920 capabilities that span I think a lot of 1414 01:03:37,849 --> 01:03:34,760 what you've just said so we've got 1415 01:03:39,890 --> 01:03:37,859 uh we haven't applied it yet we are 1416 01:03:42,410 --> 01:03:39,900 researching how we're going to apply it 1417 01:03:45,950 --> 01:03:42,420 so natural language processing for the 1418 01:03:48,650 --> 01:03:45,960 reports from Pilots absolutely all right 1419 01:03:51,530 --> 01:03:48,660 Target recognition so I can train a 1420 01:03:54,049 --> 01:03:51,540 model to look for that thing and go back 1421 01:03:57,049 --> 01:03:54,059 through all of our Holdings and go give 1422 01:03:58,370 --> 01:03:57,059 me how many of these you have right 1423 01:04:02,210 --> 01:03:58,380 and then try to figure out what those 1424 01:04:04,190 --> 01:04:02,220 are so I have not put anything out there 1425 01:04:06,890 --> 01:04:04,200 yet or have not looked at anything yet 1426 01:04:10,970 --> 01:04:06,900 for 1427 01:04:13,609 --> 01:04:10,980 um active targeting in real time because 1428 01:04:15,770 --> 01:04:13,619 I don't know exactly what I would train 1429 01:04:18,470 --> 01:04:15,780 it to go look for I just know what we 1430 01:04:21,230 --> 01:04:18,480 have so I want to get more confidence on 1431 01:04:24,349 --> 01:04:21,240 what we have before I go and do that 1432 01:04:26,329 --> 01:04:24,359 except for balloons right we're trying 1433 01:04:31,670 --> 01:04:26,339 to get rid of balloons as quickly as 1434 01:04:34,910 --> 01:04:33,650 so Sean I just wanted to begin by 1435 01:04:36,230 --> 01:04:34,920 thanking you for your service to this 1436 01:04:37,730 --> 01:04:36,240 nation and this committee you don't 1437 01:04:40,190 --> 01:04:37,740 exactly have the easiest job in 1438 01:04:41,930 --> 01:04:40,200 Washington no I do not appreciate it I'm 1439 01:04:44,809 --> 01:04:41,940 glad I don't recognize that 1440 01:04:46,730 --> 01:04:44,819 certainly do I also want to commend you 1441 01:04:49,069 --> 01:04:46,740 noting the international Partnerships 1442 01:04:50,690 --> 01:04:49,079 Spain just signed the Artemis Accords 1443 01:04:53,329 --> 01:04:50,700 yesterday the increasing the membership 1444 01:04:55,430 --> 01:04:53,339 to 25 I think that's a global 1445 01:04:58,250 --> 01:04:55,440 partnership that you could leverage only 1446 01:05:02,390 --> 01:04:58,260 170 more countries to go now everyone 1447 01:05:04,490 --> 01:05:02,400 signed up I just have two questions one 1448 01:05:08,510 --> 01:05:04,500 relative to what Nadia was asking about 1449 01:05:10,730 --> 01:05:08,520 the number of anomalous phenomena what 1450 01:05:12,470 --> 01:05:10,740 makes it anomalous in your view what is 1451 01:05:15,490 --> 01:05:12,480 the phenomenology where you're pulling 1452 01:05:17,870 --> 01:05:15,500 those cases out and saying this is truly 1453 01:05:20,089 --> 01:05:17,880 unexplained and then my second question 1454 01:05:22,730 --> 01:05:20,099 would be relative to the stigma how 1455 01:05:24,589 --> 01:05:22,740 damaging is that in your view and what 1456 01:05:27,470 --> 01:05:24,599 in particular do you think NASA can do 1457 01:05:28,970 --> 01:05:27,480 to help remedy the situation 1458 01:05:30,950 --> 01:05:28,980 that's a great question so I'm going to 1459 01:05:33,010 --> 01:05:30,960 take the second one first because I know 1460 01:05:35,690 --> 01:05:33,020 we're getting short on time 1461 01:05:38,510 --> 01:05:35,700 the the stigma has improved 1462 01:05:41,329 --> 01:05:38,520 significantly over the years since the 1463 01:05:42,589 --> 01:05:41,339 Navy first took this on um some years 1464 01:05:45,410 --> 01:05:42,599 ago 1465 01:05:48,730 --> 01:05:45,420 it is not gone and in fact I would argue 1466 01:05:51,349 --> 01:05:48,740 the stigma exists inside 1467 01:05:55,910 --> 01:05:51,359 the leadership of all of our our 1468 01:05:57,170 --> 01:05:55,920 buildings right wherever that is 1469 01:05:59,809 --> 01:05:57,180 um 1470 01:06:02,450 --> 01:05:59,819 uh my team and I have also been subject 1471 01:06:05,329 --> 01:06:02,460 to lots of harassment especially coming 1472 01:06:07,250 --> 01:06:05,339 out of my last hearing because people 1473 01:06:09,410 --> 01:06:07,260 don't understand the scientific method 1474 01:06:10,789 --> 01:06:09,420 and why it does why we have to do the 1475 01:06:12,890 --> 01:06:10,799 things we have to do 1476 01:06:15,410 --> 01:06:12,900 right and because we can't just come out 1477 01:06:17,690 --> 01:06:15,420 and say you know the greatest the 1478 01:06:19,370 --> 01:06:17,700 greatest thing that could happen to me 1479 01:06:21,710 --> 01:06:19,380 is I could come out and say hey I know 1480 01:06:24,170 --> 01:06:21,720 where all these things are here you go 1481 01:06:27,289 --> 01:06:24,180 right but I don't right and it's going 1482 01:06:28,069 --> 01:06:27,299 to take us time to research all that 1483 01:06:32,210 --> 01:06:28,079 um 1484 01:06:34,809 --> 01:06:32,220 when people want answers now and so they 1485 01:06:38,329 --> 01:06:34,819 are they're actually feeding the stigma 1486 01:06:40,970 --> 01:06:38,339 by by exhibiting that kind of behavior 1487 01:06:43,430 --> 01:06:40,980 to all of us right that is that is a bad 1488 01:06:46,010 --> 01:06:43,440 thing where can NASA help I made that 1489 01:06:48,109 --> 01:06:46,020 recommendation on NASA should lead the 1490 01:06:49,609 --> 01:06:48,119 scientific discourse we need to elevate 1491 01:06:51,349 --> 01:06:49,619 this conversation 1492 01:06:54,289 --> 01:06:51,359 all right we need to have this 1493 01:06:56,210 --> 01:06:54,299 conversation in an open environment like 1494 01:06:57,289 --> 01:06:56,220 this where we aren't going to get 1495 01:06:59,870 --> 01:06:57,299 harassed 1496 01:07:01,490 --> 01:06:59,880 because this is a hard problem that is a 1497 01:07:04,789 --> 01:07:01,500 hard target problem we need to 1498 01:07:07,609 --> 01:07:04,799 understand what is the things that are 1499 01:07:10,069 --> 01:07:07,619 in all of our domains Ace or air or 1500 01:07:12,710 --> 01:07:10,079 undersea and how do we make sense of 1501 01:07:18,829 --> 01:07:15,529 um your first question on what makes it 1502 01:07:21,049 --> 01:07:18,839 anomalous to me we actually developed 1503 01:07:22,849 --> 01:07:21,059 some definitions on all of these things 1504 01:07:24,589 --> 01:07:22,859 we gave it both to the White House and 1505 01:07:26,630 --> 01:07:24,599 to Congress I think we've got some of 1506 01:07:29,390 --> 01:07:26,640 that into law now but essentially 1507 01:07:30,490 --> 01:07:29,400 anomalous is anything that is not 1508 01:07:34,069 --> 01:07:30,500 readily 1509 01:07:37,430 --> 01:07:34,079 understandable by the operator or the 1510 01:07:42,170 --> 01:07:40,250 right so it is doing something weird 1511 01:07:45,109 --> 01:07:42,180 whether that's maneuvering 1512 01:07:48,289 --> 01:07:45,119 Against the Wind and Mach 2 with no 1513 01:07:48,950 --> 01:07:48,299 apparent propulsion or it's 1514 01:07:52,309 --> 01:07:48,960 um 1515 01:07:53,809 --> 01:07:52,319 going into the water which we have we 1516 01:07:55,910 --> 01:07:53,819 have shown is not the case that is 1517 01:07:58,309 --> 01:07:55,920 actually a sensor anomaly 1518 01:08:00,950 --> 01:07:58,319 um that we've now figured out and we're 1519 01:08:03,950 --> 01:08:00,960 going to be publishing all that 1520 01:08:08,569 --> 01:08:03,960 um you know those kinds of things 1521 01:08:11,150 --> 01:08:08,579 make anomalous signature uh we'll call 1522 01:08:12,349 --> 01:08:11,160 it signature management but it's things 1523 01:08:15,669 --> 01:08:12,359 that are 1524 01:08:20,390 --> 01:08:18,769 readily understandable in the context of 1525 01:08:21,410 --> 01:08:20,400 hey I've got a thing that's out in the 1526 01:08:23,329 --> 01:08:21,420 light 1527 01:08:24,169 --> 01:08:23,339 it should reflect a certain amount of 1528 01:08:25,789 --> 01:08:24,179 light 1529 01:08:29,749 --> 01:08:25,799 if it doesn't reflect that amount of 1530 01:08:32,870 --> 01:08:31,010 I think we have time for one last 1531 01:08:35,150 --> 01:08:32,880 question 1532 01:08:37,849 --> 01:08:35,160 John you recommended 1533 01:08:40,729 --> 01:08:37,859 foreign partnership with NASA I'm 1534 01:08:42,169 --> 01:08:40,739 curious especially given your map uh 1535 01:08:43,729 --> 01:08:42,179 have you as era partnered with 1536 01:08:47,689 --> 01:08:43,739 International agencies and those are 1537 01:08:49,610 --> 01:08:47,699 ways for re according to your 1538 01:08:51,950 --> 01:08:49,620 so that's that's a great question I want 1539 01:08:56,090 --> 01:08:51,960 to expound on that just a little bit so 1540 01:08:59,390 --> 01:08:56,100 I have just held uh our first five eyes 1541 01:09:01,610 --> 01:08:59,400 Forum on this subject 1542 01:09:04,550 --> 01:09:01,620 um last week I think it was or earlier 1543 01:09:06,110 --> 01:09:04,560 this week I don't know Dan was there uh 1544 01:09:08,630 --> 01:09:06,120 and we 1545 01:09:11,150 --> 01:09:08,640 have ex you know we've we've entered 1546 01:09:13,430 --> 01:09:11,160 into discussions with our partners on 1547 01:09:15,470 --> 01:09:13,440 data sharing how do they do reporting 1548 01:09:17,450 --> 01:09:15,480 what kind of analysis can they help us 1549 01:09:19,249 --> 01:09:17,460 with what kind of calibration can they 1550 01:09:21,650 --> 01:09:19,259 help us with what can we help them with 1551 01:09:23,150 --> 01:09:21,660 and we're establishing all of that right 1552 01:09:26,990 --> 01:09:23,160 now 1553 01:09:29,809 --> 01:09:27,000 sending their information and data to us 1554 01:09:31,970 --> 01:09:29,819 to feed into the process that we've laid 1555 01:09:34,010 --> 01:09:31,980 out for how we're going to to do all 1556 01:09:34,910 --> 01:09:34,020 this 1557 01:09:38,090 --> 01:09:34,920 um 1558 01:09:40,309 --> 01:09:38,100 beyond that I have not had either the 1559 01:09:43,550 --> 01:09:40,319 time or the bandwidth to do and that's 1560 01:09:45,249 --> 01:09:43,560 why I would look to NASA to expand the 1561 01:09:47,870 --> 01:09:45,259 scientific and and 1562 01:09:51,289 --> 01:09:47,880 academic relationships that they have 1563 01:09:54,470 --> 01:09:51,299 across all of our allies and partners on 1564 01:09:56,930 --> 01:09:54,480 how can we bring them into the fold 1565 01:10:01,010 --> 01:09:56,940 that's where I think there's a lot of 1566 01:10:06,770 --> 01:10:04,570 um great uh thank you but um one just 1567 01:10:09,950 --> 01:10:06,780 clarifications for people who don't know 1568 01:10:11,150 --> 01:10:09,960 what are the five eyes oh I'm sorry uh 1569 01:10:13,189 --> 01:10:11,160 for those of you that aren't familiar 1570 01:10:16,130 --> 01:10:13,199 with the five eyes those are uh that's 1571 01:10:17,990 --> 01:10:16,140 the UK Canada 1572 01:10:21,290 --> 01:10:18,000 um Australia New Zealand and the United 1573 01:10:31,910 --> 01:10:21,300 States so those are the five partners 1574 01:10:38,450 --> 01:10:33,950 so our next presentation is from Mike 1575 01:10:46,090 --> 01:10:38,460 free on from the FAA talking about the 1576 01:10:50,030 --> 01:10:48,350 would like to thank the panel for the 1577 01:10:52,370 --> 01:10:50,040 opportunity to come and give an overview 1578 01:10:55,850 --> 01:10:52,380 of the FAA and and some data points 1579 01:10:58,430 --> 01:10:55,860 around the faa's mission the data the fa 1580 01:11:00,950 --> 01:10:58,440 provides to provide the framing of what 1581 01:11:03,229 --> 01:11:00,960 are the surveillance systems that we can 1582 01:11:05,689 --> 01:11:03,239 bring to bear or there's data around 1583 01:11:07,790 --> 01:11:05,699 Those sensors as well as to frame the 1584 01:11:09,470 --> 01:11:07,800 limitations of those I know Sean talked 1585 01:11:11,630 --> 01:11:09,480 about some of the data points that uh 1586 01:11:12,770 --> 01:11:11,640 that are used and being integrated so 1587 01:11:15,350 --> 01:11:12,780 hopefully this will give you an overview 1588 01:11:18,649 --> 01:11:15,360 of the fa's mission as well as as well 1589 01:11:20,990 --> 01:11:18,659 as that they provide talking about I'd 1590 01:11:24,470 --> 01:11:21,000 like to think around the faa's mission 1591 01:11:25,910 --> 01:11:24,480 the data the fa provides to provide the 1592 01:11:28,610 --> 01:11:25,920 framing of what are the surveillance 1593 01:11:31,010 --> 01:11:28,620 systems that we can bring to bear or 1594 01:11:33,350 --> 01:11:31,020 there's data around Those sensors as 1595 01:11:34,970 --> 01:11:33,360 well as to frame the limitations of 1596 01:11:37,070 --> 01:11:34,980 those I know Sean talked about some of 1597 01:11:38,870 --> 01:11:37,080 the data points that uh that are used 1598 01:11:40,310 --> 01:11:38,880 and being integrated so hopefully this 1599 01:11:42,950 --> 01:11:40,320 will give you an overview of the fa's 1600 01:11:46,669 --> 01:11:42,960 mission as well as as well as those data 1601 01:11:52,490 --> 01:11:49,729 so the the fa's mission is is quite 1602 01:11:55,189 --> 01:11:52,500 large and complex by by a factor of two 1603 01:11:57,410 --> 01:11:55,199 we operate uh more commercial aircraft 1604 01:11:59,630 --> 01:11:57,420 than any other country I think we're 1605 01:12:01,490 --> 01:11:59,640 second only to Australia in total 1606 01:12:04,370 --> 01:12:01,500 airspace but largely because Australia 1607 01:12:06,709 --> 01:12:04,380 has a very large Oceanic volume that 1608 01:12:09,709 --> 01:12:06,719 they're responsible for for managing so 1609 01:12:11,090 --> 01:12:09,719 it is a very complex very large National 1610 01:12:13,070 --> 01:12:11,100 airspace system 1611 01:12:16,010 --> 01:12:13,080 uh we have four over fourteen thousand 1612 01:12:19,510 --> 01:12:16,020 controllers uh 520 Air Traffic Control 1613 01:12:23,149 --> 01:12:19,520 Towers which are located at the the 1614 01:12:24,890 --> 01:12:23,159 highest density of airports and I've 1615 01:12:26,630 --> 01:12:24,900 referred to those as towers and and 1616 01:12:29,990 --> 01:12:26,640 subsequent slides 1617 01:12:32,149 --> 01:12:30,000 we have 147 what we call terminal radar 1618 01:12:36,470 --> 01:12:32,159 approach controls or tracons and those 1619 01:12:38,510 --> 01:12:36,480 are manned control facilities at the 1620 01:12:41,149 --> 01:12:38,520 high and medium density airports around 1621 01:12:43,490 --> 01:12:41,159 the nation as well as 21 air Route 1622 01:12:45,709 --> 01:12:43,500 traffic control centers which are which 1623 01:12:47,450 --> 01:12:45,719 manage the control of air traffic in the 1624 01:12:50,990 --> 01:12:47,460 en route environment 1625 01:12:53,510 --> 01:12:51,000 there's 19 000 over 19 000 airports five 1626 01:12:56,149 --> 01:12:53,520 thousand over five thousand of those are 1627 01:12:58,970 --> 01:12:56,159 associated to public airports uh with 1628 01:13:00,830 --> 01:12:58,980 the remaining 14 000 plus private 1629 01:13:05,090 --> 01:13:00,840 airports 1630 01:13:10,850 --> 01:13:08,270 so the faa's mission is primarily around 1631 01:13:13,010 --> 01:13:10,860 safe and efficient control of manned 1632 01:13:14,990 --> 01:13:13,020 aircraft that has been our historical 1633 01:13:17,510 --> 01:13:15,000 Mission and it remains our primary 1634 01:13:19,850 --> 01:13:17,520 Mission uh certainly as we talk about a 1635 01:13:21,709 --> 01:13:19,860 new entrance with uas's and Advanced Air 1636 01:13:24,470 --> 01:13:21,719 mobility and some of those things there 1637 01:13:26,689 --> 01:13:24,480 will be an evolution of the fa's mission 1638 01:13:30,590 --> 01:13:26,699 to include safe operation of the nas 1639 01:13:33,229 --> 01:13:30,600 with those those new entrants but the 1640 01:13:35,870 --> 01:13:33,239 architecture and design of the Nas is is 1641 01:13:39,010 --> 01:13:35,880 geared around safe and efficient control 1642 01:13:42,530 --> 01:13:39,020 of aircraft and manned aircraft 1643 01:13:44,149 --> 01:13:42,540 the certainly the the commercial aspect 1644 01:13:45,890 --> 01:13:44,159 the commercial flights are a primary 1645 01:13:50,390 --> 01:13:45,900 focus of the agency we certainly support 1646 01:13:52,729 --> 01:13:50,400 general aviation and flights as well 1647 01:13:54,590 --> 01:13:52,739 um but again our mission is around main 1648 01:13:57,350 --> 01:13:54,600 aircraft and safe and an efficient 1649 01:14:01,370 --> 01:13:57,360 operation of those 1650 01:14:06,110 --> 01:14:01,380 um the uh by the Numbers over 16 million 1651 01:14:08,750 --> 01:14:06,120 flights yearly 5400 flights uh at Peak 1652 01:14:10,970 --> 01:14:08,760 any given at the peak time of any given 1653 01:14:14,990 --> 01:14:10,980 day uh 45 1654 01:14:18,669 --> 01:14:15,000 000 daily flights 25 million GA flight 1655 01:14:21,410 --> 01:14:18,679 hours per year a very large very complex 1656 01:14:24,229 --> 01:14:21,420 operation that that we're responsible 1657 01:14:26,390 --> 01:14:24,239 for managing I was certainly providing a 1658 01:14:28,550 --> 01:14:26,400 significant contribution to to that for 1659 01:14:32,750 --> 01:14:28,560 that service to to the nation in the 1660 01:14:36,770 --> 01:14:32,760 form of uh you know product toward a GDP 1661 01:14:41,750 --> 01:14:39,890 so as we get into the discussion of 1662 01:14:43,910 --> 01:14:41,760 surveillance Services I want to provide 1663 01:14:45,410 --> 01:14:43,920 a little bit of framework around the 1664 01:14:47,870 --> 01:14:45,420 categorization of our surveillance 1665 01:14:50,630 --> 01:14:47,880 services and we primarily break those 1666 01:14:52,970 --> 01:14:50,640 into two two bodies The Cooperative 1667 01:14:55,490 --> 01:14:52,980 surveillance which is defined by an a 1668 01:14:57,530 --> 01:14:55,500 sensor that's avionics or equipment on 1669 01:15:00,950 --> 01:14:57,540 board the aircraft that works in 1670 01:15:03,649 --> 01:15:00,960 conjunction with ground-based sensors 1671 01:15:05,510 --> 01:15:03,659 the non-cooperative surveillance is 1672 01:15:07,790 --> 01:15:05,520 independent this is basically the 1673 01:15:10,610 --> 01:15:07,800 classic radar RF energy is transmitted 1674 01:15:12,410 --> 01:15:10,620 out reflects off the Target and we 1675 01:15:14,510 --> 01:15:12,420 receive that signal and from that return 1676 01:15:16,610 --> 01:15:14,520 we can determine where that their their 1677 01:15:18,709 --> 01:15:16,620 that aircraft is 1678 01:15:20,510 --> 01:15:18,719 typically these cooperative and 1679 01:15:23,209 --> 01:15:20,520 non-cooperative sensors are co-located 1680 01:15:25,729 --> 01:15:23,219 together uh one The Cooperative amounted 1681 01:15:27,470 --> 01:15:25,739 on top of the non-cooperative radar 1682 01:15:30,050 --> 01:15:27,480 so for the purpose from a data 1683 01:15:32,689 --> 01:15:30,060 perspective I think in this panel in the 1684 01:15:36,290 --> 01:15:32,699 study I I think that the Cooperative 1685 01:15:39,530 --> 01:15:36,300 sensors those are neither unknown or 1686 01:15:41,149 --> 01:15:39,540 anomalous so for the purposes of this 1687 01:15:43,189 --> 01:15:41,159 this briefing or the rest of this 1688 01:15:46,130 --> 01:15:43,199 briefing I'm going to focus on the the 1689 01:15:50,570 --> 01:15:46,140 non-cooperative aspect 1690 01:15:56,510 --> 01:15:54,169 so the again from the standpoint of the 1691 01:15:58,669 --> 01:15:56,520 mission of the FAA around it again is is 1692 01:16:00,350 --> 01:15:58,679 primarily around demand aircraft and I 1693 01:16:03,169 --> 01:16:00,360 think that serves as an important 1694 01:16:04,729 --> 01:16:03,179 framework for the data points and the 1695 01:16:06,590 --> 01:16:04,739 type of data that we can bring to bear 1696 01:16:09,410 --> 01:16:06,600 for this panel 1697 01:16:10,930 --> 01:16:09,420 so we break our our systems and the 1698 01:16:13,310 --> 01:16:10,940 design of the systems into different 1699 01:16:16,149 --> 01:16:13,320 types of systems so we have short range 1700 01:16:20,090 --> 01:16:16,159 Radars which are typically located at 1701 01:16:22,370 --> 01:16:20,100 the high and medium density airports and 1702 01:16:24,410 --> 01:16:22,380 those operate from a range I have a 1703 01:16:26,810 --> 01:16:24,420 detection range between 40 and 60 miles 1704 01:16:29,270 --> 01:16:26,820 and an altitude detection capability of 1705 01:16:31,790 --> 01:16:29,280 about 24 000 feet 1706 01:16:33,770 --> 01:16:31,800 the long-range radar systems have a 1707 01:16:37,430 --> 01:16:33,780 detection range of 2 to 250 nautical 1708 01:16:39,530 --> 01:16:37,440 miles with altitude detection up to 100 1709 01:16:42,290 --> 01:16:39,540 000 feet so that provides the basic the 1710 01:16:44,870 --> 01:16:42,300 framework for for those I will mention 1711 01:16:47,689 --> 01:16:44,880 the automatic dependence surveillance 1712 01:16:50,390 --> 01:16:47,699 broadcaster adsb only from a context 1713 01:16:52,550 --> 01:16:50,400 that that does serve as a primary data 1714 01:16:53,930 --> 01:16:52,560 source and a preferred data source for 1715 01:16:56,630 --> 01:16:53,940 the management of the airspace system 1716 01:16:58,790 --> 01:16:56,640 but it is a Cooperative system and for 1717 01:17:00,470 --> 01:16:58,800 the purposes of the next slides as I get 1718 01:17:03,050 --> 01:17:00,480 into the discussion of the coverage and 1719 01:17:05,630 --> 01:17:03,060 the type of detection for those 1720 01:17:08,149 --> 01:17:05,640 non-cooperative targets it is not 1721 01:17:11,450 --> 01:17:08,159 considered as part of those 1722 01:17:12,890 --> 01:17:11,460 and also surface surveillance is also 1723 01:17:14,930 --> 01:17:12,900 something that we provide but again for 1724 01:17:16,189 --> 01:17:14,940 the purpose of the study I only include 1725 01:17:19,490 --> 01:17:16,199 those for just a completeness 1726 01:17:25,610 --> 01:17:22,370 the one final Point as I talk about 1727 01:17:28,189 --> 01:17:25,620 manned aircraft and primary mission 1728 01:17:30,470 --> 01:17:28,199 for the 1729 01:17:33,590 --> 01:17:30,480 drones and balloons and things of that 1730 01:17:36,110 --> 01:17:33,600 nature their basic premise is to operate 1731 01:17:37,729 --> 01:17:36,120 in a not to interfere basis that they 1732 01:17:40,250 --> 01:17:37,739 are not to interfere with manned 1733 01:17:42,649 --> 01:17:40,260 operations and that's that's a 1734 01:17:44,870 --> 01:17:42,659 fundamental aspect as we talk to the 1735 01:17:47,990 --> 01:17:44,880 data and what we can and can detect with 1736 01:17:49,970 --> 01:17:48,000 respect to those non-band non-man 1737 01:17:53,750 --> 01:17:49,980 systems 1738 01:17:57,669 --> 01:17:55,910 realizing this is an eye chart this I 1739 01:18:00,410 --> 01:17:57,679 would wanted to provide just a a 1740 01:18:02,750 --> 01:18:00,420 graphical or pictorial depiction of 1741 01:18:06,410 --> 01:18:02,760 where our sensors are located 1742 01:18:07,430 --> 01:18:06,420 the green blue and pink balloons if you 1743 01:18:09,950 --> 01:18:07,440 will 1744 01:18:13,490 --> 01:18:09,960 uh represent our short range Radars 1745 01:18:16,550 --> 01:18:13,500 those are are located at airports those 1746 01:18:20,149 --> 01:18:16,560 are where those are are cited 1747 01:18:22,610 --> 01:18:20,159 the uh the two reddish balloons they 1748 01:18:25,010 --> 01:18:22,620 have letters in them a four and a c 1749 01:18:27,890 --> 01:18:25,020 those represent our long-range Radars 1750 01:18:31,070 --> 01:18:27,900 the rc4s and Karcher systems that are 1751 01:18:32,870 --> 01:18:31,080 used in in the context of both from an 1752 01:18:35,030 --> 01:18:32,880 air traffic control perspective as well 1753 01:18:37,370 --> 01:18:35,040 as for a National Defense and Homeland 1754 01:18:39,130 --> 01:18:37,380 Security mission 1755 01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:39,140 and the the 1756 01:18:43,370 --> 01:18:42,060 perimeter the Archer fours are located 1757 01:18:45,709 --> 01:18:43,380 around the perimeter of the country 1758 01:18:49,330 --> 01:18:45,719 equally spaced and the karcer systems 1759 01:18:52,370 --> 01:18:49,340 are located on the interior of of the US 1760 01:18:55,850 --> 01:18:52,380 I will point out that this only depicts 1761 01:18:57,169 --> 01:18:55,860 the conus there are systems atcs both 1762 01:19:02,090 --> 01:18:57,179 short-range and long-range systems 1763 01:19:04,250 --> 01:19:02,100 Hawaii Alaska and Caribbean those are 1764 01:19:07,310 --> 01:19:04,260 not depicted here I don't think they're 1765 01:19:09,709 --> 01:19:07,320 necessary for the uh the purpose of 1766 01:19:11,930 --> 01:19:09,719 understanding the surveillance and I 1767 01:19:13,610 --> 01:19:11,940 will also point out that both for this 1768 01:19:16,610 --> 01:19:13,620 slide and the subsequent coverage slide 1769 01:19:21,050 --> 01:19:16,620 we I do not talk to any classified DOD 1770 01:19:28,010 --> 01:19:21,060 or DHA systems than an operation 1771 01:19:34,550 --> 01:19:30,890 so what it is what can the fa detect and 1772 01:19:38,030 --> 01:19:34,560 surveil what can can we not this slide 1773 01:19:39,590 --> 01:19:38,040 gives you a buy altitude slice of what 1774 01:19:41,630 --> 01:19:39,600 it is that we can detect so if you look 1775 01:19:43,550 --> 01:19:41,640 at the the 1776 01:19:44,810 --> 01:19:43,560 Square that's labeled a thousand foot 1777 01:19:48,169 --> 01:19:44,820 AGL 1778 01:19:50,750 --> 01:19:48,179 that depicts by sensor for an aircraft 1779 01:19:53,090 --> 01:19:50,760 that is a thousand feet in altitude what 1780 01:19:54,410 --> 01:19:53,100 is the range at which we can detect that 1781 01:19:57,110 --> 01:19:54,420 aircraft 1782 01:19:59,030 --> 01:19:57,120 and so on as you you get higher in 1783 01:20:02,209 --> 01:19:59,040 altitude 1784 01:20:03,709 --> 01:20:02,219 detect it at further range and that's 1785 01:20:05,030 --> 01:20:03,719 basically a phenomenon of the curvature 1786 01:20:08,030 --> 01:20:05,040 of the earth and the line of sight 1787 01:20:10,550 --> 01:20:08,040 aspect of these these radar systems so 1788 01:20:14,450 --> 01:20:10,560 pretty good coverage across the the us 1789 01:20:17,450 --> 01:20:14,460 at 10 000 feet and above 1790 01:20:19,669 --> 01:20:17,460 this is a mathematical model based of a 1791 01:20:21,290 --> 01:20:19,679 pure line of sight as well as some 1792 01:20:23,570 --> 01:20:21,300 geographical screening as you can see in 1793 01:20:25,250 --> 01:20:23,580 the western part of the U.S there are 1794 01:20:29,090 --> 01:20:25,260 there is screening and due to the 1795 01:20:34,130 --> 01:20:30,649 need to take a little bit of time and 1796 01:20:36,910 --> 01:20:34,140 talk about the the nature of the targets 1797 01:20:40,910 --> 01:20:36,920 these line of sight models 1798 01:20:43,189 --> 01:20:40,920 represent an input of a Target that is 1799 01:20:45,590 --> 01:20:43,199 one square meter so think of a sphere of 1800 01:20:47,330 --> 01:20:45,600 one meter in diameter that's the 1801 01:20:49,010 --> 01:20:47,340 assumption that goes into these models 1802 01:20:51,770 --> 01:20:49,020 so if you think about that in the 1803 01:20:55,130 --> 01:20:51,780 context of other forms or aircraft a 1804 01:20:56,689 --> 01:20:55,140 fourth generation F-15 or F-18 is in the 1805 01:20:59,270 --> 01:20:56,699 product proximity of about one square 1806 01:21:01,970 --> 01:20:59,280 meter perhaps a little bit larger a 1807 01:21:02,990 --> 01:21:01,980 large airliner is perhaps a 100 square 1808 01:21:05,570 --> 01:21:03,000 meters 1809 01:21:08,350 --> 01:21:05,580 a small uas 1810 01:21:12,709 --> 01:21:08,360 is perhaps 1811 01:21:14,870 --> 01:21:12,719 one or a 0.01 square meter so the range 1812 01:21:16,850 --> 01:21:14,880 of these detections or the or the size 1813 01:21:21,530 --> 01:21:16,860 and the ability to check these targets 1814 01:21:24,350 --> 01:21:21,540 from an F-15 large airliner 100 times 1815 01:21:27,189 --> 01:21:24,360 larger in size a drone a hundred times 1816 01:21:29,750 --> 01:21:27,199 smaller in size so the detection 1817 01:21:32,149 --> 01:21:29,760 of and the surveillance capability 1818 01:21:33,830 --> 01:21:32,159 really largely depends in part to the 1819 01:21:37,669 --> 01:21:33,840 the Target that we're talking about and 1820 01:21:37,679 --> 01:21:43,250 all right next slide 1821 01:21:49,550 --> 01:21:47,090 so I do include this adsb coverage slide 1822 01:21:51,890 --> 01:21:49,560 just to give a context of from a 1823 01:21:55,250 --> 01:21:51,900 Cooperative perspective there is very 1824 01:21:57,950 --> 01:21:55,260 good coverage across the U.S to a 1825 01:22:00,770 --> 01:21:57,960 thousand uh 1 500 feet above ground 1826 01:22:02,870 --> 01:22:00,780 level so this provided context of what 1827 01:22:04,370 --> 01:22:02,880 when we look at the data and start 1828 01:22:06,470 --> 01:22:04,380 getting a discussion of what it is we 1829 01:22:09,890 --> 01:22:06,480 can detect this will certainly for those 1830 01:22:11,750 --> 01:22:09,900 Cooperative aircraft that have adsp we 1831 01:22:14,209 --> 01:22:11,760 could certainly detect those to a pretty 1832 01:22:17,570 --> 01:22:14,219 a pretty low altitude across across the 1833 01:22:21,830 --> 01:22:19,790 all right a couple of data points I 1834 01:22:23,390 --> 01:22:21,840 think um I know Sean certainly talked 1835 01:22:25,729 --> 01:22:23,400 about some of the data points and I can 1836 01:22:27,550 --> 01:22:25,739 provide a little bit of insight uh from 1837 01:22:30,890 --> 01:22:27,560 an fa perspective 1838 01:22:34,250 --> 01:22:30,900 drones drones are a pretty significant 1839 01:22:36,610 --> 01:22:34,260 challenge there's 880 000 registered 1840 01:22:40,010 --> 01:22:36,620 drones in the US 1841 01:22:42,110 --> 01:22:40,020 small drones I should say part 107 1842 01:22:43,970 --> 01:22:42,120 drones 1843 01:22:46,850 --> 01:22:43,980 um many tens of thousands of those are 1844 01:22:49,310 --> 01:22:46,860 operate operated on a daily basis uh for 1845 01:22:51,649 --> 01:22:49,320 by commercial operators it's not clear 1846 01:22:53,630 --> 01:22:51,659 how many private drone operators are 1847 01:22:55,669 --> 01:22:53,640 taking they're they're drawn up for a 1848 01:22:57,229 --> 01:22:55,679 quick flight 1849 01:22:58,729 --> 01:22:57,239 um but as I said earlier those are 1850 01:23:04,189 --> 01:22:58,739 regulated 1851 01:23:07,910 --> 01:23:04,199 400 feet in altitude so again it's the 1852 01:23:10,310 --> 01:23:07,920 Drone aspect is for those small drones 1853 01:23:12,729 --> 01:23:10,320 in particular and as well as all of all 1854 01:23:14,870 --> 01:23:12,739 classes of drones there are regulatory 1855 01:23:17,149 --> 01:23:14,880 restrictions to where they can and 1856 01:23:18,830 --> 01:23:17,159 cannot fly basically avoiding and not 1857 01:23:22,070 --> 01:23:18,840 interfering with manned aircraft 1858 01:23:26,330 --> 01:23:23,750 second data point we talked about 1859 01:23:28,729 --> 01:23:26,340 balloons uh The Weather Service we know 1860 01:23:31,790 --> 01:23:28,739 on 190 or 92 weather stations they're 1861 01:23:35,870 --> 01:23:31,800 released balloons twice a day it's at 6 1862 01:23:38,209 --> 01:23:35,880 a.m and and uh zero zero hundred Zulu 1863 01:23:40,189 --> 01:23:38,219 and 1200 Zulu 1864 01:23:42,229 --> 01:23:40,199 um typically two-hour duration they fly 1865 01:23:45,050 --> 01:23:42,239 up to 100 000 feet where the envelope 1866 01:23:47,930 --> 01:23:45,060 bursts and and then the payload uh 1867 01:23:49,970 --> 01:23:47,940 descends back back to Earth so certainly 1868 01:23:52,550 --> 01:23:49,980 um you know 100 at least 184 balloon 1869 01:23:54,830 --> 01:23:52,560 flights daily uh in the nas you know not 1870 01:23:56,570 --> 01:23:54,840 to consider universities and hobbyist 1871 01:24:00,350 --> 01:23:56,580 balloons that that may be launched but 1872 01:24:03,410 --> 01:24:00,360 those are typically small small in size 1873 01:24:06,229 --> 01:24:03,420 and finally uh Sean did talk about uaps 1874 01:24:08,270 --> 01:24:06,239 and NFA data a couple of data points 1875 01:24:09,910 --> 01:24:08,280 that we do report there is a process by 1876 01:24:15,470 --> 01:24:09,920 which air traffic controllers can report 1877 01:24:17,030 --> 01:24:15,480 uh UAP sightings or or events uh 1878 01:24:19,669 --> 01:24:17,040 historically those have been in the 1879 01:24:22,610 --> 01:24:19,679 range of about three to five reports per 1880 01:24:27,189 --> 01:24:22,620 month that have been reported uh we did 1881 01:24:29,630 --> 01:24:27,199 see an uptick of of reports in August 22 1882 01:24:31,790 --> 01:24:29,640 that went up to about eight to ten 1883 01:24:33,070 --> 01:24:31,800 perhaps due to startling starlink 1884 01:24:35,450 --> 01:24:33,080 launches 1885 01:24:38,209 --> 01:24:35,460 and finally the 1886 01:24:40,370 --> 01:24:38,219 with a Chinese weather or the Chinese 1887 01:24:42,290 --> 01:24:40,380 balloon incident in February we did see 1888 01:24:45,890 --> 01:24:42,300 a significant up tip an uptick and 1889 01:24:48,229 --> 01:24:45,900 there's like 68 UAP reports 1890 01:24:49,610 --> 01:24:48,239 um that that started in February and 1891 01:24:52,790 --> 01:24:49,620 we've seen a large number you know 1892 01:24:55,550 --> 01:24:52,800 subsequent two then to that 1893 01:24:58,010 --> 01:24:55,560 I think that's all I had 1894 01:24:59,930 --> 01:24:58,020 um any questions 1895 01:25:01,790 --> 01:24:59,940 do you want to take the question it's 1896 01:25:04,570 --> 01:25:01,800 easy actually you can choose the 1897 01:25:07,070 --> 01:25:04,580 questioners it's easy for you all right 1898 01:25:09,830 --> 01:25:07,080 yeah so two questions two questions 1899 01:25:12,590 --> 01:25:09,840 about the uh the radar data coverage 1900 01:25:14,450 --> 01:25:12,600 first one is do you retain any of the 1901 01:25:15,110 --> 01:25:14,460 data or is it 1902 01:25:17,810 --> 01:25:15,120 um 1903 01:25:20,450 --> 01:25:17,820 just cycled over as there is a retention 1904 01:25:22,310 --> 01:25:20,460 in long-term retention of data I can't 1905 01:25:24,229 --> 01:25:22,320 recall exactly how long retained that 1906 01:25:28,130 --> 01:25:24,239 there's certainly a requirement from uh 1907 01:25:30,590 --> 01:25:28,140 uh retention from a like legal 1908 01:25:32,750 --> 01:25:30,600 perspective exactly 1909 01:25:34,669 --> 01:25:32,760 um but I do know there is some 1910 01:25:36,830 --> 01:25:34,679 periodicities in a measured and 1911 01:25:39,890 --> 01:25:36,840 determined months is it retained in 1912 01:25:41,810 --> 01:25:39,900 terms of like the raw radar or is some 1913 01:25:43,850 --> 01:25:41,820 processed form of state of this retained 1914 01:25:46,490 --> 01:25:43,860 I believe it's a process form of data 1915 01:25:48,830 --> 01:25:46,500 that is what was displayed on the uh 1916 01:25:50,990 --> 01:25:48,840 whether it's in an Indian root eram 1917 01:25:53,390 --> 01:25:51,000 system or the star system and then the 1918 01:25:55,610 --> 01:25:53,400 other question is for The Radars 1919 01:25:58,790 --> 01:25:55,620 um are they operated in any sort of a 1920 01:26:01,250 --> 01:25:58,800 tasked mode or are they constant search 1921 01:26:03,290 --> 01:26:01,260 the current systems in our inventory 1922 01:26:06,229 --> 01:26:03,300 just they're they're fixed face and they 1923 01:26:08,030 --> 01:26:06,239 just rotate at either 12 RPM or 5 RPM 1924 01:26:10,010 --> 01:26:08,040 depending on whether it's an enroute or 1925 01:26:12,890 --> 01:26:10,020 a terminal surveillance thanks 1926 01:26:21,070 --> 01:26:12,900 requirement all right next question I 1927 01:26:26,930 --> 01:26:23,870 that is three to five reports per month 1928 01:26:29,330 --> 01:26:26,940 for all the controllers in all of the US 1929 01:26:30,590 --> 01:26:29,340 so there's a process by which if they 1930 01:26:33,110 --> 01:26:30,600 see something and they want to report 1931 01:26:36,890 --> 01:26:33,120 that they can go to report that to the 1932 01:26:38,209 --> 01:26:36,900 the then we call it but uh report hey I 1933 01:26:40,850 --> 01:26:38,219 saw something I don't know what it was 1934 01:26:43,790 --> 01:26:40,860 so it's three to five per month across 1935 01:26:45,410 --> 01:26:43,800 the entire 14 000 controllers 1936 01:26:47,629 --> 01:26:45,420 per month so 1937 01:26:50,330 --> 01:26:47,639 you know 45 1938 01:26:52,610 --> 01:26:50,340 000 operations any given day 1939 01:26:53,990 --> 01:26:52,620 30 months 30 days however many days in a 1940 01:26:56,330 --> 01:26:54,000 month you know it's a very small 1941 01:26:59,390 --> 01:26:56,340 percentage 1942 01:27:02,689 --> 01:26:59,400 okay uh can you describe actually about 1943 01:27:05,330 --> 01:27:02,699 this how do you do you encourage uh to 1944 01:27:08,590 --> 01:27:05,340 report do you feel like the stigma on 1945 01:27:11,930 --> 01:27:08,600 uaps is impairing the reporting 1946 01:27:13,729 --> 01:27:11,940 I'm not aware of 1947 01:27:17,450 --> 01:27:13,739 I'll answer it this way 1948 01:27:19,850 --> 01:27:17,460 um the the process by which UAP is 1949 01:27:21,950 --> 01:27:19,860 reported is part of the air traffic 1950 01:27:23,629 --> 01:27:21,960 controller order so basically the Air 1951 01:27:25,189 --> 01:27:23,639 Drive controllers are allowed it says 1952 01:27:26,990 --> 01:27:25,199 you know if you see something here's a 1953 01:27:29,330 --> 01:27:27,000 process by which the procedure by which 1954 01:27:32,629 --> 01:27:29,340 you would report it other than that I'm 1955 01:27:36,709 --> 01:27:32,639 not aware of any any specific stigma or 1956 01:27:38,870 --> 01:27:36,719 or limitations and I really probably not 1957 01:27:40,610 --> 01:27:38,880 in a good position to you know to speak 1958 01:27:42,669 --> 01:27:40,620 to that other than there is that process 1959 01:27:45,649 --> 01:27:42,679 and that is the process that we use and 1960 01:27:47,810 --> 01:27:45,659 is what represents those numbers I talk 1961 01:27:50,629 --> 01:27:47,820 to and if I may have had a question 1962 01:27:52,729 --> 01:27:50,639 prior to this one how do you uh decide 1963 01:27:54,890 --> 01:27:52,739 the sites where you deploy you saw the 1964 01:27:56,689 --> 01:27:54,900 map and it has some very good coverage 1965 01:27:58,790 --> 01:27:56,699 on the coastal areas there were some 1966 01:28:00,950 --> 01:27:58,800 areas of lack of coverage yeah so if we 1967 01:28:03,890 --> 01:28:00,960 want if you go back go back one slide 1968 01:28:06,470 --> 01:28:03,900 from what's presented here 1969 01:28:08,930 --> 01:28:06,480 um the what you'll see is in the eastern 1970 01:28:11,209 --> 01:28:08,940 half of the U.S there's a lot better 1971 01:28:13,189 --> 01:28:11,219 coverage but that's because there's a 1972 01:28:15,169 --> 01:28:13,199 lot more population in the East and 1973 01:28:17,990 --> 01:28:15,179 therefore a lot more airports and these 1974 01:28:19,550 --> 01:28:18,000 systems are historically cited at the 1975 01:28:22,250 --> 01:28:19,560 airport in support of those those 1976 01:28:25,370 --> 01:28:22,260 airport operations to the West obviously 1977 01:28:29,090 --> 01:28:25,380 oops to less less dense and fewer 1978 01:28:31,729 --> 01:28:29,100 systems now the that's from an ASR the 1979 01:28:33,950 --> 01:28:31,739 short range radar perspective the 1980 01:28:36,530 --> 01:28:33,960 long-range Radars are pretty much 1981 01:28:38,390 --> 01:28:36,540 equally spaced to provide in order to 1982 01:28:40,490 --> 01:28:38,400 provide the maximum coverage from a 1983 01:28:43,790 --> 01:28:40,500 Homeland defense and security 1984 01:28:45,970 --> 01:28:43,800 perspective as well as with a higher 1985 01:28:52,189 --> 01:28:45,980 altitude flights the en route 1986 01:28:56,330 --> 01:28:53,390 Warren 1987 01:28:58,070 --> 01:28:56,340 uh Mike first thank you in the fa for 1988 01:29:00,050 --> 01:28:58,080 coming to share this information with us 1989 01:29:02,090 --> 01:29:00,060 second uh can you speak to a little bit 1990 01:29:04,550 --> 01:29:02,100 uh of the filtering techniques that we 1991 01:29:05,870 --> 01:29:04,560 use so with respect to I know Walter had 1992 01:29:07,310 --> 01:29:05,880 a question about the raw data and 1993 01:29:09,410 --> 01:29:07,320 process but can you just talk a little 1994 01:29:10,790 --> 01:29:09,420 bit about we actually aren't trying to 1995 01:29:12,169 --> 01:29:10,800 detect everything you know that's 1996 01:29:14,030 --> 01:29:12,179 actually a very good question and a very 1997 01:29:17,810 --> 01:29:14,040 good point with respect to what we can 1998 01:29:19,850 --> 01:29:17,820 and cannot see so um there are you know 1999 01:29:22,729 --> 01:29:19,860 the closer to the ground you point a 2000 01:29:25,310 --> 01:29:22,739 radar uh certainly you can get lower 2001 01:29:27,649 --> 01:29:25,320 elevations but you also start to see the 2002 01:29:30,110 --> 01:29:27,659 effects of trees and other ground-based 2003 01:29:32,030 --> 01:29:30,120 clutter as we call it that starts to 2004 01:29:34,370 --> 01:29:32,040 interfere so we have great ability to 2005 01:29:37,189 --> 01:29:34,380 detect a lot of things but but from an 2006 01:29:39,050 --> 01:29:37,199 fa Mission perspective our desire is to 2007 01:29:41,149 --> 01:29:39,060 find that sweet spot of seeing 2008 01:29:42,790 --> 01:29:41,159 everything to as low in altitude as we 2009 01:29:45,830 --> 01:29:42,800 can 2010 01:29:47,870 --> 01:29:45,840 to maximize our mission around safe 2011 01:29:49,610 --> 01:29:47,880 operations of manned aircraft 2012 01:29:51,350 --> 01:29:49,620 now to pull that thread just a little 2013 01:29:53,510 --> 01:29:51,360 bit further you know there's also 2014 01:29:55,610 --> 01:29:53,520 limitation with respect to Biologicals 2015 01:29:58,970 --> 01:29:55,620 or or insects and dust and things of 2016 01:30:01,669 --> 01:29:58,980 this this flavor that uh most aircraft 2017 01:30:04,129 --> 01:30:01,679 Fly Above a certain speed so we 2018 01:30:07,790 --> 01:30:04,139 typically will have uh filtering 2019 01:30:09,410 --> 01:30:07,800 settings on our systems to get rid of 2020 01:30:11,990 --> 01:30:09,420 the stuff that really is leaves or 2021 01:30:15,590 --> 01:30:12,000 insects or things of that nature so that 2022 01:30:17,810 --> 01:30:15,600 we provide as clean a a display for the 2023 01:30:20,390 --> 01:30:17,820 controllers so there are specific 2024 01:30:22,430 --> 01:30:20,400 settings that we we can can adjust and 2025 01:30:25,129 --> 01:30:22,440 it's been learned over many years to 2026 01:30:28,070 --> 01:30:25,139 perfect those what we call optimization 2027 01:30:29,930 --> 01:30:28,080 of those kinds of filters to get rid of 2028 01:30:32,750 --> 01:30:29,940 what is not a manned aircraft not an 2029 01:30:35,209 --> 01:30:32,760 aircraft and and provide as clean a 2030 01:30:37,790 --> 01:30:35,219 display for the controllers as we can 2031 01:30:42,290 --> 01:30:40,010 yeah please thanks 2032 01:30:44,030 --> 01:30:42,300 um thank you thanks for the presentation 2033 01:30:44,990 --> 01:30:44,040 um would it be kind of fun what you said 2034 01:30:47,270 --> 01:30:45,000 Warren 2035 01:30:49,729 --> 01:30:47,280 um would it be possible to 2036 01:30:51,649 --> 01:30:49,739 um to collect the raw data and to save 2037 01:30:53,810 --> 01:30:51,659 that because if if it would be possible 2038 01:30:55,850 --> 01:30:53,820 to do some calibration after the fact 2039 01:30:57,169 --> 01:30:55,860 that Sean was mentioning for example you 2040 01:30:59,750 --> 01:30:57,179 might be to capture other phenomenology 2041 01:31:01,129 --> 01:30:59,760 is that possible well when you say raw 2042 01:31:03,290 --> 01:31:01,139 data I think you'd have we'd have to 2043 01:31:06,169 --> 01:31:03,300 talk a little bit about what is meant um 2044 01:31:09,350 --> 01:31:06,179 so you know what from a technical 2045 01:31:13,250 --> 01:31:09,360 perspective pure what we would call inq 2046 01:31:17,149 --> 01:31:13,260 data is huge huge you know gigabyte very 2047 01:31:19,070 --> 01:31:17,159 very very large volumes of data that 2048 01:31:21,890 --> 01:31:19,080 would probably be uh cost prohibitive 2049 01:31:26,149 --> 01:31:21,900 and we certainly don't do that today 2050 01:31:28,129 --> 01:31:26,159 um the there are again we do record data 2051 01:31:29,870 --> 01:31:28,139 but it is effectively the data that is 2052 01:31:31,910 --> 01:31:29,880 has been through some form of these 2053 01:31:34,129 --> 01:31:31,920 processes in these filterings we do that 2054 01:31:36,770 --> 01:31:34,139 today 2055 01:31:38,330 --> 01:31:36,780 um but it it certainly with enough time 2056 01:31:39,950 --> 01:31:38,340 and money we could certainly collect 2057 01:31:42,410 --> 01:31:39,960 that data and I think it but it would be 2058 01:31:44,570 --> 01:31:42,420 a we'd have to look at the challenge of 2059 01:31:46,550 --> 01:31:44,580 in of how we would go about modifying 2060 01:31:48,649 --> 01:31:46,560 the systems or introducing new ways to 2061 01:31:50,270 --> 01:31:48,659 collect that that raw data as you as you 2062 01:31:52,370 --> 01:31:50,280 described certainly it's feasible it's 2063 01:31:53,450 --> 01:31:52,380 possible but it's not without technical 2064 01:31:56,930 --> 01:31:53,460 challenge 2065 01:31:58,729 --> 01:31:56,940 yes 184 balloon flights daily are those 2066 01:32:00,470 --> 01:31:58,739 characterized or they just you just know 2067 01:32:02,209 --> 01:32:00,480 they do that and then they end up where 2068 01:32:04,370 --> 01:32:02,219 they are so under the balloon I'll call 2069 01:32:06,649 --> 01:32:04,380 it part 101 the regulations for balloons 2070 01:32:08,450 --> 01:32:06,659 there's very specific requirements so 2071 01:32:09,950 --> 01:32:08,460 for National Weather Service before they 2072 01:32:12,290 --> 01:32:09,960 release those they'll contact the local 2073 01:32:13,669 --> 01:32:12,300 Air Traffic facility they're going to 2074 01:32:15,709 --> 01:32:13,679 say here's what time I'm going to 2075 01:32:17,870 --> 01:32:15,719 release it and when they release it they 2076 01:32:20,750 --> 01:32:17,880 have tracking and they provide that 2077 01:32:24,470 --> 01:32:20,760 tracking to the air traffic control 2078 01:32:26,209 --> 01:32:24,480 facility throughout the flight of of you 2079 01:32:27,950 --> 01:32:26,219 know that particular blend there are 2080 01:32:29,810 --> 01:32:27,960 commercial balloons that are also 2081 01:32:32,689 --> 01:32:29,820 launched but those most for the most 2082 01:32:35,390 --> 01:32:32,699 part as I understand that have they 2083 01:32:37,310 --> 01:32:35,400 actually transmit their GPS position in 2084 01:32:39,649 --> 01:32:37,320 support of where they're flying so as to 2085 01:32:41,330 --> 01:32:39,659 ensure they're not interfering with with 2086 01:32:43,850 --> 01:32:41,340 their traffic and to ensure they are 2087 01:32:46,729 --> 01:32:43,860 traffic controllers are aware of where 2088 01:32:51,830 --> 01:32:46,739 those those balloons are operating 2089 01:32:55,250 --> 01:32:53,510 um from traffic control but what about 2090 01:32:57,110 --> 01:32:55,260 from the non-cooperative surveillance 2091 01:32:59,689 --> 01:32:57,120 has there been anomalies from the 2092 01:33:01,750 --> 01:32:59,699 sensors themselves and if so what is the 2093 01:33:04,970 --> 01:33:01,760 process for that 2094 01:33:07,430 --> 01:33:04,980 I'd say the fa mission is not around 2095 01:33:10,490 --> 01:33:07,440 anomalies with the the non-cooperative 2096 01:33:12,890 --> 01:33:10,500 sensors themselves so as we build an air 2097 01:33:14,270 --> 01:33:12,900 traffic control picture we we have both 2098 01:33:16,189 --> 01:33:14,280 the non-cooperative systems which 2099 01:33:18,830 --> 01:33:16,199 detects the target we have a Cooperative 2100 01:33:22,070 --> 01:33:18,840 system that also detects a Target and we 2101 01:33:24,950 --> 01:33:22,080 will tend to merge those those uh 2102 01:33:27,050 --> 01:33:24,960 targets together and so on a 2103 01:33:30,050 --> 01:33:27,060 controller's display they'll know is 2104 01:33:32,990 --> 01:33:30,060 this a non-cooperative only or a merged 2105 01:33:35,090 --> 01:33:33,000 or combined Target so that they know you 2106 01:33:37,250 --> 01:33:35,100 know basically an increased level of 2107 01:33:39,890 --> 01:33:37,260 confidence that on what it is they're 2108 01:33:43,310 --> 01:33:39,900 seeing is in fact a real aircraft so we 2109 01:33:44,930 --> 01:33:43,320 don't just make any real distinction uh 2110 01:33:47,149 --> 01:33:44,940 between a non-cooperative and a 2111 01:33:48,950 --> 01:33:47,159 Cooperative other than how they get 2112 01:33:49,850 --> 01:33:48,960 combined and put on a controller's 2113 01:33:53,149 --> 01:33:49,860 display 2114 01:33:58,729 --> 01:33:55,490 uh so so like a ga flight that does 2115 01:34:01,490 --> 01:33:58,739 notice flying visual flight rules those 2116 01:34:02,689 --> 01:34:01,500 will just be picked up by the if they're 2117 01:34:04,430 --> 01:34:02,699 even if they don't if they're not 2118 01:34:07,189 --> 01:34:04,440 equipped with with a court with a 2119 01:34:08,930 --> 01:34:07,199 Cooperative uh avionics those would just 2120 01:34:11,689 --> 01:34:08,940 be picked up by the non-cooperative 2121 01:34:14,030 --> 01:34:11,699 system that if they happen to surveil 2122 01:34:15,350 --> 01:34:14,040 where that aircraft is is flying and so 2123 01:34:17,629 --> 01:34:15,360 that certainly will be put on the 2124 01:34:19,810 --> 01:34:17,639 controller's display and they will be 2125 01:34:22,070 --> 01:34:19,820 able to provide 2126 01:34:25,310 --> 01:34:22,080 awareness in fact there's a flight 2127 01:34:28,490 --> 01:34:25,320 following a procedure by which GA Pilots 2128 01:34:30,950 --> 01:34:28,500 can ask for a I'm not I'm not squawking 2129 01:34:34,250 --> 01:34:30,960 or not a Cooperative system 2130 01:34:36,050 --> 01:34:34,260 but please help me and just via the 2131 01:34:38,629 --> 01:34:36,060 radio I'm gonna going from here to here 2132 01:34:40,610 --> 01:34:38,639 and and providing awareness uh 2133 01:34:42,470 --> 01:34:40,620 situational awareness if the controller 2134 01:34:43,310 --> 01:34:42,480 has the bandwidth to to provide that 2135 01:34:46,250 --> 01:34:43,320 data 2136 01:34:47,750 --> 01:34:46,260 one last question yes so I'm not a 2137 01:34:50,169 --> 01:34:47,760 scientist I'm a recovering attorney and 2138 01:34:52,910 --> 01:34:50,179 I love process and a few questions there 2139 01:34:55,490 --> 01:34:52,920 if I'm a pilot where do I find that 2140 01:34:57,950 --> 01:34:55,500 process for reporting uaps where is that 2141 01:34:59,750 --> 01:34:57,960 articulated or captured second when you 2142 01:35:01,370 --> 01:34:59,760 mentioned that you're reporting these 2143 01:35:03,590 --> 01:35:01,380 incidents who are you reporting it to 2144 01:35:04,910 --> 01:35:03,600 and are those incidents pulling on the 2145 01:35:07,729 --> 01:35:04,920 thread that Reggie started are they 2146 01:35:10,850 --> 01:35:07,739 being archived anywhere I believe they 2147 01:35:13,250 --> 01:35:10,860 are archived they're reported to the 2148 01:35:16,910 --> 01:35:13,260 domestic Network event Network it's an 2149 01:35:19,310 --> 01:35:16,920 fa organization or or function 2150 01:35:21,590 --> 01:35:19,320 um I don't I I can't speak to whether 2151 01:35:24,169 --> 01:35:21,600 for whether they would be say part of 2152 01:35:27,410 --> 01:35:24,179 what Sean would would include as part of 2153 01:35:29,149 --> 01:35:27,420 his database I presume so 2154 01:35:30,709 --> 01:35:29,159 um so I can think that was the answer to 2155 01:35:32,209 --> 01:35:30,719 the second question uh what was the 2156 01:35:34,610 --> 01:35:32,219 first question again I'm sorry where 2157 01:35:36,709 --> 01:35:34,620 does the reporting process live if I'm a 2158 01:35:38,209 --> 01:35:36,719 pilot I see a uip where do I go to find 2159 01:35:40,189 --> 01:35:38,219 that I don't know the answer to that 2160 01:35:41,870 --> 01:35:40,199 question I said I'm familiar with the 2161 01:35:43,550 --> 01:35:41,880 reporting process from a controller 2162 01:35:46,490 --> 01:35:43,560 perspective and the order that's that's 2163 01:35:48,890 --> 01:35:46,500 used to define how controllers do their 2164 01:35:50,450 --> 01:35:48,900 job I am not I I don't know the answer 2165 01:35:53,770 --> 01:35:50,460 to the question from a pilot perspective 2166 01:35:59,270 --> 01:35:56,510 great so uh thank you Mike for your 2167 01:36:00,830 --> 01:35:59,280 presentation and uh for the all the help 2168 01:36:02,629 --> 01:36:00,840 the FAA has given us as we've been 2169 01:36:05,689 --> 01:36:02,639 learning more about the very impressive 2170 01:36:09,050 --> 01:36:05,699 system that the FAA maintains uh thank 2171 01:36:11,390 --> 01:36:09,060 you I know you know for me one of the 2172 01:36:13,129 --> 01:36:11,400 many takeaways from this is uh filling 2173 01:36:15,649 --> 01:36:13,139 it you know just a little bit safer 2174 01:36:17,390 --> 01:36:15,659 every time I fly and thankful for you 2175 01:36:21,050 --> 01:36:17,400 and your colleagues for what they do to 2176 01:36:23,270 --> 01:36:21,060 make that possible thank you and we're 2177 01:36:26,570 --> 01:36:23,280 now going to take a quick lunch break 2178 01:36:28,550 --> 01:36:26,580 we'll be back at 12 30. 2179 01:36:43,790 --> 01:36:28,560 um and uh 2180 01:36:48,110 --> 01:36:46,970 well we weren't really expecting too 2181 01:36:50,629 --> 01:36:48,120 much 2182 01:36:52,910 --> 01:36:50,639 but it actually some interesting things 2183 01:36:54,709 --> 01:36:52,920 in there I'm going to go over 2184 01:36:58,430 --> 01:36:54,719 unless you guys have specific questions 2185 01:37:04,070 --> 01:37:01,310 I'm not completely focused this early so 2186 01:37:07,850 --> 01:37:04,080 I'm going to go through 2187 01:37:10,070 --> 01:37:07,860 some tweets that 2188 01:37:12,470 --> 01:37:10,080 folks are putting on Twitter 2189 01:37:14,570 --> 01:37:12,480 um rizvark did a really great job I'll 2190 01:37:20,270 --> 01:37:14,580 show you his summaries and we 2191 01:37:24,649 --> 01:37:22,310 why don't people believe anything NASA 2192 01:37:26,570 --> 01:37:24,659 and its parents parent organization says 2193 01:37:29,570 --> 01:37:26,580 they're like all lying eight-year-old 2194 01:37:31,550 --> 01:37:29,580 whose mothers works nights none that not 2195 01:37:34,550 --> 01:37:31,560 all these most of these people have 2196 01:37:37,310 --> 01:37:34,560 nothing to do with whatever lies NASA 2197 01:37:38,450 --> 01:37:37,320 has allegedly told in the past in the 2198 01:37:40,990 --> 01:37:38,460 past 2199 01:37:44,270 --> 01:37:41,000 you know I for one think that there's 2200 01:37:47,149 --> 01:37:44,280 structures artificial structures on Mars 2201 01:37:50,450 --> 01:37:47,159 I won't won't know for sure until we get 2202 01:37:51,950 --> 01:37:50,460 up there and have ground truth but these 2203 01:37:54,169 --> 01:37:51,960 folks don't know about that so you need 2204 01:37:56,030 --> 01:37:54,179 to separate for the history from what's 2205 01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:56,040 going on now this is this is positive 2206 01:38:00,290 --> 01:37:57,780 what's going on now especially for the 2207 01:38:02,450 --> 01:38:00,300 General Public 2208 01:38:03,950 --> 01:38:02,460 um they don't know what we know they 2209 01:38:05,810 --> 01:38:03,960 don't know about whistleblowers they 2210 01:38:07,610 --> 01:38:05,820 don't know about what's allegedly going 2211 01:38:09,290 --> 01:38:07,620 on behind the scenes they don't know 2212 01:38:11,810 --> 01:38:09,300 about an alleged 2213 01:38:13,430 --> 01:38:11,820 Washington Post article that's coming up 2214 01:38:15,110 --> 01:38:13,440 so 2215 01:38:19,370 --> 01:38:15,120 not too bad 2216 01:38:23,510 --> 01:38:19,380 standpoint 2217 01:38:29,030 --> 01:38:26,330 let me kill this audio completely 2218 01:38:31,010 --> 01:38:29,040 so they're at lunch now and I'm gonna 2219 01:38:33,229 --> 01:38:31,020 pull this down for now and I'm gonna 2220 01:38:35,689 --> 01:38:33,239 bring up 2221 01:38:37,550 --> 01:38:35,699 the tweets I was referencing just to go 2222 01:38:42,410 --> 01:38:37,560 over it again 2223 01:38:47,990 --> 01:38:46,310 and I'm wearing my Sony shirt that I got 2224 01:38:51,229 --> 01:38:48,000 when I worked I've been working for Sony 2225 01:38:54,229 --> 01:38:51,239 when they come for various conventions 2226 01:38:57,590 --> 01:38:54,239 and this time they gave me a 2227 01:39:01,129 --> 01:38:57,600 shirt so that's what my shirt is and let 2228 01:39:07,189 --> 01:39:04,729 res rizworks who was written about the 2229 01:39:10,070 --> 01:39:07,199 simulation that we're allegedly in 2230 01:39:12,290 --> 01:39:10,080 you pull up his tweets 2231 01:39:15,229 --> 01:39:12,300 here we go I'll just go through what he 2232 01:39:17,870 --> 01:39:15,239 said so I can now I can at least 2233 01:39:19,129 --> 01:39:17,880 add in some of my own comments and let 2234 01:39:24,169 --> 01:39:19,139 me know if you have any problems with 2235 01:39:27,350 --> 01:39:26,030 so we started out 2236 01:39:30,770 --> 01:39:27,360 um 2237 01:39:33,770 --> 01:39:30,780 talking about how members of the panel 2238 01:39:36,050 --> 01:39:33,780 have received harassment 2239 01:39:38,390 --> 01:39:36,060 for looking into this and it's probably 2240 01:39:41,149 --> 01:39:38,400 coming from both sides probably from the 2241 01:39:43,610 --> 01:39:41,159 people who think you know they're hiding 2242 01:39:46,610 --> 01:39:43,620 things from us so 2243 01:39:48,410 --> 01:39:46,620 the quote-unquote Believers and don't 2244 01:39:50,030 --> 01:39:48,420 take that as disparaging I'm just 2245 01:39:51,950 --> 01:39:50,040 separating Believers from the Skeptics 2246 01:39:54,890 --> 01:39:51,960 and I'm sure the Skeptics are on their 2247 01:39:56,450 --> 01:39:54,900 case for wasting time thanks Stars 2248 01:39:57,410 --> 01:39:56,460 starfish 2249 01:39:59,689 --> 01:39:57,420 um 2250 01:40:02,149 --> 01:39:59,699 so there are people probably on their 2251 01:40:04,610 --> 01:40:02,159 case for even wasting time looking into 2252 01:40:06,890 --> 01:40:04,620 this because they know UFOs are nonsense 2253 01:40:08,390 --> 01:40:06,900 so they're probably getting I would like 2254 01:40:10,370 --> 01:40:08,400 to know what kind of harassment they're 2255 01:40:11,990 --> 01:40:10,380 talking about if it's just critic no I 2256 01:40:14,750 --> 01:40:12,000 don't agree with anything 2257 01:40:15,830 --> 01:40:14,760 where anybody harassing anybody involved 2258 01:40:17,570 --> 01:40:15,840 in this 2259 01:40:18,970 --> 01:40:17,580 um even Kirkpatrick got some really 2260 01:40:21,229 --> 01:40:18,980 strong 2261 01:40:22,490 --> 01:40:21,239 criticisms that I think went over the 2262 01:40:26,209 --> 01:40:22,500 line if you're not going to present 2263 01:40:28,550 --> 01:40:26,219 evidence accuse him accusing him of X Y 2264 01:40:31,129 --> 01:40:28,560 and Z but never presenting evidence to 2265 01:40:36,350 --> 01:40:34,010 um res says that the data they talked 2266 01:40:38,270 --> 01:40:36,360 about the data being far you know has 2267 01:40:40,370 --> 01:40:38,280 been unreliable and it's been impossible 2268 01:40:41,450 --> 01:40:40,380 to draw scientific conclusions Mickey 2269 01:40:43,729 --> 01:40:41,460 Fox 2270 01:40:45,350 --> 01:40:43,739 publicly available data 2271 01:40:49,129 --> 01:40:45,360 of course 2272 01:40:51,709 --> 01:40:49,139 but we all know there is data that 2273 01:40:54,470 --> 01:40:51,719 supposedly will blow our socks off if we 2274 01:40:56,209 --> 01:40:54,480 ever get to see it so that's the same 2275 01:40:59,090 --> 01:40:56,219 old story what we get to see publicly 2276 01:41:02,030 --> 01:40:59,100 and what supposedly supposedly exists 2277 01:41:03,709 --> 01:41:02,040 privately is is night and day but we 2278 01:41:05,870 --> 01:41:03,719 haven't seen the private data so we're 2279 01:41:09,770 --> 01:41:05,880 stuck with public data which makes it 2280 01:41:11,629 --> 01:41:09,780 really easy for Skeptics to debunk 2281 01:41:13,550 --> 01:41:11,639 because there isn't you know we have 2282 01:41:16,070 --> 01:41:13,560 tons of anecdotes and we have government 2283 01:41:17,810 --> 01:41:16,080 documents but we don't have you know and 2284 01:41:20,090 --> 01:41:17,820 on and on and on we all know about that 2285 01:41:22,729 --> 01:41:20,100 what we don't have 2286 01:41:25,370 --> 01:41:22,739 is something that blows us away you know 2287 01:41:27,590 --> 01:41:25,380 we have gimbal go fast and the Tic Tac 2288 01:41:28,550 --> 01:41:27,600 but and and the TIC tac's a great case 2289 01:41:32,930 --> 01:41:28,560 but 2290 01:41:35,090 --> 01:41:32,940 like we really we want to see something 2291 01:41:37,609 --> 01:41:35,100 making right angle turns 2292 01:41:39,950 --> 01:41:37,619 instant or almost instantaneous 2293 01:41:43,370 --> 01:41:39,960 acceleration and we don't have that 2294 01:41:45,890 --> 01:41:43,380 supposedly we have amazing videos and 2295 01:41:46,910 --> 01:41:45,900 photos well we haven't seen it publicly 2296 01:41:48,590 --> 01:41:46,920 and 2297 01:41:52,129 --> 01:41:48,600 unless you have clearances you're not 2298 01:41:56,810 --> 01:41:54,950 AP data from VOD is often classified 2299 01:41:59,450 --> 01:41:56,820 because of the sensors not because of 2300 01:42:02,510 --> 01:41:59,460 the actual data and she referenced the 2301 01:42:04,370 --> 01:42:02,520 Statue of Liberty 2302 01:42:06,290 --> 01:42:04,380 um you know if you take a picture of the 2303 01:42:08,149 --> 01:42:06,300 Statue of Liberty well it's it's 2304 01:42:11,030 --> 01:42:08,159 classified because it's taken with 2305 01:42:14,390 --> 01:42:11,040 sensors it's like well we've seen sensor 2306 01:42:16,550 --> 01:42:14,400 video released a few days after it 2307 01:42:18,649 --> 01:42:16,560 happened with you know a Chinese plane 2308 01:42:21,470 --> 01:42:18,659 coming in a Russian plane they release 2309 01:42:24,470 --> 01:42:21,480 it right away so they can release UFO 2310 01:42:26,750 --> 01:42:24,480 videos we all know that that's part of 2311 01:42:29,090 --> 01:42:26,760 their excuse which is nonsense I 2312 01:42:30,590 --> 01:42:29,100 understand some of it yeah sensors I 2313 01:42:32,990 --> 01:42:30,600 understand that's part of the reason but 2314 01:42:34,609 --> 01:42:33,000 it's not all that's not the explanation 2315 01:42:37,010 --> 01:42:34,619 there there's another reason why they're 2316 01:42:38,810 --> 01:42:37,020 not releasing it because in my mind 2317 01:42:43,430 --> 01:42:38,820 and then I think everybody's mind if 2318 01:42:45,530 --> 01:42:43,440 they release something that is clear-cut 2319 01:42:48,770 --> 01:42:45,540 technology that we don't have at least 2320 01:42:53,570 --> 01:42:48,780 publicly it's gonna just it the public 2321 01:42:55,669 --> 01:42:53,580 and the media love they love videos so 2322 01:42:57,470 --> 01:42:55,679 that would really give a boost to this 2323 01:42:58,729 --> 01:42:57,480 conversation and I think it would wake 2324 01:43:01,189 --> 01:42:58,739 up a lot of people 2325 01:43:03,229 --> 01:43:01,199 who have not really realized have who 2326 01:43:06,530 --> 01:43:03,239 have not yet realized this is a real 2327 01:43:09,830 --> 01:43:08,570 and I'm just rizz is just summarizing 2328 01:43:11,629 --> 01:43:09,840 what was said and I'm going to summarize 2329 01:43:15,229 --> 01:43:11,639 and add to it it was it's not our goal 2330 01:43:17,870 --> 01:43:15,239 to solve uaps but to give NASA a road 2331 01:43:20,270 --> 01:43:17,880 map if I were to summarize in one line 2332 01:43:22,070 --> 01:43:20,280 our conclusions we need high quality 2333 01:43:25,129 --> 01:43:22,080 data and that was from David spurgle 2334 01:43:27,470 --> 01:43:25,139 NASA UAP panel lead 2335 01:43:29,930 --> 01:43:27,480 yeah we need high quality data but we 2336 01:43:31,609 --> 01:43:29,940 supposedly have it on same thing Sparkle 2337 01:43:32,570 --> 01:43:31,619 said on scientific anomalies talking 2338 01:43:34,850 --> 01:43:32,580 about 2339 01:43:36,830 --> 01:43:34,860 fast radio bursts 2340 01:43:38,390 --> 01:43:36,840 in microwave signals spiking at 2341 01:43:39,709 --> 01:43:38,400 lunchtime like he's like 2342 01:43:41,209 --> 01:43:39,719 well 2343 01:43:42,350 --> 01:43:41,219 we had this measurement but then we 2344 01:43:44,209 --> 01:43:42,360 realized it was coming from the 2345 01:43:46,129 --> 01:43:44,219 microwave it's like yeah we realize that 2346 01:43:48,169 --> 01:43:46,139 measurements can be 2347 01:43:51,109 --> 01:43:48,179 inaccurate and there could be a natural 2348 01:43:53,090 --> 01:43:51,119 explanation we know all of that and fast 2349 01:43:55,010 --> 01:43:53,100 radio bursts I don't pretend to 2350 01:43:57,290 --> 01:43:55,020 understand them but 2351 01:43:59,689 --> 01:43:57,300 they have baffled scientists if you look 2352 01:44:01,609 --> 01:43:59,699 it up if you if you Google Fast radio 2353 01:44:04,370 --> 01:44:01,619 bursts they're really interesting these 2354 01:44:05,450 --> 01:44:04,380 these bursts that come in high energy 2355 01:44:07,189 --> 01:44:05,460 um they don't know where they're coming 2356 01:44:09,410 --> 01:44:07,199 from there's lots of theories they have 2357 01:44:14,149 --> 01:44:09,420 not been able to explain it 2358 01:44:16,490 --> 01:44:14,159 explain them you talked about Sprites 2359 01:44:18,590 --> 01:44:16,500 which were reported by pilots but not 2360 01:44:20,270 --> 01:44:18,600 they weren't believed until good data 2361 01:44:23,930 --> 01:44:20,280 came in from the International Space 2362 01:44:26,990 --> 01:44:23,940 Station his point was that 2363 01:44:31,669 --> 01:44:28,970 instruments need to be calibrated to get 2364 01:44:34,129 --> 01:44:31,679 good data but that anomalies can lead to 2365 01:44:38,689 --> 01:44:34,139 new discoveries 2366 01:44:46,070 --> 01:44:42,550 uh then Kirkpatrick got up and he said 2367 01:44:49,850 --> 01:44:46,080 unlike the NASA team 2368 01:44:52,310 --> 01:44:49,860 we are looking at classified data so 2369 01:44:55,550 --> 01:44:52,320 I really would love for Chris melon or 2370 01:44:59,870 --> 01:44:55,560 Lou Elizondo to jump in and tell us are 2371 01:45:02,930 --> 01:44:59,880 they s Is Kirkpatrick and arrow seeing 2372 01:45:08,090 --> 01:45:02,940 the 23 minute video that supposedly 2373 01:45:13,790 --> 01:45:10,490 um Kirkpatrick said that we have shared 2374 01:45:16,250 --> 01:45:13,800 the data for a small set of cases which 2375 01:45:18,830 --> 01:45:16,260 are truly anomalous and they've shared 2376 01:45:23,570 --> 01:45:18,840 those with appropriately cleared NASA 2377 01:45:28,550 --> 01:45:25,729 this is interesting and potentially 2378 01:45:31,010 --> 01:45:28,560 significant this is from Riz 2379 01:45:34,010 --> 01:45:31,020 since this NASA panel is only looking at 2380 01:45:36,830 --> 01:45:34,020 unclassified data 2381 01:45:39,350 --> 01:45:36,840 I would love to hear from the people in 2382 01:45:41,570 --> 01:45:39,360 NASA who have seen the classified data 2383 01:45:44,390 --> 01:45:41,580 and get their opinions I don't see why 2384 01:45:46,370 --> 01:45:44,400 that is classified just give us your 2385 01:45:48,290 --> 01:45:46,380 general opinions on what you've seen 2386 01:45:50,450 --> 01:45:48,300 that's why I don't understand why 2387 01:45:54,109 --> 01:45:50,460 Congress can't do that why can't 2388 01:45:58,550 --> 01:45:54,119 Congress give me why can't 2389 01:46:04,129 --> 01:46:02,030 anybody else in Congress 2390 01:46:05,810 --> 01:46:04,139 billabrand why can't they say you know 2391 01:46:08,030 --> 01:46:05,820 what I can't talk about the classified 2392 01:46:10,609 --> 01:46:08,040 data I've seen but I can tell you how I 2393 01:46:13,790 --> 01:46:10,619 reacted when I saw it they can do that I 2394 01:46:16,250 --> 01:46:13,800 think they can do that but they have not 2395 01:46:18,470 --> 01:46:16,260 uh Kirkpatrick of Arrow he said the dod 2396 01:46:20,870 --> 01:46:18,480 sensors are not scientific sensors or 2397 01:46:22,790 --> 01:46:20,880 calibrated for scientific data but are 2398 01:46:24,649 --> 01:46:22,800 optimized for finding and tracking 2399 01:46:25,970 --> 01:46:24,659 weapons yeah he talked about that in his 2400 01:46:32,450 --> 01:46:25,980 hearing 2401 01:46:36,590 --> 01:46:34,850 Kirkpatrick put up various charts images 2402 01:46:39,470 --> 01:46:36,600 from iPhones are not helpful in 2403 01:46:41,510 --> 01:46:39,480 identifying UAP but ancillary data is 2404 01:46:46,070 --> 01:46:41,520 potentially useful we need scientific 2405 01:46:49,729 --> 01:46:46,080 instruments yeah I mean Public public 2406 01:46:52,010 --> 01:46:49,739 UFO videos usually are really weak there 2407 01:46:53,629 --> 01:46:52,020 are a few that are interesting but for 2408 01:46:55,129 --> 01:46:53,639 the most part I usually don't share them 2409 01:46:56,570 --> 01:46:55,139 on Twitter because they're they don't 2410 01:46:58,310 --> 01:46:56,580 show much 2411 01:47:04,010 --> 01:46:58,320 usually a ball of light in the sky 2412 01:47:08,930 --> 01:47:06,649 uh Kirkpatrick 2413 01:47:11,270 --> 01:47:08,940 our data shows collection bias because 2414 01:47:16,070 --> 01:47:11,280 that's where the sensors are we we know 2415 01:47:21,950 --> 01:47:18,950 there has to be some reports over our 2416 01:47:24,229 --> 01:47:21,960 oceans and bodies of water I don't know 2417 01:47:26,810 --> 01:47:24,239 if he's talking about official reports 2418 01:47:28,970 --> 01:47:26,820 from various you know Noah I don't know 2419 01:47:31,970 --> 01:47:28,980 exactly what that means 2420 01:47:33,950 --> 01:47:31,980 um Kirkpatrick I have classified sensors 2421 01:47:35,689 --> 01:47:33,960 in various locations and I'd like to be 2422 01:47:37,970 --> 01:47:35,699 able to pass off data to academic 2423 01:47:41,750 --> 01:47:37,980 scientific sensors and then that data 2424 01:47:47,930 --> 01:47:44,930 Mr Patrick said the dod the dod sensors 2425 01:47:51,050 --> 01:47:47,940 aren't painted at the places we want 2426 01:47:52,790 --> 01:47:51,060 a lot of what we have is around the 2427 01:47:55,010 --> 01:47:52,800 continental United States most people 2428 01:47:57,890 --> 01:47:55,020 don't like it when DOD points high 2429 01:48:00,350 --> 01:47:57,900 resolution sensors in their backyards 2430 01:48:02,870 --> 01:48:00,360 some ground-based detectors will need to 2431 01:48:05,090 --> 01:48:02,880 be there we are evaluating sensors being 2432 01:48:07,910 --> 01:48:05,100 built for similar or other purposes that 2433 01:48:10,010 --> 01:48:07,920 we can recalibrate 2434 01:48:12,169 --> 01:48:10,020 take the Target and put it in your 2435 01:48:13,609 --> 01:48:12,179 sensor and see it 2436 01:48:15,770 --> 01:48:13,619 registering this is potentially 2437 01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:15,780 significant if they're going to add 2438 01:48:20,870 --> 01:48:18,000 sensors in areas where 2439 01:48:22,910 --> 01:48:20,880 it doesn't say if if they're picking up 2440 01:48:24,470 --> 01:48:22,920 UAP in those areas that's the sense I 2441 01:48:26,510 --> 01:48:24,480 get and they need to get better sensors 2442 01:48:27,890 --> 01:48:26,520 in those areas where they know UAP is 2443 01:48:31,430 --> 01:48:27,900 showing up 2444 01:48:32,870 --> 01:48:31,440 and certain folks probably 2445 01:48:34,910 --> 01:48:32,880 I don't know if it's contractors or 2446 01:48:35,510 --> 01:48:34,920 government they don't want 2447 01:48:38,270 --> 01:48:35,520 um 2448 01:48:41,750 --> 01:48:38,280 sensors pointed out there sensitive 2449 01:48:42,649 --> 01:48:41,760 areas I mean there's no details on that 2450 01:48:45,229 --> 01:48:42,659 um 2451 01:48:47,270 --> 01:48:45,239 but understandable obviously 2452 01:48:50,209 --> 01:48:47,280 if you have something that's sensitive 2453 01:48:52,970 --> 01:48:50,219 and you find out the dod is 2454 01:48:55,609 --> 01:48:52,980 pointing their sensors at in your 2455 01:49:01,669 --> 01:48:58,669 let's see and then we got to this chart 2456 01:49:03,290 --> 01:49:01,679 how many anomalous cases are there you 2457 01:49:06,709 --> 01:49:03,300 know I think during the hearing it was 6 2458 01:49:09,109 --> 01:49:06,719 50 or so and now there's 800 plus total 2459 01:49:11,270 --> 01:49:09,119 uh which is a single digit percentage of 2460 01:49:14,810 --> 01:49:11,280 about the reports they get you know two 2461 01:49:17,030 --> 01:49:14,820 to five percent are anomalous 2462 01:49:19,490 --> 01:49:17,040 and he put the chart up again 2463 01:49:22,930 --> 01:49:19,500 we saw during the hearing with 2464 01:49:27,229 --> 01:49:25,430 Kirkpatrick not all reports are single 2465 01:49:29,810 --> 01:49:27,239 sensor some are multi-sensor he didn't 2466 01:49:33,350 --> 01:49:29,820 say how many 2467 01:49:35,330 --> 01:49:33,360 and Kirkpatrick on Arrow stigma also 2468 01:49:38,990 --> 01:49:35,340 exists inside government buildings and 2469 01:49:43,250 --> 01:49:41,149 they've been harassed also I don't know 2470 01:49:45,290 --> 01:49:43,260 what he means by harass is it you know 2471 01:49:47,209 --> 01:49:45,300 is it over the top criticism on on 2472 01:49:49,310 --> 01:49:47,219 Twitter is it beyond that he didn't he 2473 01:49:51,109 --> 01:49:49,320 didn't detail that 2474 01:49:53,090 --> 01:49:51,119 he said harassment by the public who 2475 01:49:55,850 --> 01:49:53,100 want answers doesn't help with the 2476 01:49:57,950 --> 01:49:55,860 stigma it actually makes it worse 2477 01:50:00,470 --> 01:49:57,960 the problem is 2478 01:50:02,689 --> 01:50:00,480 we all know or we've been told that that 2479 01:50:05,450 --> 01:50:02,699 Kirkpatrick has spoken to whistleblowers 2480 01:50:06,830 --> 01:50:05,460 and he has not brought it up how's it 2481 01:50:08,450 --> 01:50:06,840 going pix 2482 01:50:10,129 --> 01:50:08,460 um so he has not brought it up and I 2483 01:50:11,510 --> 01:50:10,139 don't see why he can't at least address 2484 01:50:13,609 --> 01:50:11,520 it and say 2485 01:50:17,510 --> 01:50:13,619 it is true this is my Kirkpatrick 2486 01:50:19,669 --> 01:50:17,520 impersonation it is true that there have 2487 01:50:23,810 --> 01:50:19,679 been whistleblowers who have told me 2488 01:50:26,750 --> 01:50:23,820 where to look for specific UAP related 2489 01:50:30,169 --> 01:50:26,760 special access programs but I don't have 2490 01:50:32,990 --> 01:50:30,179 the clearances as of yet to go and look 2491 01:50:34,189 --> 01:50:33,000 to see if that's true or not obviously 2492 01:50:37,129 --> 01:50:34,199 he's not I don't think he would say 2493 01:50:39,290 --> 01:50:37,139 exactly that but he can reference that 2494 01:50:41,270 --> 01:50:39,300 some of the whistleblowers have told me 2495 01:50:44,689 --> 01:50:41,280 some very interesting information 2496 01:50:47,330 --> 01:50:44,699 that I have not been able to verify yet 2497 01:50:49,609 --> 01:50:47,340 um so but he won't he doesn't talk about 2498 01:50:51,890 --> 01:50:49,619 that at all so it gets people upset and 2499 01:50:53,570 --> 01:50:51,900 then people start to criticize and they 2500 01:50:55,490 --> 01:50:53,580 see this kind of data and they say this 2501 01:50:57,050 --> 01:50:55,500 is boring we know you're hearing more 2502 01:50:59,390 --> 01:50:57,060 just tell us 2503 01:51:02,209 --> 01:50:59,400 that's why 2504 01:51:04,729 --> 01:51:02,219 an article in the Washington Post or New 2505 01:51:06,530 --> 01:51:04,739 York Times related to whistleblowers or 2506 01:51:09,290 --> 01:51:06,540 crash retrievals 2507 01:51:12,050 --> 01:51:09,300 is really important and hopefully we 2508 01:51:15,890 --> 01:51:12,060 will get that like I said that article 2509 01:51:18,470 --> 01:51:15,900 was in the works as far as I know still 2510 01:51:23,030 --> 01:51:18,480 is in the works and fingers crossed we 2511 01:51:23,040 --> 01:51:26,149 and then you put up 2512 01:51:31,850 --> 01:51:27,950 so that's 2513 01:51:33,290 --> 01:51:31,860 there's more from folks have put up 2514 01:51:35,270 --> 01:51:33,300 videos of Kirkpatrick on Twitter 2515 01:51:36,950 --> 01:51:35,280 hopefully everybody's on Twitter even if 2516 01:51:37,970 --> 01:51:36,960 you don't like Twitter you can get an 2517 01:51:41,330 --> 01:51:37,980 account 2518 01:51:43,910 --> 01:51:41,340 follow a small a very small amount of 2519 01:51:46,129 --> 01:51:43,920 accounts and you can just stay up to 2520 01:51:47,510 --> 01:51:46,139 date on everything 2521 01:51:50,990 --> 01:51:47,520 because there's some really good Twitter 2522 01:51:53,570 --> 01:51:51,000 accounts updating you know all day every 2523 01:51:57,109 --> 01:51:53,580 day I do a lot but there are other folks 2524 01:51:59,330 --> 01:51:57,119 that are just 20 it's 24 7. 2525 01:52:01,550 --> 01:51:59,340 um a guy from the FAA got up and said 2526 01:52:04,609 --> 01:52:01,560 you know different altitudes 2527 01:52:06,410 --> 01:52:04,619 uh a function of the line of measuring 2528 01:52:09,050 --> 01:52:06,420 you know what they can analyze what they 2529 01:52:10,910 --> 01:52:09,060 can collect data on uh it's from 2530 01:52:12,229 --> 01:52:10,920 different altitudes and it's primarily a 2531 01:52:15,890 --> 01:52:12,239 function of line of sight at those 2532 01:52:18,770 --> 01:52:15,900 altitudes uh 880 000 registered 2533 01:52:20,810 --> 01:52:18,780 registered registered small drones in 2534 01:52:22,970 --> 01:52:20,820 the United States 2535 01:52:25,609 --> 01:52:22,980 and I'm gonna go to back I'm going to go 2536 01:52:26,930 --> 01:52:25,619 to some of some other folks you can see 2537 01:52:29,510 --> 01:52:26,940 some live stuff 2538 01:52:30,890 --> 01:52:29,520 here's Mick West saying Sean Kirkpatrick 2539 01:52:33,050 --> 01:52:30,900 highly trained pilots can make 2540 01:52:34,669 --> 01:52:33,060 occasional mistakes here are three 2541 01:52:36,410 --> 01:52:34,679 distant planes that were misidentified 2542 01:52:38,990 --> 01:52:36,420 yeah so 2543 01:52:40,609 --> 01:52:39,000 Kirkpatrick showed three planes and 2544 01:52:42,109 --> 01:52:40,619 there was some movement or he saw three 2545 01:52:44,149 --> 01:52:42,119 objects they looked some there was some 2546 01:52:45,950 --> 01:52:44,159 movement and he said that's from the 2547 01:52:47,570 --> 01:52:45,960 sensor and he's like all this and then 2548 01:52:49,250 --> 01:52:47,580 they they try to 2549 01:52:50,570 --> 01:52:49,260 I don't know if he said track he saw he 2550 01:52:51,950 --> 01:52:50,580 tried to catch up with these objects 2551 01:52:54,229 --> 01:52:51,960 they could not I'm like oh this is 2552 01:52:56,810 --> 01:52:54,239 really interesting and then he said but 2553 01:53:00,290 --> 01:52:56,820 when we looked further into this it 2554 01:53:02,810 --> 01:53:00,300 turned out they were planes about to 2555 01:53:04,790 --> 01:53:02,820 land so why waste our time on that we 2556 01:53:06,470 --> 01:53:04,800 know people make mistakes there's 2557 01:53:09,350 --> 01:53:06,480 nothing new here 2558 01:53:12,649 --> 01:53:09,360 just like when Mick West said the mosul 2559 01:53:14,810 --> 01:53:12,659 orb was a puddle and then we saw a 2560 01:53:16,729 --> 01:53:14,820 similar video like the mosul orb that 2561 01:53:18,770 --> 01:53:16,739 showed an object moving which I think 2562 01:53:20,750 --> 01:53:18,780 it's pretty clear the mosul orb is the 2563 01:53:22,850 --> 01:53:20,760 same type of object we just haven't seen 2564 01:53:25,669 --> 01:53:22,860 the video yet we've seen a photo 2565 01:53:27,709 --> 01:53:25,679 but Mick West his his default is always 2566 01:53:30,169 --> 01:53:27,719 to explain it he's done some good work 2567 01:53:33,290 --> 01:53:30,179 some good and now analysis on videos but 2568 01:53:35,149 --> 01:53:33,300 his default on the Tic Tac early on was 2569 01:53:37,370 --> 01:53:35,159 well David fravor saw a bird or a 2570 01:53:39,890 --> 01:53:37,380 reflection and then Chad Underwood shot 2571 01:53:42,890 --> 01:53:39,900 a distant plane the gimbal is a distant 2572 01:53:44,510 --> 01:53:42,900 plane early on go fast oh well it's a 2573 01:53:47,750 --> 01:53:44,520 bird it's the same thing with him it's 2574 01:53:50,689 --> 01:53:47,760 never he always and and people say to me 2575 01:53:52,070 --> 01:53:50,699 well are you saying it's an alien no I 2576 01:53:54,290 --> 01:53:52,080 didn't say that I'm saying it's 2577 01:54:00,590 --> 01:53:54,300 unidentified it's an unknown it's 2578 01:54:05,810 --> 01:54:03,470 imagine harassing imagine harassing this 2579 01:54:08,570 --> 01:54:05,820 is a UFO Jesus 2580 01:54:10,310 --> 01:54:08,580 harassing UFO scientists for pursuing 2581 01:54:11,990 --> 01:54:10,320 the UAP issue 2582 01:54:13,370 --> 01:54:12,000 yeah it won't age well it depends on 2583 01:54:15,350 --> 01:54:13,380 what side you're talking about it's not 2584 01:54:18,830 --> 01:54:15,360 good on either side just let them do 2585 01:54:20,390 --> 01:54:18,840 their job we can we can criticize within 2586 01:54:22,609 --> 01:54:20,400 our own Community as long as it doesn't 2587 01:54:24,530 --> 01:54:22,619 go over the top 2588 01:54:27,649 --> 01:54:24,540 I'm gonna go back to what some other 2589 01:54:31,129 --> 01:54:27,659 folks were tweeting out 2590 01:54:34,729 --> 01:54:31,139 besides Riz who did a great job 2591 01:54:39,709 --> 01:54:37,370 tiny class is another account that does 2592 01:54:41,090 --> 01:54:39,719 a lot of a lot of tweeting during the 2593 01:54:43,010 --> 01:54:41,100 day is a good follow 2594 01:54:45,770 --> 01:54:43,020 Kirkpatrick says there are now 800 2595 01:54:49,129 --> 01:54:45,780 result unresolved UAP cases like I said 2596 01:54:51,470 --> 01:54:49,139 and at the hearing it was 6.50 2597 01:54:53,209 --> 01:54:51,480 I want to find the um 2598 01:54:54,830 --> 01:54:53,219 and there's some really good charts in 2599 01:54:56,870 --> 01:54:54,840 here 2600 01:54:59,330 --> 01:54:56,880 that have been tweeted out 2601 01:55:01,850 --> 01:54:59,340 talking about 2602 01:55:03,709 --> 01:55:01,860 recommendations for NASA that Sean 2603 01:55:06,169 --> 01:55:03,719 Kirkpatrick put out 2604 01:55:09,290 --> 01:55:06,179 I'm not going to go into all of that 2605 01:55:10,609 --> 01:55:09,300 one interesting 2606 01:55:14,510 --> 01:55:10,619 the most interesting thing that 2607 01:55:19,970 --> 01:55:17,270 we see these metallic orbs all over the 2608 01:55:22,910 --> 01:55:19,980 world and we see these making very 2609 01:55:25,490 --> 01:55:22,920 interesting apparent Maneuvers so what 2610 01:55:28,129 --> 01:55:25,500 are they what are those orbs 2611 01:55:31,609 --> 01:55:28,139 and 2612 01:55:36,410 --> 01:55:34,370 thinking about the orbs 2613 01:55:38,750 --> 01:55:36,420 and said but I thought some game 2614 01:55:40,970 --> 01:55:38,760 designer said it was a puddle of water 2615 01:55:43,790 --> 01:55:40,980 that's Mick West that was his 2616 01:55:46,609 --> 01:55:43,800 explanation it was a puddle 2617 01:55:48,770 --> 01:55:46,619 it's just so ridiculous it's like 2618 01:55:52,189 --> 01:55:48,780 I'm torn because some of his video 2619 01:55:56,629 --> 01:55:52,199 analysis like he he showed in my opinion 2620 01:56:01,129 --> 01:55:59,090 as far as I can tell from looking at his 2621 01:56:03,350 --> 01:56:01,139 work and 2622 01:56:05,689 --> 01:56:03,360 listening to the witnesses which I still 2623 01:56:08,510 --> 01:56:05,699 have an open mind on it turns out that 2624 01:56:10,430 --> 01:56:08,520 those were flares that's what it looks 2625 01:56:12,050 --> 01:56:10,440 like so his work on that was good he's 2626 01:56:15,169 --> 01:56:12,060 done some other good work 2627 01:56:20,810 --> 01:56:18,109 um but everything he says when he tries 2628 01:56:21,950 --> 01:56:20,820 to explain any UFO case is a prosaic 2629 01:56:23,870 --> 01:56:21,960 answer 2630 01:56:27,169 --> 01:56:23,880 all right enough enough of that enough 2631 01:56:32,209 --> 01:56:30,050 saying that we all know that 2632 01:56:32,870 --> 01:56:32,219 some more of Riz 2633

02:05:43,729 --> 02:05:42,119 um 2841 02:05:45,109 --> 02:05:43,739 yeah we've been told these are trans 2842 02:05:47,689 --> 02:05:45,119 medium I mean that's one of the five 2843 02:05:49,430 --> 02:05:47,699 observables Lou has spoken about trans 2844 02:05:51,589 --> 02:05:49,440 medium travel so 2845 02:05:53,450 --> 02:05:51,599 do we have any classified data on that I 2846 02:05:55,669 --> 02:05:53,460 mean if there is and he's saying the 2847 02:05:57,290 --> 02:05:55,679 opposite that would be a lie but so I 2848 02:05:58,669 --> 02:05:57,300 don't think he I don't know I don't know 2849 02:06:00,890 --> 02:05:58,679 what to think on that 2850 02:06:04,609 --> 02:06:00,900 and hopefully 2851 02:06:07,910 --> 02:06:04,619 oh no wonder I haven't paused damn it 2852 02:06:10,070 --> 02:06:07,920 sorry but 2853 02:06:11,870 --> 02:06:10,080 [Music] 2854 02:06:15,109 --> 02:06:11,880 just 2855 02:06:15,119 --> 02:06:17,930 get up 2856 02:06:17,940 --> 02:06:21,709 sorry about that 2857 02:06:26,870 --> 02:06:23,270 not really behind because I'm catching 2858 02:06:33,589 --> 02:06:28,609 and I'm having some computer issues 2859 02:06:33,599 --> 02:06:37,970 I lost my oh there we go concert 2860 02:06:41,270 --> 02:06:40,609 all right we're live now good 2861 02:06:42,589 --> 02:06:41,280 um 2862 02:06:43,970 --> 02:06:42,599 yeah I don't know I'm really curious to 2863 02:06:45,350 --> 02:06:43,980 see what he comes up with on that I 2864 02:06:48,229 --> 02:06:45,360 don't know why 2865 02:06:50,209 --> 02:06:48,239 he would go out of his way to to mislead 2866 02:06:51,890 --> 02:06:50,219 us on trans medium 2867 02:06:54,530 --> 02:06:51,900 but maybe he has he has something 2868 02:06:56,629 --> 02:06:54,540 clear-cut that shows 2869 02:06:58,609 --> 02:06:56,639 the videos we've seen so far are not 2870 02:07:00,950 --> 02:06:58,619 trans medium I know Jeremy Corbell has 2871 02:07:02,450 --> 02:07:00,960 spoken about he has spoken to Witnesses 2872 02:07:05,570 --> 02:07:02,460 I believe 2873 02:07:07,550 --> 02:07:05,580 who feel they I don't know if they saw 2874 02:07:09,050 --> 02:07:07,560 objects coming in and out of the water I 2875 02:07:11,990 --> 02:07:09,060 think they were folks in helicopters 2876 02:07:13,850 --> 02:07:12,000 related to the 2019 incidents 2877 02:07:15,770 --> 02:07:13,860 who went out looking but I'm not sure 2878 02:07:18,470 --> 02:07:15,780 about that I mean don't do not quote me 2879 02:07:21,709 --> 02:07:20,270 yeah I don't know what kind of music 2880 02:07:23,930 --> 02:07:21,719 they have 2881 02:07:25,729 --> 02:07:23,940 a series a short presentations by 2882 02:07:29,629 --> 02:07:25,739 members of the panel and their thoughts 2883 02:07:31,370 --> 02:07:29,639 on different aspects of our charge 2884 02:07:34,189 --> 02:07:31,380 and the format is we're going to have 2885 02:07:35,990 --> 02:07:34,199 them come up to the podium and speak 2886 02:07:37,729 --> 02:07:36,000 and I'm going to ask each of the 2887 02:07:40,010 --> 02:07:37,739 speakers then to take questions it's 2888 02:07:42,050 --> 02:07:40,020 actually the angle with this setup is 2889 02:07:43,850 --> 02:07:42,060 you you can see the people better from 2890 02:07:45,350 --> 02:07:43,860 the podium than I can where it's hard to 2891 02:07:49,070 --> 02:07:45,360 see people behind you 2892 02:07:51,950 --> 02:07:49,080 I'm going to try to keep manage the time 2893 02:07:53,570 --> 02:07:51,960 so as those questions you know come to 2894 02:07:54,589 --> 02:07:53,580 an end I'll cut you off and bring up the 2895 02:07:58,129 --> 02:07:54,599 next speaker 2896 02:08:00,109 --> 02:07:58,139 and we'll move through the the six 2897 02:08:02,810 --> 02:08:00,119 topics and then we'll have some time at 2898 02:08:05,629 --> 02:08:02,820 the end for some general discussion 2899 02:08:07,970 --> 02:08:05,639 uh the first speaker will be Dr Nadia 2900 02:08:11,209 --> 02:08:07,980 Drake talking about framing the issues 2901 02:08:11,219 --> 02:08:14,709 thank you 2902 02:08:19,990 --> 02:08:17,930 hello and welcome back from lunch 2903 02:08:22,310 --> 02:08:20,000 everybody and uh welcome to those of you 2904 02:08:24,169 --> 02:08:22,320 watching us virtually 2905 02:08:26,270 --> 02:08:24,179 um I'm Nadia I am a Scientist by 2906 02:08:29,450 --> 02:08:26,280 training I'm also a science journalist 2907 02:08:31,070 --> 02:08:29,460 now and my job is to try and synthesize 2908 02:08:34,129 --> 02:08:31,080 the information that we've learned so 2909 02:08:36,649 --> 02:08:34,139 far and summarize the situation so if 2910 02:08:39,410 --> 02:08:36,659 you will put together a framework for 2911 02:08:41,750 --> 02:08:39,420 thinking about UAP now I'm going to try 2912 02:08:43,490 --> 02:08:41,760 and do this in a way that reflects the 2913 02:08:45,649 --> 02:08:43,500 thoughts of the entire panel although 2914 02:08:48,229 --> 02:08:45,659 obviously we have a variety of opinions 2915 02:08:50,149 --> 02:08:48,239 and ideas Among Us so I'd like to leave 2916 02:08:52,250 --> 02:08:50,159 some time at the end for you to weigh in 2917 02:08:53,510 --> 02:08:52,260 with disagreements or concurrences as 2918 02:08:56,390 --> 02:08:53,520 needed 2919 02:08:58,850 --> 02:08:56,400 so first a housekeeping matter the 2920 02:09:00,910 --> 02:08:58,860 definition of UAP changed during the 2921 02:09:03,530 --> 02:09:00,920 seven months of our fact-finding process 2922 02:09:05,629 --> 02:09:03,540 UAP initially stood for unidentified 2923 02:09:07,310 --> 02:09:05,639 aerial phenomena with Ariel referring to 2924 02:09:10,070 --> 02:09:07,320 events occurring in Earth's atmosphere 2925 02:09:12,350 --> 02:09:10,080 that a is now defined as anomalous which 2926 02:09:14,570 --> 02:09:12,360 includes the space air and undersea 2927 02:09:16,370 --> 02:09:14,580 domains as a panel I think we have 2928 02:09:18,350 --> 02:09:16,380 decided to continue focusing our 2929 02:09:20,030 --> 02:09:18,360 recommendations on the aerial domain 2930 02:09:22,250 --> 02:09:20,040 because that is where the majority of 2931 02:09:24,109 --> 02:09:22,260 sightings and events have occurred and 2932 02:09:25,609 --> 02:09:24,119 also because we couldn't fully pivot to 2933 02:09:28,189 --> 02:09:25,619 address the expanded scope of the new 2934 02:09:32,990 --> 02:09:30,290 beyond that there are three points I 2935 02:09:35,570 --> 02:09:33,000 want to make the first is that for UAP 2936 02:09:39,229 --> 02:09:35,580 are obviously quite interesting right 2937 02:09:41,209 --> 02:09:39,239 that is why we are here 2938 02:09:43,370 --> 02:09:41,219 recently many credible Witnesses have 2939 02:09:45,229 --> 02:09:43,380 reported seeing unidentified objects in 2940 02:09:48,470 --> 02:09:45,239 the sky some of which are behaving 2941 02:09:50,689 --> 02:09:48,480 rather peculiarly peculiarly 2942 02:09:52,189 --> 02:09:50,699 in some instances these reports include 2943 02:09:54,709 --> 02:09:52,199 corroborating data from various 2944 02:09:57,530 --> 02:09:54,719 instruments various sensors 2945 02:09:59,390 --> 02:09:57,540 the challenge that we have is that the 2946 02:10:01,910 --> 02:09:59,400 data needed to explain these anomalous 2947 02:10:04,070 --> 02:10:01,920 sightings often do not exist or 2948 02:10:05,930 --> 02:10:04,080 incomplete for generating a conclusive 2949 02:10:08,689 --> 02:10:05,940 analysis 2950 02:10:10,370 --> 02:10:08,699 this includes eyewitness reports which 2951 02:10:12,530 --> 02:10:10,380 on their own can be interesting and 2952 02:10:14,330 --> 02:10:12,540 compelling but often lack the 2953 02:10:17,689 --> 02:10:14,340 information needed to make definitive 2954 02:10:19,669 --> 02:10:17,699 conclusions about an object's provenance 2955 02:10:21,470 --> 02:10:19,679 we as a panel are thinking about the 2956 02:10:23,570 --> 02:10:21,480 types of data that might add value to 2957 02:10:25,490 --> 02:10:23,580 those reports and which could be useful 2958 02:10:28,850 --> 02:10:25,500 on their own 2959 02:10:31,070 --> 02:10:28,860 as a corollary to date in the refereed 2960 02:10:32,810 --> 02:10:31,080 scientific literature there is no 2961 02:10:36,109 --> 02:10:32,820 conclusive evidence suggesting an 2962 02:10:38,209 --> 02:10:36,119 extraterrestrial origin for UAP 2963 02:10:40,250 --> 02:10:38,219 collecting more good data for the 2964 02:10:41,930 --> 02:10:40,260 scientific Community to review in a 2965 02:10:46,850 --> 02:10:41,940 peer-reviewed context will be important 2966 02:10:46,860 --> 02:10:49,970 foreign 2967 02:10:55,430 --> 02:10:53,450 UAP offer an excellent opportunity to 2968 02:10:58,129 --> 02:10:55,440 demonstrate the power of the scientific 2969 02:10:59,750 --> 02:10:58,139 method and of empirically addressing a 2970 02:11:00,950 --> 02:10:59,760 question using a multi-disciplinary 2971 02:11:03,290 --> 02:11:00,960 approach 2972 02:11:05,270 --> 02:11:03,300 it is our job as a panel to make some 2973 02:11:07,910 --> 02:11:05,280 recommendations about how NASA might go 2974 02:11:09,470 --> 02:11:07,920 about tackling this topic scientifically 2975 02:11:13,129 --> 02:11:09,480 taking advantage of the agency's 2976 02:11:15,709 --> 02:11:13,139 resources Global Outreach and reputation 2977 02:11:17,930 --> 02:11:15,719 key points to keep in mind here 2978 02:11:19,490 --> 02:11:17,940 are that science is hypo science is 2979 02:11:21,709 --> 02:11:19,500 hypothesis driven 2980 02:11:24,550 --> 02:11:21,719 scientists build confidence in their 2981 02:11:26,810 --> 02:11:24,560 theories by relying on well-calibrated 2982 02:11:29,209 --> 02:11:26,820 well-collected data using 2983 02:11:32,990 --> 02:11:29,219 well-established methods with rigorous 2984 02:11:36,410 --> 02:11:33,000 evaluation and independent corroboration 2985 02:11:38,030 --> 02:11:36,420 in science skepticism is not a bias nor 2986 02:11:40,310 --> 02:11:38,040 is it a bad word 2987 02:11:41,990 --> 02:11:40,320 it is not our job to Define nature but 2988 02:11:44,750 --> 02:11:42,000 to study it in ways that let nature 2989 02:11:47,030 --> 02:11:44,760 reveal itself to us regardless of how 2990 02:11:48,709 --> 02:11:47,040 exciting or disappointing that reality 2991 02:11:50,330 --> 02:11:48,719 might be 2992 02:11:52,550 --> 02:11:50,340 and to that end when we're thinking 2993 02:11:53,810 --> 02:11:52,560 about making recommendations about how 2994 02:11:55,970 --> 02:11:53,820 NASA can tackle this topic 2995 02:11:57,589 --> 02:11:55,980 scientifically I think it's important to 2996 02:11:58,910 --> 02:11:57,599 remember that it's not NASA's job to 2997 02:12:00,950 --> 02:11:58,920 replicate the efforts of the Department 2998 02:12:02,990 --> 02:12:00,960 of Defense but rather to consider 2999 02:12:04,729 --> 02:12:03,000 approaches that are complementary to 3000 02:12:07,129 --> 02:12:04,739 what the all domain anomaly resolution 3001 02:12:08,870 --> 02:12:07,139 office is doing 3002 02:12:11,390 --> 02:12:08,880 and so one of the questions that we as a 3003 02:12:13,609 --> 02:12:11,400 panel I think need to Center is what can 3004 02:12:16,550 --> 02:12:13,619 we recommend that NASA can do that the 3005 02:12:20,990 --> 02:12:19,010 third point to that end what are we even 3006 02:12:22,129 --> 02:12:21,000 looking for how are we defining this 3007 02:12:24,109 --> 02:12:22,139 problem 3008 02:12:26,510 --> 02:12:24,119 and how do the available data Define 3009 02:12:28,490 --> 02:12:26,520 what seems to be to borrow a cliche a 3010 02:12:29,750 --> 02:12:28,500 very slender needle in a very big 3011 02:12:31,129 --> 02:12:29,760 haystack 3012 02:12:34,550 --> 02:12:31,139 we heard a little bit about that today 3013 02:12:36,729 --> 02:12:34,560 from Dr Kirkpatrick who reported that 3014 02:12:40,370 --> 02:12:36,739 there have been 800 events 3015 02:12:42,709 --> 02:12:40,380 collected over about 27 years 3016 02:12:44,510 --> 02:12:42,719 and between two and five percent of 3017 02:12:47,030 --> 02:12:44,520 those events display signatures that 3018 02:12:48,950 --> 02:12:47,040 could be anomalous defined as anything 3019 02:12:51,109 --> 02:12:48,960 that is not readily understandable by 3020 02:12:54,229 --> 02:12:51,119 the operator or the sensor something 3021 02:12:58,910 --> 02:12:56,689 Mr free and some of the experts on our 3022 02:13:01,370 --> 02:12:58,920 panel have defined the background on 3023 02:13:04,069 --> 02:13:01,380 which those events exist the amount of 3024 02:13:05,870 --> 02:13:04,079 stuff in the sky at any given time like 3025 02:13:08,629 --> 02:13:05,880 so 3026 02:13:11,209 --> 02:13:08,639 on average FAA air traffic control 3027 02:13:14,390 --> 02:13:11,219 handles 45 000 flights per day in U.S 3028 02:13:15,830 --> 02:13:14,400 airspace with 5400 aircraft in the sky 3029 02:13:17,689 --> 02:13:15,840 at Peak time 3030 02:13:20,330 --> 02:13:17,699 worldwide on average there are about 3031 02:13:22,970 --> 02:13:20,340 1600 weather balloon launches per day 3032 02:13:24,290 --> 02:13:22,980 in the U.S there are at least 184 of 3033 02:13:25,850 --> 02:13:24,300 those balloons launched and that doesn't 3034 02:13:27,410 --> 02:13:25,860 include private companies or research 3035 02:13:29,689 --> 02:13:27,420 flights 3036 02:13:32,330 --> 02:13:29,699 there are about 1.69 million 3037 02:13:33,830 --> 02:13:32,340 recreational or model small uncrewed 3038 02:13:36,709 --> 02:13:33,840 aircraft systems 3039 02:13:38,140 --> 02:13:36,719 and an additional 880 000 drones are 3040 02:13:39,350 --> 02:13:38,150 registered for commercial use 3041 02:13:40,729 --> 02:13:39,360 [Music] 3042 02:13:42,649 --> 02:13:40,739 and these are not controlled by air 3043 02:13:44,270 --> 02:13:42,659 traffic control and they are not 3044 02:13:45,470 --> 02:13:44,280 scheduled flights 3045 02:13:47,890 --> 02:13:45,480 so that's our challenge 3046 02:13:50,270 --> 02:13:47,900 [Music] 3047 02:13:52,069 --> 02:13:50,280 so when making recommendations as a 3048 02:13:54,290 --> 02:13:52,079 panel I think we need to look at what 3049 02:13:56,030 --> 02:13:54,300 kind of imprint we want to leave what 3050 02:13:58,189 --> 02:13:56,040 does the situation look like five years 3051 02:13:59,209 --> 02:13:58,199 from now what does it look like 10 years 3052 02:14:02,030 --> 02:13:59,219 from now 3053 02:14:03,530 --> 02:14:02,040 why are we making these recommendations 3054 02:14:06,109 --> 02:14:03,540 we heard a little bit about this this 3055 02:14:07,609 --> 02:14:06,119 morning from both Mike and David who 3056 02:14:09,709 --> 02:14:07,619 noted that many discoveries in science 3057 02:14:12,530 --> 02:14:09,719 are rooted and initially unexplained and 3058 02:14:14,689 --> 02:14:12,540 bizarre phenomena so by carefully 3059 02:14:17,149 --> 02:14:14,699 scrutinizing the sky or however we end 3060 02:14:18,950 --> 02:14:17,159 up defining our search space and by 3061 02:14:21,050 --> 02:14:18,960 collaborating across disciplines we are 3062 02:14:23,209 --> 02:14:21,060 likely to learn new things about our 3063 02:14:24,950 --> 02:14:23,219 planet that's a fact 3064 02:14:25,970 --> 02:14:24,960 and that's the commensal science case we 3065 02:14:26,970 --> 02:14:25,980 might want to consider when making 3066 02:14:28,129 --> 02:14:26,980 recommendations here 3067 02:14:30,770 --> 02:14:28,139 [Music] 3068 02:14:33,290 --> 02:14:30,780 all right 3069 02:14:37,669 --> 02:14:33,300 does anyone have questions thoughts 3070 02:14:37,679 --> 02:14:40,970 oh Carlin 3071 02:14:45,840 --> 02:14:43,250 I guess I want to challenge a little bit 3072 02:14:51,350 --> 02:14:47,890 [Music] 3073 02:14:53,390 --> 02:14:51,360 but I'm not sure we've precluded 3074 02:14:55,910 --> 02:14:53,400 um anything beyond the aerial for this 3075 02:14:57,490 --> 02:14:55,920 panel and and so I'm just very excited 3076 02:14:59,990 --> 02:14:57,500 because the question for us even though 3077 02:15:02,990 --> 02:15:00,000 mostly what we've seen and I think 3078 02:15:04,850 --> 02:15:03,000 Nash's NASA's mission space will be more 3079 02:15:07,490 --> 02:15:04,860 the aerial 3080 02:15:09,470 --> 02:15:07,500 I agree with you and I think that is a 3081 02:15:11,810 --> 02:15:09,480 parameter that we need to Define as a 3082 02:15:15,950 --> 02:15:14,450 I'll just uh quickly jump in and Echo 3083 02:15:17,990 --> 02:15:15,960 some remarks I made this morning that 3084 02:15:20,750 --> 02:15:18,000 yes the a change from aerial to 3085 02:15:22,729 --> 02:15:20,760 anomalous but it's also accurate to say 3086 02:15:25,189 --> 02:15:22,739 that the preponderance for events 3087 02:15:27,649 --> 02:15:25,199 are in the aerial domain that being said 3088 02:15:29,330 --> 02:15:27,659 your panel scope has expanded outwards 3089 02:15:32,990 --> 02:15:29,340 so I think we'll hear a little bit um 3090 02:15:35,569 --> 02:15:33,000 from David later on that very subject 3091 02:15:37,669 --> 02:15:35,579 I mean I think anomalous 3092 02:15:40,790 --> 02:15:37,679 people often think about it as going 3093 02:15:43,010 --> 02:15:40,800 down including ocean but I think what's 3094 02:15:46,729 --> 02:15:43,020 very relevant for NASA is going out 3095 02:15:48,229 --> 02:15:46,739 right and you know looking at things in 3096 02:15:50,870 --> 02:15:48,239 our solar system 3097 02:15:52,129 --> 02:15:50,880 and I think in some sense 3098 02:15:55,189 --> 02:15:52,139 um I think there's certain 3099 02:15:57,890 --> 02:15:55,199 responsibilities in you know we look at 3100 02:16:01,550 --> 02:15:57,900 airspace there's FAA responsibilities 3101 02:16:03,609 --> 02:16:01,560 there's DOD responsibilities as you get 3102 02:16:06,470 --> 02:16:03,619 further and further away from the earth 3103 02:16:08,990 --> 02:16:06,480 eventually it's all massive 3104 02:16:10,970 --> 02:16:09,000 once you get up you know towards you 3105 02:16:13,550 --> 02:16:10,980 know most certainly much of the solar 3106 02:16:18,169 --> 02:16:13,560 system and out uh to our galaxy that's 3107 02:16:21,050 --> 02:16:18,179 all massive and uh when we start you 3108 02:16:22,250 --> 02:16:21,060 know thinking about things like uh you 3109 02:16:23,990 --> 02:16:22,260 know and this will be you know David 3110 02:16:25,910 --> 02:16:24,000 will get to this observations beyond the 3111 02:16:29,569 --> 02:16:25,920 Earth's atmosphere I think this change 3112 02:16:31,609 --> 02:16:29,579 in language lets us also think about uh 3113 02:16:35,030 --> 02:16:31,619 out you know further out 3114 02:16:36,770 --> 02:16:35,040 in the solar system as well 3115 02:16:39,290 --> 02:16:36,780 good yeah 3116 02:16:41,629 --> 02:16:39,300 other thoughts 3117 02:16:46,669 --> 02:16:41,639 great did I summarize everything totally 3118 02:16:46,679 --> 02:16:56,830 well 3119 02:17:05,270 --> 02:16:58,969 all right 3120 02:17:09,349 --> 02:17:05,280 was the perfect uh intro and segue by Dr 3121 02:17:12,110 --> 02:17:09,359 Drake for addressing why NASA uh what 3122 02:17:13,910 --> 02:17:12,120 what is or what are NASA's roles in UAP 3123 02:17:17,570 --> 02:17:13,920 studies 3124 02:17:19,250 --> 02:17:17,580 so NASA primarily is a science-driven 3125 02:17:22,129 --> 02:17:19,260 agency 3126 02:17:25,190 --> 02:17:22,139 committed to exploring and understanding 3127 02:17:27,169 --> 02:17:25,200 air and space and this includes as we 3128 02:17:29,810 --> 02:17:27,179 were just discussing the unknown right 3129 02:17:31,790 --> 02:17:29,820 whether that's the farthest reaches of 3130 02:17:33,290 --> 02:17:31,800 the universe or right here on our home 3131 02:17:36,349 --> 02:17:33,300 planet 3132 02:17:39,110 --> 02:17:36,359 in that light NASA has over 60 years of 3133 02:17:41,570 --> 02:17:39,120 experience measuring phenomena in air 3134 02:17:43,370 --> 02:17:41,580 and space in space 3135 02:17:45,110 --> 02:17:43,380 um an air that might be Aeronautics 3136 02:17:46,969 --> 02:17:45,120 astronomy 3137 02:17:50,089 --> 02:17:46,979 as well as measuring other Earth 3138 02:17:52,490 --> 02:17:50,099 phenomena and this may include aquatic 3139 02:17:54,169 --> 02:17:52,500 or atmospheric phenomena as well and 3140 02:17:56,089 --> 02:17:54,179 they do this using the unique vantage 3141 02:17:59,209 --> 02:17:56,099 point of space 3142 02:18:02,570 --> 02:17:59,219 NASA's Mission data and Technical 3143 02:18:05,870 --> 02:18:02,580 expertise in science and engineering may 3144 02:18:07,790 --> 02:18:05,880 also help investigate and understand any 3145 02:18:10,790 --> 02:18:07,800 of the reported phenomena 3146 02:18:13,250 --> 02:18:10,800 it makes sense to explore what new 3147 02:18:15,889 --> 02:18:13,260 observations or measurements or studies 3148 02:18:17,929 --> 02:18:15,899 might contribute to the understanding of 3149 02:18:20,929 --> 02:18:17,939 reported phenomena 3150 02:18:22,669 --> 02:18:20,939 in that light uh Dr Fox made this point 3151 02:18:25,910 --> 02:18:22,679 this morning there's a tremendous 3152 02:18:27,830 --> 02:18:25,920 Archive of NASA data these are from 3153 02:18:29,750 --> 02:18:27,840 satellites and other space-based and 3154 02:18:31,610 --> 02:18:29,760 ground networks as well as other assets 3155 02:18:34,549 --> 02:18:31,620 and these are freely and openly 3156 02:18:38,030 --> 02:18:34,559 available to the public 3157 02:18:41,209 --> 02:18:38,040 NASA research as was mentioned also 3158 02:18:43,810 --> 02:18:41,219 supports a wide range of methods 3159 02:18:46,910 --> 02:18:43,820 this includes Advanced Data analysis 3160 02:18:49,490 --> 02:18:46,920 modeling Cutting Edge computational and 3161 02:18:52,429 --> 02:18:49,500 data visualization tools and these are 3162 02:18:53,870 --> 02:18:52,439 all useful for investigating unexplained 3163 02:18:56,929 --> 02:18:53,880 observations 3164 02:18:59,570 --> 02:18:56,939 which may be crucial in studying these 3165 02:19:03,709 --> 02:19:02,509 discoveries and results are all publicly 3166 02:19:05,270 --> 02:19:03,719 available 3167 02:19:07,009 --> 02:19:05,280 and this can be something from the 3168 02:19:09,230 --> 02:19:07,019 characterization of extraterrestrial 3169 02:19:10,129 --> 02:19:09,240 solar planets or the hole in the ozone 3170 02:19:11,929 --> 02:19:10,139 layer 3171 02:19:15,650 --> 02:19:11,939 and these are communicated publicly 3172 02:19:18,230 --> 02:19:15,660 through many outlets through the agency 3173 02:19:19,490 --> 02:19:18,240 NASA also has a long-standing public 3174 02:19:21,889 --> 02:19:19,500 Trust 3175 02:19:24,730 --> 02:19:21,899 this is essential to communicate those 3176 02:19:27,530 --> 02:19:24,740 findings about phenomena to the public 3177 02:19:29,929 --> 02:19:27,540 and as was mentioned several times very 3178 02:19:32,690 --> 02:19:29,939 important to destigmatize 3179 02:19:37,009 --> 02:19:32,700 the reporting and raise awareness of 3180 02:19:39,709 --> 02:19:37,019 cultural and social barriers to doing so 3181 02:19:41,570 --> 02:19:39,719 NASA has a unique strength in leveraging 3182 02:19:43,849 --> 02:19:41,580 public and private Partnerships that 3183 02:19:45,410 --> 02:19:43,859 could result in new technologies that 3184 02:19:47,870 --> 02:19:45,420 may be useful in observing and 3185 02:19:49,370 --> 02:19:47,880 understanding reported phenomena 3186 02:19:51,110 --> 02:19:49,380 these Partners could include other 3187 02:19:55,070 --> 02:19:51,120 federal agencies we've heard from the 3188 02:19:56,870 --> 02:19:55,080 FAA today as well as NOAA was identified 3189 02:19:59,450 --> 02:19:56,880 and they may collect data that could 3190 02:20:02,929 --> 02:19:59,460 help to understand reported phenomena 3191 02:20:05,389 --> 02:20:02,939 in addition NASA has a strong 3192 02:20:07,610 --> 02:20:05,399 record of international collaboration 3193 02:20:09,889 --> 02:20:07,620 which could be beneficial 3194 02:20:12,530 --> 02:20:09,899 to study any of these phenomena as that 3195 02:20:14,630 --> 02:20:12,540 may require Global cooperation and data 3196 02:20:18,050 --> 02:20:14,640 sharing 3197 02:20:20,150 --> 02:20:18,060 and then one thing that really strikes 3198 02:20:22,130 --> 02:20:20,160 me is that new 3199 02:20:24,050 --> 02:20:22,140 understanding of anomalous events really 3200 02:20:26,030 --> 02:20:24,060 comes from when we bring communities 3201 02:20:29,210 --> 02:20:26,040 together interdisciplinary communities 3202 02:20:31,310 --> 02:20:29,220 that would not necessarily collaborate 3203 02:20:33,050 --> 02:20:31,320 um in in in my world that might be 3204 02:20:34,610 --> 02:20:33,060 biological and physical oceanographers 3205 02:20:35,750 --> 02:20:34,620 and I tell people to think a little more 3206 02:20:38,150 --> 02:20:35,760 broadly what if we brought together 3207 02:20:39,530 --> 02:20:38,160 astronomers and earth scientists like we 3208 02:20:40,610 --> 02:20:39,540 did on this panel 3209 02:20:42,770 --> 02:20:40,620 so 3210 02:20:44,929 --> 02:20:42,780 um that those interdisciplinary research 3211 02:20:47,050 --> 02:20:44,939 teams as well as citizen scientists 3212 02:20:50,389 --> 02:20:47,060 could explore historical and current 3213 02:20:52,490 --> 02:20:50,399 NASA and partner data for events or more 3214 02:20:55,190 --> 02:20:52,500 importantly for environmental conditions 3215 02:20:57,710 --> 02:20:55,200 around the time of reported events this 3216 02:21:00,650 --> 02:20:57,720 may help in our understanding 3217 02:21:02,990 --> 02:21:00,660 and then finally given NASA's experience 3218 02:21:06,170 --> 02:21:03,000 with long-term missions long-term 3219 02:21:08,750 --> 02:21:06,180 projects and scientific Focus the agency 3220 02:21:11,170 --> 02:21:08,760 is really well equipped to handle the 3221 02:21:15,110 --> 02:21:11,180 extensive and ongoing study of phenomena 3222 02:21:17,870 --> 02:21:15,120 investigation that this likely requires 3223 02:21:20,570 --> 02:21:17,880 so hopefully that gave you some thoughts 3224 02:21:23,090 --> 02:21:20,580 as to why NASA I don't know if any of my 3225 02:21:24,310 --> 02:21:23,100 fellow panelists agree or disagree 3226 02:21:27,710 --> 02:21:24,320 discuss 3227 02:21:31,910 --> 02:21:27,720 [Laughter] 3228 02:21:35,690 --> 02:21:31,920 yes father thank you so NASA has a great 3229 02:21:38,270 --> 02:21:35,700 visibility in the community and not and 3230 02:21:40,610 --> 02:21:38,280 uaps are obviously of great interest to 3231 02:21:41,990 --> 02:21:40,620 a very diverse range of people so can 3232 02:21:46,130 --> 02:21:42,000 you speak a bit about the opportunity 3233 02:21:47,809 --> 02:21:46,140 that this provides for NASA to expand 3234 02:21:49,429 --> 02:21:47,819 um you know the knowledge of the 3235 02:21:50,809 --> 02:21:49,439 understanding of the scientific method 3236 02:21:53,690 --> 02:21:50,819 yes 3237 02:21:55,790 --> 02:21:53,700 um so it's a great question uh there are 3238 02:21:57,290 --> 02:21:55,800 multiple opportunities I think UAP 3239 02:21:59,210 --> 02:21:57,300 present 3240 02:22:02,450 --> 02:21:59,220 um the first as I mentioned I think is 3241 02:22:04,670 --> 02:22:02,460 to bring together interdisciplinary 3242 02:22:07,370 --> 02:22:04,680 research teams and scientists and 3243 02:22:09,950 --> 02:22:07,380 citizen scientists to really take a look 3244 02:22:11,270 --> 02:22:09,960 at with an objective and perhaps unique 3245 02:22:13,969 --> 02:22:11,280 eye 3246 02:22:17,270 --> 02:22:13,979 um what the NASA data archive actually 3247 02:22:18,830 --> 02:22:17,280 means blend in the Partnerships A 3248 02:22:20,690 --> 02:22:18,840 Renewed partnership that's at the 3249 02:22:22,790 --> 02:22:20,700 federal the international and the 3250 02:22:24,349 --> 02:22:22,800 private level right 3251 02:22:27,410 --> 02:22:24,359 um so I think there are any number of 3252 02:22:29,929 --> 02:22:27,420 Pathways that people could pursue that 3253 02:22:32,389 --> 02:22:29,939 could be really advantageous for helping 3254 02:22:37,429 --> 02:22:32,399 us to understand what's happening with 3255 02:22:37,439 --> 02:22:41,450 the questions 3256 02:22:46,309 --> 02:22:44,450 thank you Paula this is Jolly Wright um 3257 02:22:48,969 --> 02:22:46,319 actually my question and comment 3258 02:22:51,830 --> 02:22:48,979 actually goes to both uh you and Nadia 3259 02:22:54,710 --> 02:22:51,840 uh Dr Kirkpatrick gave us a definition 3260 02:22:56,570 --> 02:22:54,720 of anomalous that was that it was not 3261 02:22:58,010 --> 02:22:56,580 readily understandable to the operator 3262 02:23:00,530 --> 02:22:58,020 or the sensor 3263 02:23:02,630 --> 02:23:00,540 and from the NASA's perspective I'm for 3264 02:23:04,849 --> 02:23:02,640 our panel I think we have to consider a 3265 02:23:07,610 --> 02:23:04,859 broader definition if we're talking 3266 02:23:09,830 --> 02:23:07,620 about citizen science and I'm curious of 3267 02:23:11,570 --> 02:23:09,840 how we incorporate that especially 3268 02:23:14,690 --> 02:23:11,580 within the communication avenues that we 3269 02:23:18,050 --> 02:23:16,670 it's a good question 3270 02:23:19,250 --> 02:23:18,060 um so 3271 02:23:22,070 --> 02:23:19,260 um 3272 02:23:24,230 --> 02:23:22,080 not all data in an archive are user 3273 02:23:27,230 --> 02:23:24,240 friendly right right out of the the gate 3274 02:23:30,050 --> 02:23:27,240 but uh I think NASA does an excellent 3275 02:23:32,510 --> 02:23:30,060 job making things like quick look or 3276 02:23:34,429 --> 02:23:32,520 browse products available you can go on 3277 02:23:36,110 --> 02:23:34,439 the NASA website you can look at 3278 02:23:38,330 --> 02:23:36,120 different aspects of different things 3279 02:23:42,349 --> 02:23:38,340 that the agency has in its mission to 3280 02:23:44,030 --> 02:23:42,359 study and I think if nothing else people 3281 02:23:45,650 --> 02:23:44,040 have become a lot more in touch with 3282 02:23:48,889 --> 02:23:45,660 their surroundings and their environment 3283 02:23:51,349 --> 02:23:48,899 and the changes happening there and so I 3284 02:23:53,990 --> 02:23:51,359 think there's probably an opportunity uh 3285 02:23:57,050 --> 02:23:54,000 for people to maybe not become overnight 3286 02:23:59,870 --> 02:23:57,060 experts in how to process satellite data 3287 02:24:02,630 --> 02:23:59,880 and use it for basic research in a 3288 02:24:04,130 --> 02:24:02,640 complex fashion but there are ways to 3289 02:24:06,770 --> 02:24:04,140 utilize those data to look at your 3290 02:24:08,990 --> 02:24:06,780 environment if you think you've you know 3291 02:24:12,050 --> 02:24:09,000 seen something or you wish to report 3292 02:24:13,730 --> 02:24:12,060 something so communication engagement in 3293 02:24:16,790 --> 02:24:13,740 the public I think is a really important 3294 02:24:18,230 --> 02:24:16,800 part of the destigmatization for sure 3295 02:24:20,330 --> 02:24:18,240 Nadia I don't know if you have anything 3296 02:24:22,849 --> 02:24:20,340 to add 3297 02:24:24,650 --> 02:24:22,859 um I was I was struck by the phrase not 3298 02:24:26,990 --> 02:24:24,660 readily understandable I felt like that 3299 02:24:29,090 --> 02:24:27,000 was actually doing a lot of work 3300 02:24:30,830 --> 02:24:29,100 um so I think for our purposes we 3301 02:24:32,510 --> 02:24:30,840 probably want to come up with a slightly 3302 02:24:40,610 --> 02:24:32,520 more specific definition of what 3303 02:24:40,620 --> 02:24:51,170 thanks Federica 3304 02:24:56,210 --> 02:24:53,030 hello everybody my name is Federica 3305 02:24:58,070 --> 02:24:56,220 Bianco I am an astrophysicist and a data 3306 02:25:00,349 --> 02:24:58,080 scientist and I bring this perspective 3307 02:25:02,150 --> 02:25:00,359 to the panel so for the next few minutes 3308 02:25:03,290 --> 02:25:02,160 I want to emphasize some of the things 3309 02:25:05,450 --> 02:25:03,300 that my colleagues have already 3310 02:25:08,270 --> 02:25:05,460 mentioned about the data particularly 3311 02:25:10,730 --> 02:25:08,280 the status of the data that exists and 3312 02:25:13,969 --> 02:25:10,740 what the data that we should collect 3313 02:25:14,990 --> 02:25:13,979 um to really understand what maybe 3314 02:25:17,450 --> 02:25:15,000 um 3315 02:25:19,070 --> 02:25:17,460 we've already heard in a few cases by a 3316 02:25:20,870 --> 02:25:19,080 few people that NASA's role is to 3317 02:25:23,030 --> 02:25:20,880 explore the universe through the 3318 02:25:24,950 --> 02:25:23,040 scientific method the application of the 3319 02:25:27,889 --> 02:25:24,960 scientific method to Discovery requires 3320 02:25:30,410 --> 02:25:27,899 that the data meets some standards that 3321 02:25:31,670 --> 02:25:30,420 allow the data-driven approach and there 3322 02:25:33,170 --> 02:25:31,680 are many standards that have been 3323 02:25:35,570 --> 02:25:33,180 established in the scientific community 3324 02:25:37,550 --> 02:25:35,580 over the years I can mention one for 3325 02:25:39,849 --> 02:25:37,560 example it's called the fair standard 3326 02:25:41,830 --> 02:25:39,859 where Fair stands for findability 3327 02:25:45,770 --> 02:25:41,840 accessibility 3328 02:25:48,650 --> 02:25:45,780 interoperability and reusability 3329 02:25:51,410 --> 02:25:48,660 the current status of the of the data 3330 02:25:53,270 --> 02:25:51,420 about uaps does not meet these standards 3331 02:25:55,309 --> 02:25:53,280 that their collection is inconsistent 3332 02:25:58,010 --> 02:25:55,319 it's in homogeneous it's uncalibrated 3333 02:26:00,550 --> 02:25:58,020 the data are poorly documented and 3334 02:26:03,050 --> 02:26:00,560 largely incomplete 3335 02:26:05,389 --> 02:26:03,060 they're also now not systematically 3336 02:26:08,330 --> 02:26:05,399 retrievable which causes a problem in 3337 02:26:10,130 --> 02:26:08,340 automation of the analysis so what could 3338 02:26:11,809 --> 02:26:10,140 benefit from data science and machine 3339 02:26:13,849 --> 02:26:11,819 learning methods from artificial 3340 02:26:15,950 --> 02:26:13,859 intelligence that is developing at a 3341 02:26:17,929 --> 02:26:15,960 rapid Pace but machine learning and AI 3342 02:26:20,630 --> 02:26:17,939 cannot be applied until the data mean 3343 02:26:22,429 --> 02:26:20,640 the standards even to study a single 3344 02:26:24,889 --> 02:26:22,439 event currently requires a significant 3345 02:26:26,570 --> 02:26:24,899 lift in retrieving the data and the 3346 02:26:29,150 --> 02:26:26,580 metadata that may or may not be 3347 02:26:31,309 --> 02:26:29,160 available and this lift is at the moment 3348 02:26:33,410 --> 02:26:31,319 entirely person power which means that 3349 02:26:34,969 --> 02:26:33,420 it cannot be automated to apply machine 3350 02:26:37,849 --> 02:26:34,979 learning methods 3351 02:26:39,530 --> 02:26:37,859 organized repositories need to exist to 3352 02:26:41,690 --> 02:26:39,540 enable the automation of retrieval of 3353 02:26:43,849 --> 02:26:41,700 the data and the metadata and this is a 3354 02:26:46,190 --> 02:26:43,859 necessary premise to enable the 3355 02:26:48,230 --> 02:26:46,200 systematic scientific approach to the 3356 02:26:50,090 --> 02:26:48,240 study of ouaps 3357 02:26:52,610 --> 02:26:50,100 anomaly detection is a well-developed 3358 02:26:54,290 --> 02:26:52,620 although notoriously hard discipline and 3359 02:26:56,030 --> 02:26:54,300 which has seen tremendous advances 3360 02:26:57,290 --> 02:26:56,040 recently with data science and machine 3361 02:27:00,469 --> 02:26:57,300 learning 3362 02:27:02,809 --> 02:27:00,479 usually this means that acting rare and 3363 02:27:05,510 --> 02:27:02,819 unusual signals in a complex that is 3364 02:27:06,349 --> 02:27:05,520 noisy and Rich with phenomena that we 3365 02:27:08,750 --> 02:27:06,359 know 3366 02:27:10,490 --> 02:27:08,760 so there are two general approaches to 3367 02:27:11,330 --> 02:27:10,500 anomaly detection in the scientific 3368 02:27:13,429 --> 02:27:11,340 community 3369 02:27:15,770 --> 02:27:13,439 one is the following if we know the 3370 02:27:17,630 --> 02:27:15,780 signal that we expect we can model it 3371 02:27:20,389 --> 02:27:17,640 and we can simulate it and maybe inject 3372 02:27:23,750 --> 02:27:20,399 it in our data so we can develop methods 3373 02:27:25,670 --> 02:27:23,760 that are specific to finding those exact 3374 02:27:26,570 --> 02:27:25,680 signals or signals that are similar to 3375 02:27:28,370 --> 02:27:26,580 those 3376 02:27:29,990 --> 02:27:28,380 and we might be able to conceptualize 3377 02:27:32,389 --> 02:27:30,000 signals coming from physical systems 3378 02:27:34,190 --> 02:27:32,399 that responds to the laws of physics as 3379 02:27:36,290 --> 02:27:34,200 we know them but we cannot 3380 02:27:38,990 --> 02:27:36,300 comprehensively produce all possible 3381 02:27:40,429 --> 02:27:39,000 signals that could relate to or explain 3382 02:27:42,469 --> 02:27:40,439 uaps 3383 02:27:44,690 --> 02:27:42,479 so the alternative approach in detecting 3384 02:27:47,450 --> 02:27:44,700 anomalies requires a thorough and deep 3385 02:27:50,870 --> 02:27:47,460 understanding of what is normal and 3386 02:27:52,550 --> 02:27:50,880 usual to tease out what is unusual and 3387 02:27:54,950 --> 02:27:52,560 unlike the rest 3388 02:27:56,870 --> 02:27:54,960 these methods typically found in the 3389 02:27:58,250 --> 02:27:56,880 realm of what we call unsupervised 3390 02:27:59,510 --> 02:27:58,260 machine learning 3391 02:28:02,150 --> 02:27:59,520 uh 3392 02:28:04,250 --> 02:28:02,160 what is usual maybe the balloons the 3393 02:28:06,710 --> 02:28:04,260 aircrafts and wealth of natural 3394 02:28:09,170 --> 02:28:06,720 phenomena that we have heard of and what 3395 02:28:11,690 --> 02:28:09,180 is unusual what is an anomaly means 3396 02:28:13,670 --> 02:28:11,700 anything in there is not consistent with 3397 02:28:15,349 --> 02:28:13,680 the way in which those things look in 3398 02:28:17,630 --> 02:28:15,359 our data 3399 02:28:19,730 --> 02:28:17,640 once the animal signal is detected it 3400 02:28:22,070 --> 02:28:19,740 can be studied in more deaths either 3401 02:28:24,469 --> 02:28:22,080 through the discovery data itself but 3402 02:28:26,330 --> 02:28:24,479 that may not be sufficient so then we 3403 02:28:29,210 --> 02:28:26,340 may need to collect additional data for 3404 02:28:31,010 --> 02:28:29,220 to study these on these anomalies and 3405 02:28:33,889 --> 02:28:31,020 this is something that in astrophysics 3406 02:28:36,469 --> 02:28:33,899 we typically refer to as follow-up data 3407 02:28:38,570 --> 02:28:36,479 this can be very hard especially if the 3408 02:28:40,670 --> 02:28:38,580 phenomena that are anomals are also 3409 02:28:43,490 --> 02:28:40,680 ephemeral in time so you have to 3410 02:28:45,710 --> 02:28:43,500 promptly respond to the detection and 3411 02:28:47,809 --> 02:28:45,720 set up follow-up observations it's an 3412 02:28:49,490 --> 02:28:47,819 extremely hard game but it's something 3413 02:28:51,830 --> 02:28:49,500 that is seeing a large developing in 3414 02:28:53,929 --> 02:28:51,840 astrophysics in recent years with the 3415 02:28:55,550 --> 02:28:53,939 study of anomalous detections in the 3416 02:28:57,950 --> 02:28:55,560 universe 3417 02:28:59,270 --> 02:28:57,960 this approach relies entirely on a 3418 02:29:01,309 --> 02:28:59,280 comprehensive and systematic 3419 02:29:03,650 --> 02:29:01,319 organization of the data which is 3420 02:29:06,770 --> 02:29:03,660 Paramount and on a deep understanding of 3421 02:29:08,150 --> 02:29:06,780 all the data that is actually usual and 3422 02:29:10,250 --> 02:29:08,160 known 3423 02:29:11,809 --> 02:29:10,260 the data that women want to collect 3424 02:29:14,450 --> 02:29:11,819 ideally will be collected in a 3425 02:29:17,690 --> 02:29:14,460 multi-sensor and multi-platform and 3426 02:29:19,570 --> 02:29:17,700 multi-site manner eyewitnesses reports I 3427 02:29:22,670 --> 02:29:19,580 want to elevate what Dr Drake said 3428 02:29:24,349 --> 02:29:22,680 cannot a certain the nature of uaps 3429 02:29:25,670 --> 02:29:24,359 however they should be considered 3430 02:29:27,830 --> 02:29:25,680 because they may contain important 3431 02:29:30,830 --> 02:29:27,840 information for example persistent 3432 02:29:33,650 --> 02:29:30,840 siting locations or seasonality but they 3433 02:29:36,950 --> 02:29:33,660 only really work if joined with 3434 02:29:38,389 --> 02:29:36,960 quantitative data collected by sensors 3435 02:29:39,889 --> 02:29:38,399 as well as biophysical and 3436 02:29:41,210 --> 02:29:39,899 psychophysical assessments of the 3437 02:29:43,730 --> 02:29:41,220 witness and the impact that the 3438 02:29:47,150 --> 02:29:43,740 experience has on them to really reveal 3439 02:29:47,870 --> 02:29:47,160 the nature of uaps 3440 02:29:49,730 --> 02:29:47,880 um 3441 02:29:52,250 --> 02:29:49,740 you've heard it from them from my 3442 02:29:53,990 --> 02:29:52,260 colleagues a number of times the data 3443 02:29:56,929 --> 02:29:54,000 needs to be collected by sensors that 3444 02:29:58,730 --> 02:29:56,939 need to be calibrated or calibratable so 3445 02:30:01,490 --> 02:29:58,740 we need to collect not only the data 3446 02:30:04,429 --> 02:30:01,500 images sound spectral characterization 3447 02:30:06,710 --> 02:30:04,439 of what we see but metadata the sensor 3448 02:30:08,690 --> 02:30:06,720 type the brand the brand of the sensor 3449 02:30:10,969 --> 02:30:08,700 the noise characteristics time of the 3450 02:30:12,849 --> 02:30:10,979 acquisition instrument sensitivity as 3451 02:30:15,469 --> 02:30:12,859 well as information about the 3452 02:30:18,290 --> 02:30:15,479 circumstances of the data collection for 3453 02:30:20,330 --> 02:30:18,300 example temperature or the location or 3454 02:30:22,130 --> 02:30:20,340 the conditions in which the sensor is at 3455 02:30:23,570 --> 02:30:22,140 the time of collecting the data 3456 02:30:25,790 --> 02:30:23,580 the data should be collected 3457 02:30:27,950 --> 02:30:25,800 simultaneously by different platforms 3458 02:30:31,070 --> 02:30:27,960 ideally ideally in different locations 3459 02:30:32,570 --> 02:30:31,080 in a multi-sensor system so some of the 3460 02:30:34,490 --> 02:30:32,580 data that we may want to collect are 3461 02:30:37,190 --> 02:30:34,500 images but also temperature sound 3462 02:30:40,190 --> 02:30:37,200 recording spectral data emissivity that 3463 02:30:42,490 --> 02:30:40,200 tells you the color in a very fine grid 3464 02:30:44,990 --> 02:30:42,500 um as well as other as well as 3465 02:30:47,389 --> 02:30:45,000 monitoring the motion of objects which 3466 02:30:49,550 --> 02:30:47,399 has been very important to identify what 3467 02:30:51,050 --> 02:30:49,560 we have seen as uaps that have been 3468 02:30:53,450 --> 02:30:51,060 reported 3469 02:30:54,889 --> 02:30:53,460 much of this certainly can be achieved 3470 02:30:58,190 --> 02:30:54,899 with professional grade infrastructure 3471 02:31:00,950 --> 02:30:58,200 and both new and existing infrastructure 3472 02:31:02,990 --> 02:31:00,960 to do that such as astrophysical and 3473 02:31:05,150 --> 02:31:03,000 geographical observatories both on the 3474 02:31:06,950 --> 02:31:05,160 ground and satellites some Modern 3475 02:31:08,690 --> 02:31:06,960 observatories in particular are designed 3476 02:31:11,030 --> 02:31:08,700 for the deflection of time anomalies 3477 02:31:12,830 --> 02:31:11,040 specifically as well as for the 3478 02:31:15,830 --> 02:31:12,840 detection of objects that move rapidly 3479 02:31:18,770 --> 02:31:15,840 in space near Earth objects asteroids 3480 02:31:20,870 --> 02:31:18,780 meteors Etc so those could be leveraged 3481 02:31:23,450 --> 02:31:20,880 for the study of uaps 3482 02:31:25,309 --> 02:31:23,460 there is also some effort in ongoing in 3483 02:31:27,230 --> 02:31:25,319 the developing of facilities that are 3484 02:31:30,110 --> 02:31:27,240 specifically to detect designed to 3485 02:31:31,610 --> 02:31:30,120 detect uaps and many of those comply 3486 02:31:33,110 --> 02:31:31,620 with the characteristics that I just 3487 02:31:35,090 --> 02:31:33,120 described 3488 02:31:37,790 --> 02:31:35,100 this level of information though can 3489 02:31:40,010 --> 02:31:37,800 also be obtained by the public we could 3490 02:31:43,370 --> 02:31:40,020 crowdsource the data collection if a 3491 02:31:45,230 --> 02:31:43,380 platform to crowdsource exists that 3492 02:31:47,270 --> 02:31:45,240 supports the collection of data and 3493 02:31:49,790 --> 02:31:47,280 metadata and the transmission of data 3494 02:31:51,469 --> 02:31:49,800 and metadata and we think that NASA 3495 02:31:54,130 --> 02:31:51,479 might be able to play an important role 3496 02:31:58,910 --> 02:31:54,140 in the development of this platform 3497 02:32:00,469 --> 02:31:58,920 to Echo Dr bontempi said NASA has a 3498 02:32:02,690 --> 02:32:00,479 wealth of experience in coordinating 3499 02:32:04,670 --> 02:32:02,700 scientific studies efforts across 3500 02:32:06,410 --> 02:32:04,680 discipline and domains serving as a 3501 02:32:08,630 --> 02:32:06,420 bridge between communities in the 3502 02:32:11,150 --> 02:32:08,640 interdisciplinary studies and studies 3503 02:32:13,969 --> 02:32:11,160 across different countries 3504 02:32:16,070 --> 02:32:13,979 all of these can be supported all of 3505 02:32:18,590 --> 02:32:16,080 these can be leveraged to support the 3506 02:32:20,870 --> 02:32:18,600 work of the other agencies in the 3507 02:32:25,010 --> 02:32:20,880 identification and explaining explaining 3508 02:32:27,469 --> 02:32:25,020 uaps NASA also has a really important 3509 02:32:29,750 --> 02:32:27,479 experience in data curation we have 3510 02:32:31,969 --> 02:32:29,760 heard about the sophistication of the 3511 02:32:34,490 --> 02:32:31,979 analysis of the data that NASA provides 3512 02:32:37,150 --> 02:32:34,500 of the sophistication of the calibration 3513 02:32:39,830 --> 02:32:37,160 the data that NASA shares 3514 02:32:43,670 --> 02:32:39,840 arrives to we have heard about the open 3515 02:32:45,590 --> 02:32:43,680 data policy that NASA data goes under 3516 02:32:47,990 --> 02:32:45,600 furthermore NASA has recently 3517 02:32:50,809 --> 02:32:48,000 spearheaded an effort to review NASA and 3518 02:32:53,570 --> 02:32:50,819 nazam partner archival data to prepare 3519 02:32:55,070 --> 02:32:53,580 them for machine learning and AI so that 3520 02:32:58,190 --> 02:32:55,080 data can be served to the community 3521 02:33:00,230 --> 02:32:58,200 directly and ready to apply AI methods 3522 02:33:02,570 --> 02:33:00,240 on it this is an important experience 3523 02:33:05,330 --> 02:33:02,580 that could be leveraged in the study of 3524 02:33:08,510 --> 02:33:05,340 uaps however we do want to emphasize 3525 02:33:11,210 --> 02:33:08,520 that the current status of the UAP data 3526 02:33:13,610 --> 02:33:11,220 will make this left really hard compared 3527 02:33:15,290 --> 02:33:13,620 to even what is being done by NASA for 3528 02:33:17,750 --> 02:33:15,300 astrophysical data 3529 02:33:19,309 --> 02:33:17,760 and finally I wanted to emphasize what 3530 02:33:22,250 --> 02:33:19,319 my colleague said NASA has a great 3531 02:33:25,010 --> 02:33:22,260 visibility uaps have a great power of 3532 02:33:27,590 --> 02:33:25,020 great public interest and this could be 3533 02:33:29,570 --> 02:33:27,600 an opportunity to really increase the 3534 02:33:31,790 --> 02:33:29,580 reach of science help people understand 3535 02:33:33,889 --> 02:33:31,800 the scientific process and maybe 3536 02:33:36,410 --> 02:33:33,899 diversify the scientific Community by 3537 02:33:38,450 --> 02:33:36,420 attracting new Talent into the 3538 02:33:40,429 --> 02:33:38,460 scientific Community due to the 3539 02:33:44,990 --> 02:33:40,439 visibility of the problem 3540 02:33:49,150 --> 02:33:45,000 and I think that's all of my remarks 3541 02:33:54,710 --> 02:33:52,130 so uh on the whole crowdsourcing front 3542 02:33:57,410 --> 02:33:54,720 and getting uh reports from citizen 3543 02:33:59,630 --> 02:33:57,420 scientists uh what do you think along 3544 02:34:02,630 --> 02:33:59,640 those lines is it uh providing a set of 3545 02:34:05,450 --> 02:34:02,640 guidelines for how you report is it open 3546 02:34:07,690 --> 02:34:05,460 sourcing a set of applications for cell 3547 02:34:10,910 --> 02:34:07,700 phones to be able to pull in a lot of 3548 02:34:12,710 --> 02:34:10,920 metadata uh what does that look like 3549 02:34:15,110 --> 02:34:12,720 yeah so 3550 02:34:19,370 --> 02:34:15,120 um I think guidance wouldn't just a set 3551 02:34:21,170 --> 02:34:19,380 of guidance of best practices Etc would 3552 02:34:24,110 --> 02:34:21,180 just now be sufficient I think what 3553 02:34:25,849 --> 02:34:24,120 needs to be provided is a platform you 3554 02:34:27,650 --> 02:34:25,859 mentioned cell phones cell phones have 3555 02:34:29,809 --> 02:34:27,660 been used for 3556 02:34:33,349 --> 02:34:29,819 um crowdsourcing the study and detection 3557 02:34:35,389 --> 02:34:33,359 of a number of things in astrophysics in 3558 02:34:38,510 --> 02:34:35,399 space science so that can definitely be 3559 02:34:41,690 --> 02:34:38,520 done the issue I think is going to be to 3560 02:34:43,969 --> 02:34:41,700 make sure that this platform is 3561 02:34:46,370 --> 02:34:43,979 um that this platform reaches a large 3562 02:34:48,710 --> 02:34:46,380 enough Community to really have a crowd 3563 02:34:50,630 --> 02:34:48,720 to Source the problem and coordination 3564 02:34:53,030 --> 02:34:50,640 something that this could achieve for 3565 02:34:54,950 --> 02:34:53,040 example is the follow-up that I 3566 02:34:57,349 --> 02:34:54,960 mentioned earlier right so we need this 3567 02:34:59,870 --> 02:34:57,359 community that would use 3568 02:35:02,570 --> 02:34:59,880 um the crowdsourcing facilities to be 3569 02:35:05,630 --> 02:35:02,580 connected so that if something is cited 3570 02:35:08,210 --> 02:35:05,640 by one person that message can go across 3571 02:35:09,530 --> 02:35:08,220 and a broader Community can point their 3572 02:35:10,730 --> 02:35:09,540 sensors 3573 02:35:14,389 --> 02:35:10,740 um to the problem 3574 02:35:16,070 --> 02:35:14,399 to the sighting and the data has to be 3575 02:35:17,270 --> 02:35:16,080 transmitted to that has to be 3576 02:35:20,710 --> 02:35:17,280 transmitted to a place that can 3577 02:35:22,969 --> 02:35:20,720 centralize it and curate it 3578 02:35:24,469 --> 02:35:22,979 yeah please feel free to say this is a 3579 02:35:26,570 --> 02:35:24,479 bad idea but if you thought about 3580 02:35:27,889 --> 02:35:26,580 synthetic data oh so as you were talking 3581 02:35:30,349 --> 02:35:27,899 I was thinking you know given the fact 3582 02:35:32,870 --> 02:35:30,359 we don't have enough quality data to 3583 02:35:34,730 --> 02:35:32,880 train a net a neural net if we're to 3584 02:35:36,290 --> 02:35:34,740 generate synthetic data based on the 3585 02:35:38,150 --> 02:35:36,300 information we do have and then filling 3586 02:35:40,190 --> 02:35:38,160 out the other characteristics as we 3587 02:35:43,190 --> 02:35:40,200 might guess because that that help us 3588 02:35:45,170 --> 02:35:43,200 train something to iterate an AI to be 3589 02:35:47,690 --> 02:35:45,180 to find other correlations within data 3590 02:35:50,210 --> 02:35:47,700 as we get it so we do it all the time in 3591 02:35:52,849 --> 02:35:50,220 data science right we do generate data 3592 02:35:54,710 --> 02:35:52,859 sets where the data sets our sparse or 3593 02:35:56,690 --> 02:35:54,720 scars and we cannot train machine 3594 02:35:59,090 --> 02:35:56,700 learning models it's a risky business 3595 02:36:01,969 --> 02:35:59,100 because in the data that we generate we 3596 02:36:03,590 --> 02:36:01,979 embed the bias that we have so we are 3597 02:36:05,990 --> 02:36:03,600 thinking about the data the way in which 3598 02:36:07,429 --> 02:36:06,000 we think the data looks and the way in 3599 02:36:09,530 --> 02:36:07,439 which the things that they anomalies 3600 02:36:12,110 --> 02:36:09,540 look so particularly in anomaly 3601 02:36:13,490 --> 02:36:12,120 detection it is a very difficult thing 3602 02:36:15,349 --> 02:36:13,500 to do 3603 02:36:18,590 --> 02:36:15,359 um to try to make sure that you don't 3604 02:36:20,210 --> 02:36:18,600 buy a Seer models to what you know I 3605 02:36:22,190 --> 02:36:20,220 want to come back to this topic of 3606 02:36:23,990 --> 02:36:22,200 anomaly discussion in our general 3607 02:36:26,330 --> 02:36:24,000 discussion we're sort of starting to run 3608 02:36:28,670 --> 02:36:26,340 a little late so want to cut off 3609 02:36:31,969 --> 02:36:28,680 questions now but we do have a little 3610 02:36:33,950 --> 02:36:31,979 time later at the end so don't forget 3611 02:36:35,750 --> 02:36:33,960 don't forget your questions bring them 3612 02:36:37,610 --> 02:36:35,760 up again in discussion and we'll we'll 3613 02:36:46,910 --> 02:36:37,620 talk more more later 3614 02:36:50,389 --> 02:36:48,710 all right good afternoon 3615 02:36:52,670 --> 02:36:50,399 my name is David grinspoon I'm a 3616 02:36:55,250 --> 02:36:52,680 planetary scientist and astrobiologist 3617 02:36:56,870 --> 02:36:55,260 and I'm going to talk for uh just a 3618 02:36:59,750 --> 02:36:56,880 couple of minutes about 3619 02:37:01,670 --> 02:36:59,760 um how observations beyond Earth are 3620 02:37:05,330 --> 02:37:01,680 relevant to 3621 02:37:06,770 --> 02:37:05,340 um our uh study of uaps 3622 02:37:09,710 --> 02:37:06,780 um 3623 02:37:11,809 --> 02:37:09,720 many of NASA's missions are at least in 3624 02:37:15,429 --> 02:37:11,819 part focused on answering the question 3625 02:37:17,990 --> 02:37:15,439 of whether life exists beyond Earth 3626 02:37:20,690 --> 02:37:18,000 astrobiology is the study of the origin 3627 02:37:22,849 --> 02:37:20,700 Evolution distribution and future of 3628 02:37:25,490 --> 02:37:22,859 life in the universe 3629 02:37:28,309 --> 02:37:25,500 as part of this we consider how to 3630 02:37:30,349 --> 02:37:28,319 search for biosignatures observations we 3631 02:37:33,770 --> 02:37:30,359 can make of other planets which may 3632 02:37:36,650 --> 02:37:33,780 might betray the presence of life so we 3633 02:37:39,050 --> 02:37:36,660 look for things like anomalous gases in 3634 02:37:42,110 --> 02:37:39,060 the atmospheres of planets and other 3635 02:37:44,630 --> 02:37:42,120 anomalies which may possibly reveal the 3636 02:37:46,730 --> 02:37:44,640 presence of life when we discover such 3637 02:37:49,250 --> 02:37:46,740 an anomaly we don't 3638 02:37:51,830 --> 02:37:49,260 conclude that we've discovered life we 3639 02:37:54,889 --> 02:37:51,840 seek more data to understand what we're 3640 02:37:56,330 --> 02:37:54,899 seeing and often this leads to other new 3641 02:37:58,370 --> 02:37:56,340 discoveries 3642 02:38:01,190 --> 02:37:58,380 similarly we can talk about looking for 3643 02:38:02,990 --> 02:38:01,200 techno signatures observations we can 3644 02:38:06,170 --> 02:38:03,000 make which might reveal the presence of 3645 02:38:08,270 --> 02:38:06,180 technological activity somewhere else 3646 02:38:10,730 --> 02:38:08,280 NASA is also supporting some research 3647 02:38:13,790 --> 02:38:10,740 studying techno signatures 3648 02:38:15,590 --> 02:38:13,800 while there is a present no evidence 3649 02:38:18,830 --> 02:38:15,600 we're aware of suggesting an 3650 02:38:20,809 --> 02:38:18,840 extraterrestrial source for uaps these 3651 02:38:23,330 --> 02:38:20,819 existing NASA programs are relevant to 3652 02:38:24,889 --> 02:38:23,340 the question of uaps in at least two 3653 02:38:26,210 --> 02:38:24,899 ways 3654 02:38:29,450 --> 02:38:26,220 first 3655 02:38:30,950 --> 02:38:29,460 researchers in astrobiology and seti the 3656 02:38:33,230 --> 02:38:30,960 search for extraterrestrial intelligence 3657 02:38:35,750 --> 02:38:33,240 have focused for many years on 3658 02:38:38,809 --> 02:38:35,760 techniques and methods for identifying 3659 02:38:40,849 --> 02:38:38,819 anomalous signatures and determining if 3660 02:38:43,250 --> 02:38:40,859 they have mundane natural explanations 3661 02:38:44,990 --> 02:38:43,260 as opposed to revealing unknown 3662 02:38:46,610 --> 02:38:45,000 biological or even technological 3663 02:38:48,650 --> 02:38:46,620 activity 3664 02:38:50,570 --> 02:38:48,660 the City Community has expertise and 3665 02:38:53,150 --> 02:38:50,580 methodologies for determining whether a 3666 02:38:55,550 --> 02:38:53,160 potential techno signature is in fact a 3667 02:38:57,710 --> 02:38:55,560 natural phenomenon or misinterpreted 3668 02:38:59,570 --> 02:38:57,720 terrestrial technology 3669 02:39:02,929 --> 02:38:59,580 when a possible techno signature is 3670 02:39:05,870 --> 02:39:02,939 observed we asked is it a real signal 3671 02:39:09,710 --> 02:39:05,880 is it a known or unknown natural 3672 02:39:13,730 --> 02:39:09,720 phenomena must it be technological 3673 02:39:15,950 --> 02:39:13,740 uh is it known terrestrial technology 3674 02:39:17,870 --> 02:39:15,960 so these scientific communities have 3675 02:39:20,150 --> 02:39:17,880 relevant experience in determining and 3676 02:39:22,610 --> 02:39:20,160 communicating about whether observations 3677 02:39:25,490 --> 02:39:22,620 which first appeared to reveal 3678 02:39:29,389 --> 02:39:25,500 extraordinary evidence actually justify 3679 02:39:33,170 --> 02:39:31,010 second 3680 02:39:35,750 --> 02:39:33,180 if we do acknowledge an extraterrestrial 3681 02:39:38,990 --> 02:39:35,760 Source however unlikely as one 3682 02:39:40,790 --> 02:39:39,000 possibility for uaps then these objects 3683 02:39:43,730 --> 02:39:40,800 must have traveled through the solar 3684 02:39:51,469 --> 02:39:47,330 Within the scientific Community there's 3685 02:39:53,150 --> 02:39:51,479 a widespread but by no means Universal 3686 02:39:55,309 --> 02:39:53,160 belief that there are extraterrestrial 3687 02:39:57,590 --> 02:39:55,319 civilizations and we have a 3688 02:39:59,030 --> 02:39:57,600 well-developed rationale there's a lot 3689 02:40:02,090 --> 02:39:59,040 of literature for discussing this which 3690 02:40:03,650 --> 02:40:02,100 I won't go into now uh in the interest 3691 02:40:05,809 --> 02:40:03,660 of brevity but it has to do with the 3692 02:40:08,270 --> 02:40:05,819 vast numbers of exoplanets and the time 3693 02:40:10,429 --> 02:40:08,280 scales of evolution and the possibility 3694 02:40:12,290 --> 02:40:10,439 of convergent evolution on different 3695 02:40:15,070 --> 02:40:12,300 planets leading to somewhat similar 3696 02:40:18,889 --> 02:40:15,080 outcomes it's a fascinating subject but 3697 02:40:21,050 --> 02:40:18,899 uh the the relevant Point here is that 3698 02:40:22,870 --> 02:40:21,060 the same rationale which support 3699 02:40:25,490 --> 02:40:22,880 supports the idea the extra 3700 02:40:28,790 --> 02:40:25,500 extraterrestrial civilizations may exist 3701 02:40:30,469 --> 02:40:28,800 and may be detectable also supports the 3702 02:40:33,110 --> 02:40:30,479 idea that finding extraterrestrial 3703 02:40:34,910 --> 02:40:33,120 artifacts in our own solar system is at 3704 02:40:37,309 --> 02:40:34,920 least plausible 3705 02:40:39,050 --> 02:40:37,319 NASA is the lead Agency for solar system 3706 02:40:41,270 --> 02:40:39,060 exploration 3707 02:40:42,889 --> 02:40:41,280 it already has an active program of 3708 02:40:45,230 --> 02:40:42,899 detecting objects in our Solar 3709 02:40:47,750 --> 02:40:45,240 neighborhood using both ground-based and 3710 02:40:49,370 --> 02:40:47,760 space-based facilities and it could 3711 02:40:51,530 --> 02:40:49,380 leverage those capabilities to search 3712 02:40:53,150 --> 02:40:51,540 for objects in space with anomalous 3713 02:40:55,370 --> 02:40:53,160 motion 3714 02:40:58,790 --> 02:40:55,380 anomalous trajectories 3715 02:41:01,550 --> 02:40:58,800 unusual light curves anomalous spectral 3716 02:41:03,889 --> 02:41:01,560 signatures or other characteristics 3717 02:41:06,710 --> 02:41:03,899 uh most of the solar system has not been 3718 02:41:09,710 --> 02:41:06,720 searched for artifacts or anomalies and 3719 02:41:12,110 --> 02:41:09,720 these modest data analysis efforts could 3720 02:41:14,389 --> 02:41:12,120 potentially be applied to existing and 3721 02:41:17,510 --> 02:41:14,399 planned planetary missions 3722 02:41:19,250 --> 02:41:17,520 the Galaxy does not stop at the edge of 3723 02:41:22,309 --> 02:41:19,260 the solar system and the solar system 3724 02:41:24,469 --> 02:41:22,319 does not stop at the top of the Earth's 3725 02:41:28,250 --> 02:41:24,479 atmosphere it's all a Continuum of 3726 02:41:30,710 --> 02:41:28,260 possibilities worthy of Investigation 3727 02:41:33,590 --> 02:41:30,720 if NASA applies the same rigorous 3728 02:41:35,690 --> 02:41:33,600 methodology toward uaps that it applies 3729 02:41:38,870 --> 02:41:35,700 to the study of possible life elsewhere 3730 02:41:40,670 --> 02:41:38,880 then we stand to learn something new and 3731 02:41:43,670 --> 02:41:40,680 interesting whatever the ultimate 3732 02:41:46,490 --> 02:41:43,680 explanation is of those phenomena 3733 02:41:49,309 --> 02:41:46,500 and that's all I wanted to say right now 3734 02:41:54,650 --> 02:41:49,319 now we have time for uh one or two 3735 02:41:57,830 --> 02:41:55,910 yeah 3736 02:41:59,809 --> 02:41:57,840 um thank you for that you know it struck 3737 02:42:03,710 --> 02:41:59,819 me while you were speaking 3738 02:42:05,870 --> 02:42:03,720 um about bio signatures that we do a lot 3739 02:42:07,809 --> 02:42:05,880 of that type of analysis right and our 3740 02:42:10,730 --> 02:42:07,819 home planet in in different capacities 3741 02:42:12,410 --> 02:42:10,740 and so it's more of a comment but I 3742 02:42:14,870 --> 02:42:12,420 wondered your thoughts on you know 3743 02:42:17,570 --> 02:42:14,880 bringing together those communities that 3744 02:42:20,349 --> 02:42:17,580 might not work together and whether that 3745 02:42:23,870 --> 02:42:20,359 would Aid in you know not only 3746 02:42:26,150 --> 02:42:23,880 establishing what's normal but you know 3747 02:42:28,550 --> 02:42:26,160 enabling the detection or maybe the 3748 02:42:31,670 --> 02:42:28,560 understanding explanation of a UAP if 3749 02:42:32,990 --> 02:42:31,680 reported absolutely I mean uh you know 3750 02:42:35,270 --> 02:42:33,000 the focus of my talk was was 3751 02:42:37,849 --> 02:42:35,280 observations elsewhere but in fact most 3752 02:42:39,710 --> 02:42:37,859 of what the field of astrobiology has to 3753 02:42:41,330 --> 02:42:39,720 study is here on Earth because after all 3754 02:42:42,830 --> 02:42:41,340 it's our one example of an inhabited 3755 02:42:46,070 --> 02:42:42,840 planet and it's a little bit easier to 3756 02:42:48,650 --> 02:42:46,080 get to to make observations so yes uh 3757 02:42:51,469 --> 02:42:48,660 any any insights do you have uh in that 3758 02:42:52,610 --> 02:42:51,479 area or any any suggestions for uh for 3759 02:42:59,809 --> 02:42:52,620 uh collaboration between those 3760 02:43:04,309 --> 02:43:02,330 so of course NASA hasn't been 3761 02:43:05,990 --> 02:43:04,319 researching the Techno signature field 3762 02:43:08,330 --> 02:43:06,000 for very long and there's been a stigma 3763 02:43:11,090 --> 02:43:08,340 with techno signatures for many decades 3764 02:43:13,790 --> 02:43:11,100 are there any Lessons Learned 3765 02:43:16,429 --> 02:43:13,800 we can impose from the Techno signature 3766 02:43:19,490 --> 02:43:16,439 in the study Community to the UAP and 3767 02:43:20,870 --> 02:43:19,500 solar system studies 3768 02:43:22,370 --> 02:43:20,880 so really 3769 02:43:24,830 --> 02:43:22,380 good question 3770 02:43:27,290 --> 02:43:24,840 um I guess the the immediate thought it 3771 02:43:29,330 --> 02:43:27,300 Sparks in me is that um 3772 02:43:33,349 --> 02:43:29,340 yeah techno signatures 3773 02:43:35,450 --> 02:43:33,359 were kind of treated uh at kept at arm's 3774 02:43:37,130 --> 02:43:35,460 length for a long time by NASA because 3775 02:43:40,250 --> 02:43:37,140 of stigma 3776 02:43:41,990 --> 02:43:40,260 um and ultimately uh 3777 02:43:44,510 --> 02:43:42,000 can't be kept 3778 02:43:46,610 --> 02:43:44,520 away forever if you're if you are an 3779 02:43:47,929 --> 02:43:46,620 agency curiosity driven trying to 3780 02:43:49,849 --> 02:43:47,939 understand the whole universe you have 3781 02:43:51,590 --> 02:43:49,859 to move Beyond stigmas and just try to 3782 02:43:53,690 --> 02:43:51,600 honestly look at whatever evidence there 3783 02:43:58,849 --> 02:43:53,700 is and so I think in that broad sense 3784 02:44:03,710 --> 02:44:01,490 um so someone who has been working in 3785 02:44:07,370 --> 02:44:03,720 astrobiology and data Sciences for some 3786 02:44:10,010 --> 02:44:07,380 time now it strikes me when both Dr 3787 02:44:11,389 --> 02:44:10,020 Bianco and you talked that the 3788 02:44:13,610 --> 02:44:11,399 differences that seem to me between 3789 02:44:17,450 --> 02:44:13,620 biosignatures and techno signatures 3790 02:44:19,130 --> 02:44:17,460 fields and UAP field again relies on the 3791 02:44:22,070 --> 02:44:19,140 data so biosignatures and techno 3792 02:44:24,349 --> 02:44:22,080 signatures they have are very well 3793 02:44:26,830 --> 02:44:24,359 standardized data sets they have collect 3794 02:44:29,389 --> 02:44:26,840 been collecting data sets for some time 3795 02:44:31,130 --> 02:44:29,399 and they are able to apply machine 3796 02:44:33,590 --> 02:44:31,140 learning artificial intelligence 3797 02:44:36,830 --> 02:44:33,600 algorithms while it's a totally 3798 02:44:38,990 --> 02:44:36,840 different question with uaps in how we 3799 02:44:43,610 --> 02:44:39,000 can apply artificial intelligence here 3800 02:44:47,510 --> 02:44:43,620 so again just like Dr how she said it's 3801 02:44:51,530 --> 02:44:47,520 about data standardization so I hope 3802 02:44:53,090 --> 02:44:51,540 that the UAP field will learn how to 3803 02:44:54,889 --> 02:44:53,100 work with the data from the 3804 02:44:57,110 --> 02:44:54,899 biosignatures and techno signatures 3805 02:44:58,910 --> 02:44:57,120 Fields yeah that's a good point the one 3806 02:45:00,830 --> 02:44:58,920 the one uh point I pushed back on a 3807 02:45:03,230 --> 02:45:00,840 little bit is whether techno signatures 3808 02:45:06,110 --> 02:45:03,240 has been has a lot of data in that sense 3809 02:45:09,110 --> 02:45:06,120 the the one part of techno signatures 3810 02:45:10,670 --> 02:45:09,120 which is looking for signals from radio 3811 02:45:12,230 --> 02:45:10,680 and Optical and that sort of thing 3812 02:45:13,610 --> 02:45:12,240 that's been you know associated with 3813 02:45:15,050 --> 02:45:13,620 study for a long time you're right 3814 02:45:17,210 --> 02:45:15,060 there's a lot of data there that we've 3815 02:45:18,830 --> 02:45:17,220 been collecting but the term techno 3816 02:45:21,889 --> 02:45:18,840 signature is this sort of newly being 3817 02:45:23,929 --> 02:45:21,899 adopted in it uh in a way it reminds me 3818 02:45:25,910 --> 02:45:23,939 of the distinction we heard um from the 3819 02:45:28,730 --> 02:45:25,920 FAA about a cooperative and you know 3820 02:45:30,230 --> 02:45:28,740 non-cooperative uh that with techno 3821 02:45:32,510 --> 02:45:30,240 signatures we're looking 3822 02:45:33,889 --> 02:45:32,520 um there's more of an emphasis on 3823 02:45:35,450 --> 02:45:33,899 finding 3824 02:45:37,790 --> 02:45:35,460 um technology that is not necessarily 3825 02:45:40,190 --> 02:45:37,800 intended to Signal us but just sort of 3826 02:45:41,929 --> 02:45:40,200 uh doing what technology does and 3827 02:45:43,910 --> 02:45:41,939 finding ways to you know so it's not 3828 02:45:45,830 --> 02:45:43,920 looking for signals as much and in that 3829 02:45:47,929 --> 02:45:45,840 domain we have not necessarily been 3830 02:45:49,790 --> 02:45:47,939 collecting information for that long but 3831 02:45:51,590 --> 02:45:49,800 but your point is well taken that there 3832 02:45:53,750 --> 02:45:51,600 are lessons learned from uh certainly 3833 02:45:55,490 --> 02:45:53,760 the astrobiology and the the sort of 3834 02:45:57,650 --> 02:45:55,500 classical seti field where we've had a 3835 02:46:00,230 --> 02:45:57,660 lot of data and we could look at how 3836 02:46:02,870 --> 02:46:00,240 that is analyzed and tried collect the 3837 02:46:05,870 --> 02:46:02,880 data for uaps that will be amenable to 3838 02:46:17,809 --> 02:46:05,880 that same sort of analysis 3839 02:46:22,190 --> 02:46:20,389 hello everybody I'm Carlin toner a 3840 02:46:24,230 --> 02:46:22,200 monerospace engineer 3841 02:46:26,090 --> 02:46:24,240 you know it really struck me when Dr 3842 02:46:28,910 --> 02:46:26,100 Drake opened up this afternoon and 3843 02:46:31,010 --> 02:46:28,920 talked about this really small needle in 3844 02:46:33,889 --> 02:46:31,020 a really big Haystack that we're looking 3845 02:46:36,410 --> 02:46:33,899 for and I'm going to talk to you about 3846 02:46:38,990 --> 02:46:36,420 reporting a theme that we've heard a lot 3847 02:46:41,090 --> 02:46:39,000 how can we make that Haystack smaller 3848 02:46:43,910 --> 02:46:41,100 and that needle bigger 3849 02:46:46,370 --> 02:46:43,920 so reporting of uip events has received 3850 02:46:48,410 --> 02:46:46,380 a lot of attention recently but I think 3851 02:46:50,330 --> 02:46:48,420 that there are still barriers for people 3852 02:46:52,969 --> 02:46:50,340 to report 3853 02:46:55,490 --> 02:46:52,979 how or where should they report will 3854 02:46:58,250 --> 02:46:55,500 someone take action on their report 3855 02:47:00,410 --> 02:46:58,260 will the reporter be believed or will 3856 02:47:03,110 --> 02:47:00,420 they be shamed 3857 02:47:05,510 --> 02:47:03,120 we've heard over the course of our fact 3858 02:47:08,809 --> 02:47:05,520 finding that many scientists and 3859 02:47:11,450 --> 02:47:08,819 aviators consider the study of uaps to 3860 02:47:13,370 --> 02:47:11,460 be Fringe at best 3861 02:47:15,650 --> 02:47:13,380 so this suggests there's a significant 3862 02:47:18,170 --> 02:47:15,660 negative stigma associated with 3863 02:47:20,170 --> 02:47:18,180 reporting or even researching such 3864 02:47:23,230 --> 02:47:20,180 phenomena 3865 02:47:25,910 --> 02:47:23,240 that said by encouraging military 3866 02:47:28,070 --> 02:47:25,920 aviators to disclose anomalies that 3867 02:47:30,170 --> 02:47:28,080 they've seen or detected the Department 3868 02:47:33,050 --> 02:47:30,180 of Defense is receiving many more 3869 02:47:35,330 --> 02:47:33,060 reports I think in the time that we've 3870 02:47:37,550 --> 02:47:35,340 been looking at this topic growing from 3871 02:47:39,410 --> 02:47:37,560 an ODI report that was something like 3872 02:47:41,210 --> 02:47:39,420 500 to I think this morning we heard 3873 02:47:42,770 --> 02:47:41,220 something like 800 now so that's 3874 02:47:46,010 --> 02:47:42,780 accelerating 3875 02:47:48,349 --> 02:47:46,020 and DOD will soon also mandate if not 3876 02:47:50,630 --> 02:47:48,359 already reporting by pilots which will 3877 02:47:53,809 --> 02:47:50,640 even grow that set 3878 02:47:56,210 --> 02:47:53,819 I would propose to this panel that NASA 3879 02:47:58,969 --> 02:47:56,220 can help make it safer for researchers 3880 02:48:01,969 --> 02:47:58,979 to explore data in the Civil airspace 3881 02:48:04,550 --> 02:48:01,979 domain simply by starting that work 3882 02:48:06,950 --> 02:48:04,560 internally 3883 02:48:08,809 --> 02:48:06,960 NASA could look at how civil anomaly 3884 02:48:11,990 --> 02:48:08,819 data is shared 3885 02:48:14,690 --> 02:48:12,000 study how to incentivize reporting 3886 02:48:16,309 --> 02:48:14,700 assess the possibility of crowdsourcing 3887 02:48:17,870 --> 02:48:16,319 data which I think we've heard a bit 3888 02:48:19,730 --> 02:48:17,880 about this afternoon 3889 02:48:23,690 --> 02:48:19,740 or sponsor and participate in 3890 02:48:26,990 --> 02:48:23,700 conferences on UAP detection 3891 02:48:30,170 --> 02:48:27,000 our team has really only seen I'd say a 3892 02:48:32,450 --> 02:48:30,180 few unclassified images of UAP 3893 02:48:35,750 --> 02:48:32,460 which lack the contextual data that's 3894 02:48:37,849 --> 02:48:35,760 needed to understand their true nature 3895 02:48:39,830 --> 02:48:37,859 and I believe we've heard a single 3896 02:48:42,410 --> 02:48:39,840 first-hand account from a former 3897 02:48:45,349 --> 02:48:42,420 military Aviator 3898 02:48:47,990 --> 02:48:45,359 so one of my colleagues Josh has an 3899 02:48:51,889 --> 02:48:48,000 example to show just why it would be 3900 02:48:56,690 --> 02:48:51,899 important for NASA to also help shape 3901 02:48:59,570 --> 02:48:56,700 how the data and information is reported 3902 02:49:01,250 --> 02:48:59,580 but before I turn the mic over to Josh I 3903 02:49:03,469 --> 02:49:01,260 want to make a recommendation to my 3904 02:49:07,010 --> 02:49:03,479 fellow panelists that we consider 3905 02:49:09,830 --> 02:49:07,020 advising NASA to more fully assess the 3906 02:49:12,950 --> 02:49:09,840 cultural and social barriers to studying 3907 02:49:15,410 --> 02:49:12,960 and Reporting uip and for NASA to 3908 02:49:20,750 --> 02:49:15,420 implement a plan to leverage its brand 3909 02:49:24,590 --> 02:49:22,910 that 3910 02:49:28,250 --> 02:49:24,600 you just want to go up and then we'll 3911 02:49:42,469 --> 02:49:30,170 so you can call on a slide deck if you 3912 02:49:48,050 --> 02:49:44,570 so it's not it's not the charge of our 3913 02:49:49,790 --> 02:49:48,060 panel to evaluate UAP evidence but part 3914 02:49:52,730 --> 02:49:49,800 of our statement of task is to assess 3915 02:49:54,290 --> 02:49:52,740 the scientific analysis techniques that 3916 02:49:58,010 --> 02:49:54,300 are available you don't have to start it 3917 02:49:59,570 --> 02:49:58,020 just yet and the um and how we might use 3918 02:50:01,790 --> 02:49:59,580 them to determine physical constraints 3919 02:50:04,370 --> 02:50:01,800 on UAP 3920 02:50:06,770 --> 02:50:04,380 uh you know the UAP reports with the 3921 02:50:09,110 --> 02:50:06,780 most detailed contextual information are 3922 02:50:12,170 --> 02:50:09,120 the ones from the Navy aviators uh and 3923 02:50:14,450 --> 02:50:12,180 they're using a combination of um of 3924 02:50:16,550 --> 02:50:14,460 ranging and uh infrared Imaging 3925 02:50:18,349 --> 02:50:16,560 information and for these cases we can 3926 02:50:21,530 --> 02:50:18,359 directly calculate critical parameters 3927 02:50:24,230 --> 02:50:21,540 of a UAP such as altitude and velocity 3928 02:50:25,849 --> 02:50:24,240 under certain assumptions uh and it's 3929 02:50:27,889 --> 02:50:25,859 you know the main point I want to make 3930 02:50:30,950 --> 02:50:27,899 here is that this multi-sensor approach 3931 02:50:33,590 --> 02:50:30,960 is absolutely critical to um charting a 3932 02:50:35,450 --> 02:50:33,600 path forward for UAP investigations and 3933 02:50:37,550 --> 02:50:35,460 that pertains to NASA as well 3934 02:50:39,830 --> 02:50:37,560 so I'm going to provide one example here 3935 02:50:42,490 --> 02:50:39,840 just to illustrate the crucial role of 3936 02:50:44,030 --> 02:50:42,500 Science and scientific analysis 3937 02:50:46,429 --> 02:50:44,040 and 3938 02:50:49,070 --> 02:50:46,439 the role of scientific analysis to avoid 3939 02:50:51,469 --> 02:50:49,080 misinterpretation in some sense next 3940 02:50:51,479 --> 02:50:56,870 hit space 3941 02:51:00,950 --> 02:50:59,389 yeah okay so this is um 3942 02:51:02,809 --> 02:51:00,960 this video was recorded by 3943 02:51:05,929 --> 02:51:02,819 um Pilots deployed from the aircraft 3944 02:51:08,090 --> 02:51:05,939 carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in 2015. 3945 02:51:10,550 --> 02:51:08,100 the example has been given the nickname 3946 02:51:12,349 --> 02:51:10,560 go fast because it gives an impression 3947 02:51:14,809 --> 02:51:12,359 of an object moving very rapidly against 3948 02:51:16,370 --> 02:51:14,819 the ocean surface and uh you know the 3949 02:51:18,349 --> 02:51:16,380 question is is this impression correct 3950 02:51:20,570 --> 02:51:18,359 and you know if not what can we say 3951 02:51:23,090 --> 02:51:20,580 quantitatively about what that object is 3952 02:51:26,090 --> 02:51:23,100 doing in uh kind of earth-centered 3953 02:51:27,710 --> 02:51:26,100 coordinate system 3954 02:51:29,630 --> 02:51:27,720 um fortunately the information needed to 3955 02:51:31,190 --> 02:51:29,640 determine the altitude and velocity of 3956 02:51:33,410 --> 02:51:31,200 this object is contained on the display 3957 02:51:35,150 --> 02:51:33,420 so go ahead and 3958 02:51:37,070 --> 02:51:35,160 next 3959 02:51:39,770 --> 02:51:37,080 and uh 3960 02:51:41,090 --> 02:51:39,780 this includes the elevation angle of the 3961 02:51:46,130 --> 02:51:41,100 camera 3962 02:51:48,349 --> 02:51:46,140 target range in nautical miles aircraft 3963 02:51:51,070 --> 02:51:48,359 altitude uh the time reference in 3964 02:51:53,389 --> 02:51:51,080 seconds indicated air speed and Knots 3965 02:51:55,070 --> 02:51:53,399 you know this information in this video 3966 02:51:57,290 --> 02:51:55,080 in particular has been discussed quite a 3967 02:51:58,190 --> 02:51:57,300 bit on the on the web 3968 02:52:01,790 --> 02:51:58,200 um 3969 02:52:05,630 --> 02:52:01,800 so let's begin with the object altitude 3970 02:52:10,070 --> 02:52:07,849 so knowing the Jet's altitude and the 3971 02:52:12,650 --> 02:52:10,080 bearing to the Target we can apply basic 3972 02:52:14,889 --> 02:52:12,660 trigonometry to figure out where that 3973 02:52:17,570 --> 02:52:14,899 object is in altitude space and it's 3974 02:52:20,929 --> 02:52:17,580 turns out to be you know provided the 3975 02:52:22,490 --> 02:52:20,939 range information is accurate which can 3976 02:52:24,889 --> 02:52:22,500 have some uncertainties associated with 3977 02:52:28,969 --> 02:52:24,899 it but the object appears to be at about 3978 02:52:30,650 --> 02:52:28,979 13 000 feet an important aspect of this 3979 02:52:34,250 --> 02:52:30,660 here is that it's sort of midway between 3980 02:52:35,990 --> 02:52:34,260 the uh the jet and the ocean so it's the 3981 02:52:39,830 --> 02:52:36,000 ocean that looks like it's right behind 3982 02:52:42,590 --> 02:52:39,840 it is actually 4.2 miles away and this 3983 02:52:44,450 --> 02:52:42,600 is our first indication that some or 3984 02:52:46,450 --> 02:52:44,460 most of the motion that we observe the 3985 02:52:49,429 --> 02:52:46,460 apparent motion of the object 3986 02:52:51,950 --> 02:52:49,439 is in fact due to the rapid motion of 3987 02:52:54,769 --> 02:52:51,960 the sensing platform which is about 430 3988 02:52:58,370 --> 02:52:54,779 miles per hour in this case 3989 02:53:00,110 --> 02:52:58,380 uh but we don't have to guess about this 3990 02:53:03,050 --> 02:53:00,120 so we have enough information on this 3991 02:53:06,889 --> 02:53:03,060 display to actually reconstruct 3992 02:53:10,130 --> 02:53:06,899 um the encounter go to the next slide 3993 02:53:12,050 --> 02:53:10,140 please and uh so this is what this is 3994 02:53:15,590 --> 02:53:12,060 this is using additional information on 3995 02:53:18,050 --> 02:53:15,600 the screen including the time axis and 3996 02:53:20,030 --> 02:53:18,060 um so we know that this aircraft is 3997 02:53:22,250 --> 02:53:20,040 banking about 15 degrees left and you 3998 02:53:24,469 --> 02:53:22,260 can compute through a simple calculator 3999 02:53:27,349 --> 02:53:24,479 the radius approximate radius of 4000 02:53:28,790 --> 02:53:27,359 curvature of the flight and you the 4001 02:53:30,710 --> 02:53:28,800 bottom line is I won't go into detail 4002 02:53:32,570 --> 02:53:30,720 here but if you can get the bearing and 4003 02:53:34,610 --> 02:53:32,580 range to the Target at two locations 4004 02:53:36,469 --> 02:53:34,620 with known separation in time you can 4005 02:53:40,190 --> 02:53:36,479 figure out how far it moved and in this 4006 02:53:43,190 --> 02:53:40,200 case this object moved about 390 meters 4007 02:53:46,490 --> 02:53:43,200 um in 22 seconds and that corresponds to 4008 02:53:48,290 --> 02:53:46,500 a velocity of just 40 miles per hour 4009 02:53:51,050 --> 02:53:48,300 and so that's a velocity is consistent 4010 02:53:53,090 --> 02:53:51,060 with wind speeds at 13 000 feet 4011 02:53:54,590 --> 02:53:53,100 so it's not our task to conjecture what 4012 02:53:55,969 --> 02:53:54,600 this object is 4013 02:53:58,070 --> 02:53:55,979 um but it's an example that illustrates 4014 02:53:59,570 --> 02:53:58,080 the type of data needed to determine 4015 02:54:02,950 --> 02:53:59,580 critical parameters that will help us 4016 02:54:04,910 --> 02:54:02,960 identify sub-job objects going forward 4017 02:54:06,710 --> 02:54:04,920 in addition to the importance of 4018 02:54:08,330 --> 02:54:06,720 quantitative analysis this example also 4019 02:54:10,190 --> 02:54:08,340 serves to illustrate the kind of 4020 02:54:13,550 --> 02:54:10,200 cognitive bias we have to contend with 4021 02:54:16,969 --> 02:54:13,560 for uaps recorded from unfamiliar 4022 02:54:18,830 --> 02:54:16,979 perspectives and uh Sean Kirkpatrick 4023 02:54:22,670 --> 02:54:18,840 showed another example of that this is 4024 02:54:24,410 --> 02:54:22,680 um this is a parallax effect case 4025 02:54:26,750 --> 02:54:24,420 foreign 4026 02:54:29,330 --> 02:54:26,760 thank you 4027 02:54:31,370 --> 02:54:29,340 any questions thanks um actually before 4028 02:54:34,610 --> 02:54:31,380 we have questions actually a good moment 4029 02:54:37,190 --> 02:54:34,620 uh Sean I don't want to comment on his 4030 02:54:38,950 --> 02:54:37,200 one of the questions if we bring Sean up 4031 02:54:46,870 --> 02:54:38,960 and then take questions for everybody 4032 02:54:51,110 --> 02:54:49,010 thanks that was that was actually very 4033 02:54:53,330 --> 02:54:51,120 helpful for everyone I'm sure 4034 02:54:55,010 --> 02:54:53,340 um just one piece of clarification on 4035 02:54:56,570 --> 02:54:55,020 the video that we showed the second one 4036 02:54:59,030 --> 02:54:56,580 that was the new 4037 02:55:01,550 --> 02:54:59,040 newly released one had the three uh 4038 02:55:03,290 --> 02:55:01,560 aircraft in it the question was asked 4039 02:55:06,230 --> 02:55:03,300 about if it was a stabilized background 4040 02:55:08,929 --> 02:55:06,240 against which the Jitter was showing I I 4041 02:55:10,790 --> 02:55:08,939 am not 100 certain of that answer it 4042 02:55:13,250 --> 02:55:10,800 might just be a bunch of dust on that 4043 02:55:15,590 --> 02:55:13,260 sensor but let me go back and get you a 4044 02:55:17,330 --> 02:55:15,600 more Folsom answer it is either 4045 02:55:19,610 --> 02:55:17,340 stabilized background 4046 02:55:22,610 --> 02:55:19,620 or it's just garbage but in either event 4047 02:55:25,190 --> 02:55:22,620 the three aircraft are 4048 02:55:27,050 --> 02:55:25,200 um shittering because of the platform 4049 02:55:28,429 --> 02:55:27,060 but that's another example of exactly 4050 02:55:31,010 --> 02:55:28,439 what you're saying right it's the 4051 02:55:32,750 --> 02:55:31,020 perception of the of the operator who 4052 02:55:35,870 --> 02:55:32,760 thinks it's doing something else when 4053 02:55:38,750 --> 02:55:35,880 it's actually just your own camera 4054 02:55:40,849 --> 02:55:38,760 right yes I could just Sean in your 4055 02:55:42,769 --> 02:55:40,859 event it seemed to me that what you mean 4056 02:55:44,389 --> 02:55:42,779 by Jitter in this case is the the plane 4057 02:55:47,210 --> 02:55:44,399 is actually making motions that are 4058 02:55:50,330 --> 02:55:47,220 causing a parallax so it's actually more 4059 02:55:51,950 --> 02:55:50,340 than that uh so the plane will move and 4060 02:55:52,910 --> 02:55:51,960 that'll cause The Parallax that you just 4061 02:55:56,510 --> 02:55:52,920 showed 4062 02:55:58,490 --> 02:55:56,520 but the sensor itself the a lot of these 4063 02:56:00,170 --> 02:55:58,500 cameras are in gimbals 4064 02:56:02,030 --> 02:56:00,180 for those of you not certain what a 4065 02:56:04,130 --> 02:56:02,040 gimbal is it's the thing that your your 4066 02:56:05,450 --> 02:56:04,140 cameras sit on your telescopes sit on it 4067 02:56:06,650 --> 02:56:05,460 moves it around and in different 4068 02:56:10,969 --> 02:56:06,660 directions 4069 02:56:12,530 --> 02:56:10,979 uh those can sometimes be stabilized in 4070 02:56:15,710 --> 02:56:12,540 which case they 4071 02:56:16,790 --> 02:56:15,720 they uh damp out the motion of the 4072 02:56:19,130 --> 02:56:16,800 platform 4073 02:56:20,690 --> 02:56:19,140 and in other cases they're not and they 4074 02:56:23,030 --> 02:56:20,700 they jump around and so what you're 4075 02:56:26,030 --> 02:56:23,040 actually seeing in that video is what we 4076 02:56:28,490 --> 02:56:26,040 call Jitter of the sensor against the 4077 02:56:30,170 --> 02:56:28,500 platform so the platform's moving and 4078 02:56:33,590 --> 02:56:30,180 the sensor is moving it's not as 4079 02:56:35,929 --> 02:56:33,600 stabilized against the target but the 4080 02:56:38,269 --> 02:56:35,939 once it's collected sometimes in 4081 02:56:40,070 --> 02:56:38,279 processing the background is stabilized 4082 02:56:44,389 --> 02:56:40,080 frame to frame just like some of those 4083 02:56:46,790 --> 02:56:44,399 Tick Tock videos you see right same idea 4084 02:56:48,769 --> 02:56:46,800 yeah I just wanted to jump in here I 4085 02:56:51,769 --> 02:56:48,779 think uh make a couple of comments so 4086 02:56:56,570 --> 02:56:51,779 just follow up on what uh Josh said in 4087 02:56:59,570 --> 02:56:56,580 my experience of flying you know over 15 4088 02:57:02,030 --> 02:56:59,580 000 hours 30 something years uh in 4089 02:57:05,330 --> 02:57:02,040 airplanes and and both in space 4090 02:57:08,090 --> 02:57:05,340 and the environment that we fly in space 4091 02:57:11,510 --> 02:57:08,100 or you know an atmospheric flight very 4092 02:57:14,330 --> 02:57:11,520 very conducive to optical illusions so I 4093 02:57:16,309 --> 02:57:14,340 get it why these Pilots would look at 4094 02:57:18,889 --> 02:57:16,319 that go fast video and think it was 4095 02:57:20,690 --> 02:57:18,899 going really really fast 4096 02:57:22,730 --> 02:57:20,700 um I remember one time I was flying in 4097 02:57:25,550 --> 02:57:22,740 the warning areas off of Virginia Beach 4098 02:57:27,230 --> 02:57:25,560 Military operating area there and my Rio 4099 02:57:30,469 --> 02:57:27,240 thought the guy that sits in the back of 4100 02:57:31,790 --> 02:57:30,479 the Tomcat was convinced we flew by a 4101 02:57:34,490 --> 02:57:31,800 UFO 4102 02:57:37,429 --> 02:57:34,500 so I didn't see it we turned around we 4103 02:57:40,290 --> 02:57:37,439 went to go look at it it turns out it 4104 02:57:42,050 --> 02:57:40,300 was Bart Simpson a balloon 4105 02:57:44,690 --> 02:57:42,060 [Laughter] 4106 02:57:46,490 --> 02:57:44,700 you know oftentimes in space I would see 4107 02:57:49,550 --> 02:57:46,500 things and I was like oh that's really 4108 02:57:52,130 --> 02:57:49,560 not behaving like it should it's not it 4109 02:57:53,929 --> 02:57:52,140 doesn't have a trajectory of a satellite 4110 02:57:57,170 --> 02:57:53,939 or a planet on the back of the star 4111 02:57:59,450 --> 02:57:57,180 field and every single time when I would 4112 02:58:02,870 --> 02:57:59,460 look at it long enough I would realize 4113 02:58:04,849 --> 02:58:02,880 that it was atmospheric lensing it was 4114 02:58:06,650 --> 02:58:04,859 the fact that what what I was looking at 4115 02:58:08,690 --> 02:58:06,660 was actually flying behind the 4116 02:58:10,730 --> 02:58:08,700 atmosphere and because of variations in 4117 02:58:12,110 --> 02:58:10,740 the atmosphere it made the trajectory 4118 02:58:13,969 --> 02:58:12,120 look like it wasn't going in a straight 4119 02:58:15,590 --> 02:58:13,979 line it was going like this and then go 4120 02:58:19,070 --> 02:58:15,600 like that and it would turn in the other 4121 02:58:23,030 --> 02:58:19,080 direction always was always the case 4122 02:58:26,809 --> 02:58:23,040 my brother uh Mark Kelly a uh former 4123 02:58:29,750 --> 02:58:26,819 NASA astronaut and uh also now a U.S 4124 02:58:31,670 --> 02:58:29,760 senator I was with him for dinner last 4125 02:58:33,950 --> 02:58:31,680 night and he shared a story 4126 02:58:35,870 --> 02:58:33,960 with me again that he had shared years 4127 02:58:38,210 --> 02:58:35,880 ago but I had kind of forgotten about it 4128 02:58:41,170 --> 02:58:38,220 and I think it's worth sharing and that 4129 02:58:44,690 --> 02:58:41,180 that is when he was the commander of SDS 4130 02:58:46,190 --> 02:58:44,700 124 I think it was in 2008. they were 4131 02:58:48,349 --> 02:58:46,200 getting ready to close the payload bay 4132 02:58:51,110 --> 02:58:48,359 doors of the Space Shuttle 4133 02:58:53,210 --> 02:58:51,120 and before they do that you got to make 4134 02:58:54,530 --> 02:58:53,220 sure nothing interferes with the doors 4135 02:58:56,450 --> 02:58:54,540 because if the doors don't close 4136 02:58:58,070 --> 02:58:56,460 properly the space shuttle can't 4137 02:58:59,690 --> 02:58:58,080 re-enter the atmosphere it would come 4138 02:59:02,450 --> 02:58:59,700 apart it's part of the structural 4139 02:59:04,730 --> 02:59:02,460 Integrity of the vehicle so they see 4140 02:59:07,670 --> 02:59:04,740 something in the payload Bay and they 4141 02:59:09,830 --> 02:59:07,680 thought it was a tool maybe a bolt they 4142 02:59:11,630 --> 02:59:09,840 couldn't quite figure it out they were 4143 02:59:14,510 --> 02:59:11,640 potentially going to have to go and do a 4144 02:59:16,309 --> 02:59:14,520 spacewalk to retrieve it 4145 02:59:18,050 --> 02:59:16,319 but before they did that my brother 4146 02:59:20,210 --> 02:59:18,060 grabbed the camera they took a picture 4147 02:59:24,710 --> 02:59:20,220 of it and when they blew up the picture 4148 02:59:27,110 --> 02:59:24,720 they realized that this is not a bolt or 4149 02:59:28,849 --> 02:59:27,120 a tool in the payload Bay it was 4150 02:59:31,250 --> 02:59:28,859 actually the International Space Station 4151 02:59:34,010 --> 02:59:31,260 that was 80 miles away 4152 02:59:37,429 --> 02:59:34,020 I mean that's just a really good example 4153 02:59:39,590 --> 02:59:37,439 of how this environment we operate in is 4154 02:59:41,870 --> 02:59:39,600 so so conducive optical illusions 4155 02:59:43,790 --> 02:59:41,880 oftentimes guys fly into the water and 4156 02:59:46,070 --> 02:59:43,800 there are cases where you know Pilots 4157 02:59:48,290 --> 02:59:46,080 have rendezvoused on a buoy because they 4158 02:59:50,269 --> 02:59:48,300 thought that was their wingman it's just 4159 02:59:51,830 --> 02:59:50,279 very very 4160 02:59:54,170 --> 02:59:51,840 um challenging environment to work and 4161 02:59:56,630 --> 02:59:54,180 especially at night and 4162 02:59:59,269 --> 02:59:56,640 in my experience the sensors kind of 4163 03:00:04,190 --> 02:59:59,279 have the same issues as the you know the 4164 03:00:07,910 --> 03:00:05,570 okay 4165 03:00:09,230 --> 03:00:07,920 so per what Scott just said I think we 4166 03:00:11,570 --> 03:00:09,240 need to take it as an action to 4167 03:00:14,389 --> 03:00:11,580 investigate unidentified animated 4168 03:00:17,450 --> 03:00:14,399 phenomena to go after all right Simpson 4169 03:00:21,050 --> 03:00:17,460 I I think what Josh and Scott said is 4170 03:00:23,450 --> 03:00:21,060 very very helpful and shows why we need 4171 03:00:25,550 --> 03:00:23,460 multiple sources of data 4172 03:00:28,070 --> 03:00:25,560 where their radar hits were there other 4173 03:00:30,349 --> 03:00:28,080 sightings unless we can look at this 4174 03:00:33,889 --> 03:00:30,359 from a holistic perspective it's very 4175 03:00:35,690 --> 03:00:33,899 difficult to draw conclusions and 4176 03:00:38,150 --> 03:00:35,700 relative to stigma and I appreciate the 4177 03:00:39,530 --> 03:00:38,160 reports that our colleagues gave I think 4178 03:00:41,090 --> 03:00:39,540 there's plenty of stigma right here in 4179 03:00:43,610 --> 03:00:41,100 this building and I'm sure Dan you 4180 03:00:46,130 --> 03:00:43,620 suffered from it at times 4181 03:00:48,170 --> 03:00:46,140 and I just want to commend administrator 4182 03:00:50,269 --> 03:00:48,180 though who's always be Senator Nelson to 4183 03:00:52,309 --> 03:00:50,279 me for his leadership and candidly 4184 03:00:54,050 --> 03:00:52,319 courage and getting the asset to tackle 4185 03:00:56,929 --> 03:00:54,060 this issue 4186 03:00:58,790 --> 03:00:56,939 and as we look at what Sean had 4187 03:01:01,730 --> 03:00:58,800 articulated that what he wants NASA to 4188 03:01:03,650 --> 03:01:01,740 do as we look at the recommendations for 4189 03:01:06,530 --> 03:01:03,660 reporting and how we need to collate 4190 03:01:08,510 --> 03:01:06,540 that reporting I'm very concerned that 4191 03:01:12,349 --> 03:01:08,520 this could be effectively done on an ad 4192 03:01:16,490 --> 03:01:12,359 hoc basis and I've been a part of far 4193 03:01:19,250 --> 03:01:16,500 too many panels and studies that end up 4194 03:01:21,889 --> 03:01:19,260 sitting on the shelf I don't want this 4195 03:01:23,870 --> 03:01:21,899 to be one of those exercises and we can 4196 03:01:26,809 --> 03:01:23,880 discuss this further but I would call 4197 03:01:29,750 --> 03:01:26,819 for and recommend a permanent office 4198 03:01:32,389 --> 03:01:29,760 within NASA to support this activity 4199 03:01:34,010 --> 03:01:32,399 albeit likely a modest one but to 4200 03:01:37,130 --> 03:01:34,020 collate this information collate that 4201 03:01:40,250 --> 03:01:37,140 data to Archive the information and act 4202 03:01:43,730 --> 03:01:40,260 as the open forward-facing counterpart 4203 03:01:45,410 --> 03:01:43,740 to Sean and aaro I think then we could 4204 03:01:47,929 --> 03:01:45,420 continue and actually accomplish the 4205 03:01:49,969 --> 03:01:47,939 reporting the stigma issues that have 4206 03:01:53,690 --> 03:01:49,979 been raised and we could do so in a 4207 03:01:55,610 --> 03:01:53,700 relatively affordable fashion because 4208 03:02:00,170 --> 03:01:55,620 again I don't want all of our work to 4209 03:02:06,230 --> 03:02:04,250 so now Jen's going to turn to our charge 4210 03:02:12,769 --> 03:02:06,240 and 4211 03:02:15,290 --> 03:02:12,779 convened with a set of questions that we 4212 03:02:17,690 --> 03:02:15,300 were charged to address we've been 4213 03:02:19,670 --> 03:02:17,700 addressing them through the topics we've 4214 03:02:21,710 --> 03:02:19,680 talked about and through things as we've 4215 03:02:23,750 --> 03:02:21,720 been thinking this through but we're 4216 03:02:26,030 --> 03:02:23,760 going to organize the next part of the 4217 03:02:28,429 --> 03:02:26,040 discussion with Jen presenting these 4218 03:02:30,469 --> 03:02:28,439 things and this is also a chance to get 4219 03:02:33,349 --> 03:02:30,479 into some of the discussion phase 4220 03:02:36,590 --> 03:02:33,359 because we can look at each of these 4221 03:02:38,870 --> 03:02:36,600 questions as the topics that we make we 4222 03:02:41,030 --> 03:02:38,880 want to make sure we address as part of 4223 03:02:43,790 --> 03:02:41,040 the report Jen 4224 03:02:46,969 --> 03:02:43,800 uh thanks David and I want to thank the 4225 03:02:48,469 --> 03:02:46,979 panelists all for all of your work all 4226 03:02:51,469 --> 03:02:48,479 of the knowledge that I've gained from 4227 03:02:54,650 --> 03:02:51,479 from each of you through this time I 4228 03:02:57,230 --> 03:02:54,660 took it upon myself in preparing for 4229 03:03:00,290 --> 03:02:57,240 today's meeting to draft a statement 4230 03:03:04,730 --> 03:03:00,300 that answers the eight questions that we 4231 03:03:07,790 --> 03:03:04,740 were provided at the beginning of the 4232 03:03:08,990 --> 03:03:07,800 uh last summer when the the panel was 4233 03:03:10,070 --> 03:03:09,000 was created 4234 03:03:13,010 --> 03:03:10,080 um so I'm going to read the question out 4235 03:03:15,469 --> 03:03:13,020 loud I'm going to read my statement and 4236 03:03:17,389 --> 03:03:15,479 I'm going to pause and let you think and 4237 03:03:19,190 --> 03:03:17,399 reflect and if there's remember this 4238 03:03:20,929 --> 03:03:19,200 isn't all of the details associated with 4239 03:03:23,030 --> 03:03:20,939 each of these answers right this is to 4240 03:03:25,250 --> 03:03:23,040 be a kind of high level make sure we've 4241 03:03:26,870 --> 03:03:25,260 got the major points there to let you 4242 03:03:28,910 --> 03:03:26,880 think and reflect and if there's 4243 03:03:30,410 --> 03:03:28,920 remember this isn't all of the details 4244 03:03:32,630 --> 03:03:30,420 associated with each of these answers 4245 03:03:35,630 --> 03:03:32,640 right this is to be a kind of high level 4246 03:03:38,990 --> 03:03:35,640 mixture we've got the major points there 4247 03:03:40,910 --> 03:03:39,000 um and and this is an initial take for 4248 03:03:44,090 --> 03:03:40,920 for these answers 4249 03:03:46,790 --> 03:03:44,100 so the first question goes what types of 4250 03:03:49,969 --> 03:03:46,800 scientific data currently collected and 4251 03:03:52,190 --> 03:03:49,979 archived by NASA or other civilian 4252 03:03:56,150 --> 03:03:52,200 government entities should be 4253 03:03:58,670 --> 03:03:56,160 synthesized and analyzed prior to 4254 03:04:00,650 --> 03:03:58,680 potentially shed light on the nature and 4255 03:04:03,889 --> 03:04:00,660 origins of UAP 4256 03:04:07,550 --> 03:04:03,899 so the panel reviewed data sources 4257 03:04:12,110 --> 03:04:07,560 analytic tools data architectures from 4258 03:04:16,309 --> 03:04:12,120 NASA NOAA FAA Commerce and others 4259 03:04:18,710 --> 03:04:16,319 the data that we recognize were not 4260 03:04:19,730 --> 03:04:18,720 collected for the purpose of identifying 4261 03:04:22,010 --> 03:04:19,740 UAP 4262 03:04:24,769 --> 03:04:22,020 which leaves bias in the data that was 4263 03:04:26,929 --> 03:04:24,779 collected even though there is an 4264 03:04:29,750 --> 03:04:26,939 immense amount of data available it is 4265 03:04:32,410 --> 03:04:29,760 hard to access and the sensors that were 4266 03:04:38,990 --> 03:04:32,420 used were not well calibrated for 4267 03:04:43,809 --> 03:04:41,570 no questions moving forward question 4268 03:04:47,269 --> 03:04:43,819 number two I kind of feel like Jeopardy 4269 03:04:49,370 --> 03:04:47,279 what what types of scientific data 4270 03:04:52,490 --> 03:04:49,380 currently collected and held by 4271 03:04:54,530 --> 03:04:52,500 non-profits and companies should be 4272 03:04:56,630 --> 03:04:54,540 synthesized and analyzed to potentially 4273 03:04:58,630 --> 03:04:56,640 shed light on the nature and origins of 4274 03:05:01,730 --> 03:04:58,640 UAP 4275 03:05:04,250 --> 03:05:01,740 many organizations exist to track 4276 03:05:06,170 --> 03:05:04,260 sightings of anomalous phenomena in the 4277 03:05:09,830 --> 03:05:06,180 Earth's atmosphere 4278 03:05:11,809 --> 03:05:09,840 both non-profit for-profit and otherwise 4279 03:05:13,309 --> 03:05:11,819 the study panel concluded that much of 4280 03:05:14,990 --> 03:05:13,319 the inputs collected by these 4281 03:05:18,469 --> 03:05:15,000 organizations are not considered 4282 03:05:20,809 --> 03:05:18,479 scientific data in nature and that they 4283 03:05:23,750 --> 03:05:20,819 do not contain unbiased information 4284 03:05:26,929 --> 03:05:23,760 they're not repeatable and they 4285 03:05:29,510 --> 03:05:26,939 typically come with eyewitness accounts 4286 03:05:31,250 --> 03:05:29,520 which we've heard even today that 4287 03:05:33,710 --> 03:05:31,260 there's a 4288 03:05:38,990 --> 03:05:33,720 hesitations with using only eyewitness 4289 03:05:43,790 --> 03:05:41,990 um to the point about commercial or 4290 03:05:47,150 --> 03:05:43,800 companies there are a lot of space 4291 03:05:50,389 --> 03:05:47,160 companies that some lobbied hard to get 4292 03:05:52,250 --> 03:05:50,399 in to present to us they have trolls of 4293 03:05:54,050 --> 03:05:52,260 data but they're collected for a variety 4294 03:05:56,630 --> 03:05:54,060 of different purposes than the purpose 4295 03:05:58,910 --> 03:05:56,640 of UAP and those systems while they are 4296 03:06:02,210 --> 03:05:58,920 well calibrated are only one source of 4297 03:06:08,570 --> 03:06:06,349 um questions comments concerns yes Carla 4298 03:06:09,410 --> 03:06:08,580 I'll bite on that one Jen 4299 03:06:13,010 --> 03:06:09,420 um 4300 03:06:15,769 --> 03:06:13,020 you know I I think your answer is 4301 03:06:18,170 --> 03:06:15,779 correct as to what we've seen but where 4302 03:06:20,269 --> 03:06:18,180 I would go is if we made a 4303 03:06:22,370 --> 03:06:20,279 recommendation to NASA that you know 4304 03:06:26,030 --> 03:06:22,380 we're really asking them to build a 4305 03:06:28,670 --> 03:06:26,040 roadmap and we haven't done a robust 4306 03:06:30,710 --> 03:06:28,680 catalog and we've looked at sources 4307 03:06:33,530 --> 03:06:30,720 mentioned sources that we think might be 4308 03:06:35,690 --> 03:06:33,540 relevant but perhaps a more robust 4309 03:06:37,370 --> 03:06:35,700 effort cataloging would be a good modest 4310 03:06:41,090 --> 03:06:37,380 start yeah 4311 03:06:42,590 --> 03:06:41,100 that's good I I will only in slight 4312 03:06:44,630 --> 03:06:42,600 defense of trying to answer the exact 4313 03:06:46,429 --> 03:06:44,640 question as opposed to the panel rather 4314 03:06:48,650 --> 03:06:46,439 than trying to add recommendations at 4315 03:06:51,170 --> 03:06:48,660 this point but yes Point well taken 4316 03:06:53,150 --> 03:06:51,180 thank you yeah I mean I think one of the 4317 03:06:55,370 --> 03:06:53,160 data sets so we just learned about you 4318 03:06:57,469 --> 03:06:55,380 know heard more about today and thinking 4319 03:07:00,650 --> 03:06:57,479 about so calibrating things is the FAA 4320 03:07:02,510 --> 03:07:00,660 data on a normal you know tracking 4321 03:07:05,929 --> 03:07:02,520 events right and I think this is 4322 03:07:08,690 --> 03:07:05,939 something where if we had you know 4323 03:07:11,030 --> 03:07:08,700 some imaging software people you know 4324 03:07:14,269 --> 03:07:11,040 sell citizen scientists with cell phone 4325 03:07:17,030 --> 03:07:14,279 cameras Identify some event that looks 4326 03:07:20,450 --> 03:07:17,040 interesting one of the places you'd like 4327 03:07:22,370 --> 03:07:20,460 to be able to turn is the FAA data and 4328 03:07:24,410 --> 03:07:22,380 having 4329 03:07:26,830 --> 03:07:24,420 um you know if there is to go back to 4330 03:07:29,929 --> 03:07:26,840 you know having a NASA 4331 03:07:31,070 --> 03:07:29,939 responsibility for data NASA might you 4332 03:07:33,769 --> 03:07:31,080 know 4333 03:07:37,309 --> 03:07:33,779 has a lot of experience in serving as a 4334 03:07:39,349 --> 03:07:37,319 clearing house for data from across the 4335 03:07:40,730 --> 03:07:39,359 government for civilian data right this 4336 03:07:43,070 --> 03:07:40,740 is something we do in lots of different 4337 03:07:45,530 --> 03:07:43,080 areas and I I think there are some 4338 03:07:47,389 --> 03:07:45,540 opportunities with data sets there and I 4339 03:07:49,010 --> 03:07:47,399 think the the radar data is one that 4340 03:07:51,230 --> 03:07:49,020 comes to mind is one we don't want to 4341 03:07:53,570 --> 03:07:51,240 forget about as an available data center 4342 03:07:55,910 --> 03:07:53,580 yeah absolutely 4343 03:07:58,490 --> 03:07:55,920 um question three I think goes more 4344 03:08:00,590 --> 03:07:58,500 towards the recommendations of what 4345 03:08:04,190 --> 03:08:00,600 other types of scientific data should be 4346 03:08:05,630 --> 03:08:04,200 collected by NASA to enhance the 4347 03:08:07,610 --> 03:08:05,640 potential for developing an 4348 03:08:10,130 --> 03:08:07,620 understanding of the nature and origins 4349 03:08:11,269 --> 03:08:10,140 of UAP so we've heard now from two of 4350 03:08:14,570 --> 03:08:11,279 the panelists on some of the information 4351 03:08:16,250 --> 03:08:14,580 that should be collected or the way that 4352 03:08:18,050 --> 03:08:16,260 some of that data should be organized in 4353 03:08:21,530 --> 03:08:18,060 a manner to make it available for people 4354 03:08:24,410 --> 03:08:21,540 to analyze that information 4355 03:08:25,269 --> 03:08:24,420 um and the only other thoughts that I 4356 03:08:29,510 --> 03:08:25,279 had 4357 03:08:31,670 --> 03:08:29,520 here was was really recognizing the 4358 03:08:34,969 --> 03:08:31,680 difference in 4359 03:08:37,670 --> 03:08:34,979 um the sensor thresholds right so we 4360 03:08:39,769 --> 03:08:37,680 can't always tune a sensor all the way 4361 03:08:41,330 --> 03:08:39,779 to the resolution that we might need or 4362 03:08:43,730 --> 03:08:41,340 we might want 4363 03:08:45,469 --> 03:08:43,740 um and and as we collect that data to 4364 03:08:48,889 --> 03:08:45,479 recognize for the scientists that are 4365 03:08:50,750 --> 03:08:48,899 doing those analyzes the bounds of each 4366 03:08:53,510 --> 03:08:50,760 of the systems that they're that they're 4367 03:08:57,710 --> 03:08:55,429 yeah 4368 03:09:00,950 --> 03:08:57,720 you know what strikes me on that one 4369 03:09:03,110 --> 03:09:00,960 when you were reading the the answer the 4370 03:09:03,769 --> 03:09:03,120 proposed answer was 4371 03:09:07,849 --> 03:09:03,779 um 4372 03:09:11,210 --> 03:09:07,859 what may be new maybe something that's 4373 03:09:14,210 --> 03:09:11,220 new to NASA in the sense of like a Time 4374 03:09:16,730 --> 03:09:14,220 series so we can know what's normal so 4375 03:09:19,130 --> 03:09:16,740 we can perhaps identify what's not 4376 03:09:22,010 --> 03:09:19,140 normal or anomalous right 4377 03:09:24,710 --> 03:09:22,020 so I'm not sure to what extent 4378 03:09:26,269 --> 03:09:24,720 um it's like the most unsexy thing to 4379 03:09:28,250 --> 03:09:26,279 sell on the face of the planet right is 4380 03:09:30,650 --> 03:09:28,260 making consistent long-term observations 4381 03:09:32,929 --> 03:09:30,660 but I think that the agency may be set 4382 03:09:35,630 --> 03:09:32,939 up to do just that for multiple reasons 4383 03:09:37,969 --> 03:09:35,640 right yeah persistent yeah data 4384 03:09:38,990 --> 03:09:37,979 collection the agency does that in a lot 4385 03:09:41,389 --> 03:09:39,000 of cases for us through physical 4386 03:09:43,309 --> 03:09:41,399 purposes so the infrastructure of course 4387 03:09:44,150 --> 03:09:43,319 you know pointing up and pointing at a 4388 03:09:46,550 --> 03:09:44,160 different distance but the 4389 03:09:48,769 --> 03:09:46,560 infrastructure for collecting this kind 4390 03:09:52,670 --> 03:09:48,779 of data organizing and keeping it and 4391 03:09:53,750 --> 03:09:52,680 that does exist yeah and there are in 4392 03:09:55,910 --> 03:09:53,760 their defense a lot of satellite 4393 03:09:59,929 --> 03:09:55,920 companies that are doing that persistent 4394 03:10:05,870 --> 03:10:03,469 okay uh question for which scientific 4395 03:10:08,510 --> 03:10:05,880 analysis techniques currently in 4396 03:10:11,389 --> 03:10:08,520 production could be employed to assess 4397 03:10:13,490 --> 03:10:11,399 the nature and origins of UAP which 4398 03:10:16,010 --> 03:10:13,500 types of analysis techniques should be 4399 03:10:20,330 --> 03:10:16,020 developed so this is a two-part with 4400 03:10:22,570 --> 03:10:20,340 what exists today and what should be so 4401 03:10:25,429 --> 03:10:22,580 we're looking also at recommendations 4402 03:10:27,889 --> 03:10:25,439 based on the information provided by the 4403 03:10:30,230 --> 03:10:27,899 presenters to the panel there are very 4404 03:10:31,630 --> 03:10:30,240 few credible analysis text techniques 4405 03:10:33,969 --> 03:10:31,640 available 4406 03:10:37,610 --> 03:10:33,979 that currently exist 4407 03:10:39,950 --> 03:10:37,620 to assess the nature and origins of UAP 4408 03:10:41,750 --> 03:10:39,960 the onset of artificial intelligence and 4409 03:10:44,870 --> 03:10:41,760 automated analysis techniques give 4410 03:10:46,730 --> 03:10:44,880 promise to being able to do that in the 4411 03:10:48,769 --> 03:10:46,740 future 4412 03:10:50,710 --> 03:10:48,779 um I wanted to add something to that 4413 03:10:53,269 --> 03:10:50,720 perhaps which is that really to design 4414 03:10:55,550 --> 03:10:53,279 the analysis you need to know what the 4415 03:10:57,349 --> 03:10:55,560 data looks like right so 4416 03:11:00,230 --> 03:10:57,359 um you know we can't really say what 4417 03:11:01,490 --> 03:11:00,240 kind of analysis should be created on 4418 03:11:03,590 --> 03:11:01,500 the hypothetical data that we're 4419 03:11:06,170 --> 03:11:03,600 recommending should be collected in a in 4420 03:11:08,450 --> 03:11:06,180 a in some you know somewhat specified 4421 03:11:10,849 --> 03:11:08,460 fashion if it's all hypothetical and we 4422 03:11:12,830 --> 03:11:10,859 want to collect all of this data and we 4423 03:11:14,510 --> 03:11:12,840 know what format it's going to be in we 4424 03:11:16,550 --> 03:11:14,520 can design analysis techniques around it 4425 03:11:18,530 --> 03:11:16,560 and at that point it's likely that there 4426 03:11:20,690 --> 03:11:18,540 are analysis techniques that are that 4427 03:11:23,389 --> 03:11:20,700 already exist absolutely lots of anomaly 4428 03:11:25,370 --> 03:11:23,399 detection work we just don't know which 4429 03:11:27,530 --> 03:11:25,380 one will be more suitable because the 4430 03:11:28,550 --> 03:11:27,540 data as it should be doesn't exist yet 4431 03:11:30,050 --> 03:11:28,560 correct 4432 03:11:31,610 --> 03:11:30,060 you said exactly what I was going to say 4433 03:11:33,590 --> 03:11:31,620 yeah and that that's what I was getting 4434 03:11:35,030 --> 03:11:33,600 at with my point not that it was an 4435 03:11:36,769 --> 03:11:35,040 it doesn't exist in in the scientific 4436 03:11:38,269 --> 03:11:36,779 Community just that they're not being 4437 03:11:40,490 --> 03:11:38,279 applied to this problem set right now 4438 03:11:44,030 --> 03:11:40,500 and it's hard to apply them when we 4439 03:11:46,849 --> 03:11:44,040 don't have the the known data of what 4440 03:11:48,469 --> 03:11:46,859 would go into those David yeah I I think 4441 03:11:50,990 --> 03:11:48,479 something we want to stress here is the 4442 03:11:53,030 --> 03:11:51,000 importance of uniform data yes in the 4443 03:11:55,550 --> 03:11:53,040 way it's collected because particularly 4444 03:11:57,830 --> 03:11:55,560 when you're looking for outliers if you 4445 03:12:00,230 --> 03:11:57,840 have data coming from many different 4446 03:12:02,870 --> 03:12:00,240 observing techniques right and just 4447 03:12:05,090 --> 03:12:02,880 having a uniform set of cameras a 4448 03:12:07,130 --> 03:12:05,100 uniform set of detectors so you 4449 03:12:09,050 --> 03:12:07,140 understand and characterize them right 4450 03:12:12,230 --> 03:12:09,060 because this is a a needle in the 4451 03:12:15,110 --> 03:12:12,240 haystack problem and you know every 4452 03:12:18,769 --> 03:12:15,120 camera I mean I'd mentioned in the uh 4453 03:12:20,570 --> 03:12:18,779 opening session ghosting in Optics yes 4454 03:12:22,429 --> 03:12:20,580 now that's going to be different in 4455 03:12:23,809 --> 03:12:22,439 every different detector every day right 4456 03:12:26,090 --> 03:12:23,819 and you 4457 03:12:27,590 --> 03:12:26,100 um before we get to the analysis 4458 03:12:30,830 --> 03:12:27,600 techniques we want to make sure we 4459 03:12:32,750 --> 03:12:30,840 design the data collection so that the 4460 03:12:35,450 --> 03:12:32,760 analysis techniques can effectively be 4461 03:12:39,110 --> 03:12:35,460 used on it right David can take a slight 4462 03:12:44,090 --> 03:12:40,969 it sounds like you're implying that you 4463 03:12:45,650 --> 03:12:44,100 need a single way of collecting the data 4464 03:12:47,510 --> 03:12:45,660 I'd argue it's really you need to 4465 03:12:48,830 --> 03:12:47,520 understand the various ways in which 4466 03:12:51,590 --> 03:12:48,840 you're collecting the data and you're 4467 03:12:52,969 --> 03:12:51,600 able to cross calibrate across those 4468 03:12:54,950 --> 03:12:52,979 different approaches 4469 03:12:59,990 --> 03:12:54,960 uh because I seriously doubt that there 4470 03:13:02,630 --> 03:13:00,000 is a single detector I I think a handful 4471 03:13:04,969 --> 03:13:02,640 of ways so that you're yeah well 4472 03:13:07,429 --> 03:13:04,979 characterized things things need to be 4473 03:13:10,250 --> 03:13:07,439 well characterized to be useful I guess 4474 03:13:11,929 --> 03:13:10,260 is the way I would state it and uh it 4475 03:13:13,730 --> 03:13:11,939 takes time and energy to well 4476 03:13:15,469 --> 03:13:13,740 characterize things so that that's 4477 03:13:18,290 --> 03:13:15,479 that's I think the challenge 4478 03:13:20,389 --> 03:13:18,300 so following up on both your points I 4479 03:13:22,250 --> 03:13:20,399 think it's where we can actually apply 4480 03:13:24,110 --> 03:13:22,260 artificial intelligence so we cannot 4481 03:13:26,570 --> 03:13:24,120 apply Artificial Intelligence on the 4482 03:13:29,650 --> 03:13:26,580 current data but we can apply artificial 4483 03:13:32,030 --> 03:13:29,660 intelligence in a way that we can design 4484 03:13:34,370 --> 03:13:32,040 characteristics for the data that we 4485 03:13:37,670 --> 03:13:34,380 need and how we can collect the data 4486 03:13:40,670 --> 03:13:39,469 is probably more of a frustration than 4487 03:13:42,410 --> 03:13:40,680 anything else so I don't know how 4488 03:13:44,269 --> 03:13:42,420 helpful it'll be but 4489 03:13:46,490 --> 03:13:44,279 I think we're not looking for a needle 4490 03:13:47,990 --> 03:13:46,500 in Haystack we're looking for anomaly in 4491 03:13:51,110 --> 03:13:48,000 Haystack we don't even know that we're 4492 03:13:52,690 --> 03:13:51,120 looking for a needle that it's just a 4493 03:13:54,889 --> 03:13:52,700 discolored piece of hay 4494 03:13:56,630 --> 03:13:54,899 I'm from Montana so I love good hay 4495 03:13:58,910 --> 03:13:56,640 analogy 4496 03:14:00,230 --> 03:13:58,920 I don't know what the phenomenology is 4497 03:14:02,750 --> 03:14:00,240 that we're looking for 4498 03:14:04,490 --> 03:14:02,760 we say anomalous again in this question 4499 03:14:06,530 --> 03:14:04,500 earlier what does that mean anomalous 4500 03:14:08,750 --> 03:14:06,540 acceleration like I think as we try to 4501 03:14:11,150 --> 03:14:08,760 look at the data we're starting from an 4502 03:14:13,010 --> 03:14:11,160 almost impossible position when if we 4503 03:14:15,250 --> 03:14:13,020 don't know what we're looking for is it 4504 03:14:17,269 --> 03:14:15,260 a radiation signature is it something 4505 03:14:19,790 --> 03:14:17,279 electromagnetic is it something like 4506 03:14:21,830 --> 03:14:19,800 that is why this is so challenging and 4507 03:14:23,990 --> 03:14:21,840 frustrating to me that we're talking 4508 03:14:25,550 --> 03:14:24,000 about monitoring something that we don't 4509 03:14:28,429 --> 03:14:25,560 even know what we're supposed to Monitor 4510 03:14:31,330 --> 03:14:28,439 and let me just offer Josh before you 4511 03:14:35,269 --> 03:14:31,340 jump in the the scientific process of 4512 03:14:38,450 --> 03:14:35,279 hypothesis-driven research right of that 4513 03:14:40,969 --> 03:14:38,460 while we don't know all of the possible 4514 03:14:43,849 --> 03:14:40,979 outcomes in the entire world we can ask 4515 03:14:47,210 --> 03:14:43,859 very specific questions and go about it 4516 03:14:49,910 --> 03:14:47,220 in a very scientific process to 4517 03:14:52,010 --> 03:14:49,920 understand so you're right we don't know 4518 03:14:54,769 --> 03:14:52,020 exactly what we're looking for but we 4519 03:14:58,969 --> 03:14:54,779 know hot spots as we've seen from both 4520 03:15:00,530 --> 03:14:58,979 FAA and arrow we do know some of those 4521 03:15:02,929 --> 03:15:00,540 conditions that we might be able looking 4522 03:15:05,510 --> 03:15:02,939 for so if you start with with kind of 4523 03:15:07,610 --> 03:15:05,520 what you know or places to start to go 4524 03:15:10,429 --> 03:15:07,620 and look and you start with the data 4525 03:15:13,429 --> 03:15:10,439 that we have available to us 4526 03:15:15,530 --> 03:15:13,439 we might start being able to untangle 4527 03:15:17,450 --> 03:15:15,540 the chicken and egg problem 4528 03:15:20,389 --> 03:15:17,460 so Jen what is the phenomena that we're 4529 03:15:25,550 --> 03:15:22,809 so we've heard them from Sean 4530 03:15:27,110 --> 03:15:25,560 I would pull up Sean's chart but I can't 4531 03:15:29,030 --> 03:15:27,120 quickly do that 4532 03:15:31,130 --> 03:15:29,040 um of the criteria that he said on the 4533 03:15:34,610 --> 03:15:31,140 trends I use word criteria he said 4534 03:15:36,469 --> 03:15:34,620 trends of six or seven 4535 03:15:41,210 --> 03:15:36,479 um 4536 03:15:44,570 --> 03:15:41,220 uh phenomena I guess of specific size or 4537 03:15:45,830 --> 03:15:44,580 within a specific motion range and it's 4538 03:15:47,570 --> 03:15:45,840 something 4539 03:15:50,090 --> 03:15:47,580 different than what we've seen before 4540 03:15:51,590 --> 03:15:50,100 something we don't recognize 4541 03:15:53,630 --> 03:15:51,600 and so when you go to look for something 4542 03:15:57,170 --> 03:15:53,640 that you don't recognize 4543 03:15:59,210 --> 03:15:57,180 it it can be pretty easy and that we've 4544 03:16:01,269 --> 03:15:59,220 fooled ourselves today and even watching 4545 03:16:03,590 --> 03:16:01,279 some of these videos of what's going on 4546 03:16:06,410 --> 03:16:03,600 but when you're able to corroborate that 4547 03:16:08,090 --> 03:16:06,420 with three or four other sources it 4548 03:16:09,889 --> 03:16:08,100 starts to make sense 4549 03:16:12,590 --> 03:16:09,899 right so something that looks like magic 4550 03:16:14,330 --> 03:16:12,600 to the naked eye or to that camera in 4551 03:16:17,389 --> 03:16:14,340 that sensor 4552 03:16:19,250 --> 03:16:17,399 um isn't once you understand all of the 4553 03:16:20,809 --> 03:16:19,260 effects of what was going on in the 4554 03:16:23,210 --> 03:16:20,819 surrounding environment 4555 03:16:24,410 --> 03:16:23,220 it's a good question can we um because I 4556 03:16:27,710 --> 03:16:24,420 got the same frustration you do right 4557 03:16:29,030 --> 03:16:27,720 it's it's regardless of um uh what 4558 03:16:30,950 --> 03:16:29,040 you're looking for if you don't know 4559 03:16:32,809 --> 03:16:30,960 what it is whether you're using AI or 4560 03:16:34,429 --> 03:16:32,819 match filtering techniques you can't 4561 03:16:35,929 --> 03:16:34,439 find it right you can't find it so I 4562 03:16:38,389 --> 03:16:35,939 guess a question I have is can we use 4563 03:16:39,769 --> 03:16:38,399 social media that kind of thing as a way 4564 03:16:40,849 --> 03:16:39,779 of queuing 4565 03:16:42,230 --> 03:16:40,859 um to know where something's happening 4566 03:16:44,030 --> 03:16:42,240 because we know Google searches can lead 4567 03:16:45,889 --> 03:16:44,040 you to better understand where outbreaks 4568 03:16:47,269 --> 03:16:45,899 happen right disease outbreaks can you 4569 03:16:48,590 --> 03:16:47,279 use similar type of conflation of data 4570 03:16:50,750 --> 03:16:48,600 to start saying well something's going 4571 03:16:52,370 --> 03:16:50,760 on here let's start cueing sensors in 4572 03:16:54,769 --> 03:16:52,380 that area that requires some real-time 4573 03:16:57,290 --> 03:16:54,779 capability but is that something we can 4574 03:17:00,110 --> 03:16:57,300 think about 4575 03:17:01,969 --> 03:17:00,120 can I object to that just a bit uh I you 4576 03:17:05,269 --> 03:17:01,979 can find things that you don't know how 4577 03:17:07,250 --> 03:17:05,279 they look okay there is a lot of the 4578 03:17:09,170 --> 03:17:07,260 algorithms in anomaly detection are 4579 03:17:12,230 --> 03:17:09,180 really based on let's know let's find 4580 03:17:14,389 --> 03:17:12,240 out how what we know looks like so that 4581 03:17:16,370 --> 03:17:14,399 anything that doesn't look like that can 4582 03:17:17,690 --> 03:17:16,380 be identified and spotted and then we 4583 03:17:20,030 --> 03:17:17,700 can think whether or not we understand 4584 03:17:23,330 --> 03:17:20,040 you right and so I think the point about 4585 03:17:25,969 --> 03:17:23,340 the homogeneous detectors really is 4586 03:17:27,469 --> 03:17:25,979 about that we need to have a solid 4587 03:17:29,690 --> 03:17:27,479 understanding of the normal to attack 4588 03:17:32,150 --> 03:17:29,700 the abnormal was really outliers as we 4589 03:17:35,809 --> 03:17:32,160 sometimes perhaps more often call them 4590 03:17:38,150 --> 03:17:35,819 in in science right yeah absolutely 4591 03:17:40,130 --> 03:17:38,160 um I do want to be cautious of time 4592 03:17:42,710 --> 03:17:40,140 we were supposed to end this about 10 4593 03:17:44,090 --> 03:17:42,720 minutes ago right so but this is drifted 4594 03:17:46,670 --> 03:17:44,100 into discussion but I think we're doing 4595 03:17:47,929 --> 03:17:46,680 discussion so do you have any last topic 4596 03:17:49,429 --> 03:17:47,939 you want to hit if not then we'll just 4597 03:17:50,630 --> 03:17:49,439 open up to General discussion I have 4598 03:17:52,670 --> 03:17:50,640 four more questions that we're 4599 03:17:55,450 --> 03:17:52,680 technically supposed to answer all right 4600 03:17:58,070 --> 03:17:55,460 let's do one 4601 03:18:03,710 --> 03:17:58,080 we can do four questions in two minutes 4602 03:18:08,150 --> 03:18:06,349 what basic physical constraints can be 4603 03:18:09,590 --> 03:18:08,160 placed on the nature and origins of UAP 4604 03:18:14,570 --> 03:18:09,600 Mike would you like to take this 4605 03:18:19,010 --> 03:18:14,580 question absolutely okay got it 4606 03:18:21,230 --> 03:18:19,020 um I uh in my my notes to answer this 4607 03:18:23,809 --> 03:18:21,240 knew that Sean had presented some Trends 4608 03:18:25,070 --> 03:18:23,819 so I I used that kind of as the basis 4609 03:18:26,870 --> 03:18:25,080 for 4610 03:18:28,309 --> 03:18:26,880 um what basic physical constraints could 4611 03:18:30,889 --> 03:18:28,319 be available 4612 03:18:32,870 --> 03:18:30,899 um and also the Josh's presentation that 4613 03:18:34,969 --> 03:18:32,880 he just presented of we know some of 4614 03:18:36,889 --> 03:18:34,979 these are still in the realm of 4615 03:18:38,570 --> 03:18:36,899 understanding we just haven't applied 4616 03:18:40,370 --> 03:18:38,580 basic physics to understand what's there 4617 03:18:43,730 --> 03:18:40,380 what we have 4618 03:18:46,250 --> 03:18:43,740 uh question six what civilian airspace 4619 03:18:49,309 --> 03:18:46,260 data related to uaps have been collected 4620 03:18:52,969 --> 03:18:49,319 by government agencies and are available 4621 03:18:54,710 --> 03:18:52,979 for analysis to a inform efforts to 4622 03:18:58,670 --> 03:18:54,720 better understand the nature and origins 4623 03:19:01,309 --> 03:18:58,680 of uaps and B determine the risk of uaps 4624 03:19:02,030 --> 03:19:01,319 to the National airspace 4625 03:19:04,610 --> 03:19:02,040 um 4626 03:19:08,510 --> 03:19:04,620 so 4627 03:19:09,830 --> 03:19:08,520 examples from today to kind of move 4628 03:19:11,150 --> 03:19:09,840 quickly 4629 03:19:14,210 --> 03:19:11,160 um some of this in Mike freeze 4630 03:19:16,790 --> 03:19:14,220 presentation and talking about the the 4631 03:19:18,530 --> 03:19:16,800 error risks right that FAA is always 4632 03:19:19,309 --> 03:19:18,540 looking out for 4633 03:19:21,290 --> 03:19:19,319 um 4634 03:19:24,469 --> 03:19:21,300 we know 4635 03:19:26,210 --> 03:19:24,479 um by altitude and by sensor and 4636 03:19:28,790 --> 03:19:26,220 curvature of the earth and line of sight 4637 03:19:30,889 --> 03:19:28,800 and as you get higher that you can see 4638 03:19:33,170 --> 03:19:30,899 more right so we have a lot of Civilian 4639 03:19:34,330 --> 03:19:33,180 airspace data that can start to 4640 03:19:37,910 --> 03:19:34,340 understand 4641 03:19:39,670 --> 03:19:37,920 the nature and origins of the UAP and 4642 03:19:43,130 --> 03:19:39,680 determining the risk 4643 03:19:45,530 --> 03:19:43,140 is based on how much you know right so 4644 03:19:47,929 --> 03:19:45,540 you think about I I go straight to space 4645 03:19:50,330 --> 03:19:47,939 and I think about satellites and one's 4646 03:19:52,250 --> 03:19:50,340 um tiny piece of space debris can 4647 03:19:54,050 --> 03:19:52,260 destroy an entire satellite because 4648 03:19:57,110 --> 03:19:54,060 they're moving really really fast in in 4649 03:20:00,530 --> 03:19:57,120 the vacuum of space it's not necessarily 4650 03:20:02,150 --> 03:20:00,540 so true in airspace right 4651 03:20:06,469 --> 03:20:02,160 um but something that we don't know 4652 03:20:09,349 --> 03:20:06,479 could have a severe impact on pilots and 4653 03:20:11,389 --> 03:20:09,359 their flight plan and all of that which 4654 03:20:15,050 --> 03:20:11,399 then could really 4655 03:20:16,969 --> 03:20:15,060 uh wreak havoc on all of all of the 4656 03:20:18,650 --> 03:20:16,979 United States airspace and so being able 4657 03:20:20,510 --> 03:20:18,660 to understand and identify what those 4658 03:20:23,750 --> 03:20:20,520 are phenomena are 4659 03:20:25,610 --> 03:20:23,760 um will help de-risk the the air flight 4660 03:20:27,530 --> 03:20:25,620 safety 4661 03:20:31,370 --> 03:20:27,540 the in the National airspace 4662 03:20:32,870 --> 03:20:31,380 um question seven what current reporting 4663 03:20:35,570 --> 03:20:32,880 protocols and air traffic management 4664 03:20:38,030 --> 03:20:35,580 data acquisition systems can be modified 4665 03:20:41,150 --> 03:20:38,040 to acquire additional data on past and 4666 03:20:42,769 --> 03:20:41,160 future uaps we've heard a lot of the 4667 03:20:45,710 --> 03:20:42,779 reporting structures it was talked about 4668 03:20:48,290 --> 03:20:45,720 earlier today those probably can be 4669 03:20:50,150 --> 03:20:48,300 adapted and improved and it's up to us 4670 03:20:53,210 --> 03:20:50,160 in discussion as the panel on what those 4671 03:20:55,790 --> 03:20:53,220 recommendations might be question eight 4672 03:20:58,309 --> 03:20:55,800 and I'll get off stage what potential 4673 03:21:00,889 --> 03:20:58,319 enhancements to the Future air traffic 4674 03:21:03,710 --> 03:21:00,899 management development efforts can be 4675 03:21:06,469 --> 03:21:03,720 recommended to acquire data concerning 4676 03:21:08,210 --> 03:21:06,479 future reported uaps to assist in the 4677 03:21:11,150 --> 03:21:08,220 effort to better understand the nature 4678 03:21:11,809 --> 03:21:11,160 and origins of the uaps 4679 03:21:14,929 --> 03:21:11,819 um 4680 03:21:16,969 --> 03:21:14,939 the potential enhancements 4681 03:21:19,730 --> 03:21:16,979 automatic filtering of the knowns has 4682 03:21:20,450 --> 03:21:19,740 come up as a talking point 4683 03:21:22,210 --> 03:21:20,460 um 4684 03:21:27,590 --> 03:21:22,220 these are 4685 03:21:28,370 --> 03:21:27,600 uh specific really to acquiring data 4686 03:21:31,450 --> 03:21:28,380 um 4687 03:21:35,690 --> 03:21:31,460 the tuning of those sensor platforms 4688 03:21:38,150 --> 03:21:35,700 the multimodal Spectrum collection and 4689 03:21:41,110 --> 03:21:38,160 being able to kind of time stamp or 4690 03:21:44,510 --> 03:21:41,120 geostamp each of those to to collaborate 4691 03:21:46,670 --> 03:21:44,520 the the sightings so I will leave the 4692 03:21:48,650 --> 03:21:46,680 panel with that with time to continue 4693 03:21:52,610 --> 03:21:48,660 discussion 4694 03:21:52,620 --> 03:22:05,030 okay great let me go up to let me uh 4695 03:22:10,250 --> 03:22:07,450 but before I open it up I just wanted to 4696 03:22:12,170 --> 03:22:10,260 restate federica's answer to Mike for 4697 03:22:14,870 --> 03:22:12,180 hey 4698 03:22:15,769 --> 03:22:14,880 if you know the properties of hay very 4699 03:22:17,870 --> 03:22:15,779 well 4700 03:22:19,670 --> 03:22:17,880 and you can you go through your Haystack 4701 03:22:22,309 --> 03:22:19,680 and say 4702 03:22:23,929 --> 03:22:22,319 I don't know what this is but it doesn't 4703 03:22:26,269 --> 03:22:23,939 look like hey 4704 03:22:28,490 --> 03:22:26,279 you don't need to have a match filter 4705 03:22:32,389 --> 03:22:28,500 looking for a needle in a haystack if 4706 03:22:32,399 --> 03:22:36,710 I 4707 03:22:43,429 --> 03:22:40,429 now as a New York City resident 4708 03:22:44,870 --> 03:22:43,439 my impression is we go through hay with 4709 03:22:47,269 --> 03:22:44,880 your you don't want to do it with your 4710 03:22:53,450 --> 03:22:49,969 but I I defer to you 4711 03:22:58,429 --> 03:22:53,460 on a uh yeah 4712 03:23:01,790 --> 03:22:58,439 I think yeah yeah so um I want to 4713 03:23:03,590 --> 03:23:01,800 in the final minutes we have here before 4714 03:23:05,809 --> 03:23:03,600 the public session 4715 03:23:08,269 --> 03:23:05,819 look to the Future 4716 03:23:10,070 --> 03:23:08,279 I think a lot of us have looked at the 4717 03:23:11,690 --> 03:23:10,080 data we have now with a sense of 4718 03:23:15,530 --> 03:23:11,700 dissatisfaction 4719 03:23:17,929 --> 03:23:15,540 and say what data would you want and how 4720 03:23:19,969 --> 03:23:17,939 would you want to collect it 4721 03:23:22,969 --> 03:23:19,979 um and just think about you know we 4722 03:23:25,670 --> 03:23:22,979 don't need to design the detectors but 4723 03:23:28,309 --> 03:23:25,680 think about the characterization that we 4724 03:23:30,110 --> 03:23:28,319 we'd like what wavelengths we'd like and 4725 03:23:33,710 --> 03:23:30,120 you know just to kind of throw that out 4726 03:23:39,370 --> 03:23:33,720 as a one way to think about uh 4727 03:23:45,590 --> 03:23:42,469 so one thing that strikes me in that 4728 03:23:48,349 --> 03:23:45,600 question is that I'm not totally certain 4729 03:23:50,170 --> 03:23:48,359 that we've dedicated our time and effort 4730 03:23:53,030 --> 03:23:50,180 to looking for 4731 03:23:54,830 --> 03:23:53,040 anomalies I think by default there are 4732 03:23:58,670 --> 03:23:54,840 some science communities 4733 03:24:00,530 --> 03:23:58,680 that look for things like um uh the 4734 03:24:02,630 --> 03:24:00,540 Genesis of a hurricane or a harmful 4735 03:24:05,750 --> 03:24:02,640 algal bloom in the ocean or you know 4736 03:24:07,550 --> 03:24:05,760 something in interstellar space but I'm 4737 03:24:10,070 --> 03:24:07,560 not sure we ever focused our 4738 03:24:11,690 --> 03:24:10,080 interdisciplinary effort on that and I 4739 03:24:13,849 --> 03:24:11,700 think the question you ask is a really 4740 03:24:16,250 --> 03:24:13,859 interesting one part of our statement of 4741 03:24:18,410 --> 03:24:16,260 task right but I'm not sure I can answer 4742 03:24:19,670 --> 03:24:18,420 that quite yet that's how I feel about 4743 03:24:23,210 --> 03:24:19,680 that one 4744 03:24:27,290 --> 03:24:24,590 surely right 4745 03:24:28,429 --> 03:24:27,300 um yeah going along with Dr buns Happy's 4746 03:24:30,170 --> 03:24:28,439 point there 4747 03:24:32,809 --> 03:24:30,180 we heard a lot from Arrow about 4748 03:24:35,330 --> 03:24:32,819 specifics about the needle one to four 4749 03:24:38,330 --> 03:24:35,340 meters in size zero to Mach two you can 4750 03:24:41,929 --> 03:24:38,340 then look at NASA's assets right 4751 03:24:44,330 --> 03:24:41,939 and look at its spatial resolution its 4752 03:24:45,889 --> 03:24:44,340 spectral resolution in particular the 4753 03:24:47,630 --> 03:24:45,899 frame rate to get I'm going to get your 4754 03:24:49,309 --> 03:24:47,640 question here 4755 03:24:51,830 --> 03:24:49,319 um Dr spurgle 4756 03:24:53,990 --> 03:24:51,840 you can look at the current NASA assets 4757 03:24:56,990 --> 03:24:54,000 and try to say which ones could find 4758 03:24:58,610 --> 03:24:57,000 that needle the ones that uh Dr 4759 03:25:01,190 --> 03:24:58,620 Kirkpatrick put forward 4760 03:25:03,950 --> 03:25:01,200 that analysis has not been done so one 4761 03:25:06,710 --> 03:25:03,960 of my recommendations would be for NASA 4762 03:25:09,170 --> 03:25:06,720 to convene a group and a task force to 4763 03:25:12,950 --> 03:25:09,180 look at its current assets to calculate 4764 03:25:15,590 --> 03:25:12,960 what current available data current data 4765 03:25:18,590 --> 03:25:15,600 and current facilities could answer 4766 03:25:21,050 --> 03:25:18,600 insight into that now to get to your 4767 03:25:24,950 --> 03:25:21,060 future question looking at this I see 4768 03:25:27,710 --> 03:25:24,960 Walter is um frame rate I see a really 4769 03:25:29,570 --> 03:25:27,720 big issue with frame rate so if you want 4770 03:25:31,969 --> 03:25:29,580 to catch fast moving objects you need to 4771 03:25:34,250 --> 03:25:31,979 take quick images if you want to get to 4772 03:25:36,950 --> 03:25:34,260 these very small sizes and resolution 4773 03:25:38,630 --> 03:25:36,960 depending on altitude where your actual 4774 03:25:39,590 --> 03:25:38,640 you're taking your image from ground or 4775 03:25:42,349 --> 03:25:39,600 space 4776 03:25:45,170 --> 03:25:42,359 NASA will likely have to increase its 4777 03:25:48,110 --> 03:25:45,180 frame rate into its detectors 4778 03:25:50,150 --> 03:25:48,120 I think a short answer to what NASA's 4779 03:25:52,190 --> 03:25:50,160 current assets would be able to see 4780 03:25:54,710 --> 03:25:52,200 would be really big Haystacks that are 4781 03:25:56,050 --> 03:25:54,720 moving very slowly which I think is the 4782 03:25:58,670 --> 03:25:56,060 point that you're making 4783 03:26:00,410 --> 03:25:58,680 but that doesn't mean that that data is 4784 03:26:02,570 --> 03:26:00,420 not useful because if it's able to 4785 03:26:03,710 --> 03:26:02,580 characterize the background extremely 4786 03:26:05,150 --> 03:26:03,720 well 4787 03:26:08,269 --> 03:26:05,160 that 4788 03:26:10,309 --> 03:26:08,279 gives you a better idea of what unusual 4789 03:26:11,929 --> 03:26:10,319 looks like basically anything that you 4790 03:26:15,110 --> 03:26:11,939 do that characterizes the background 4791 03:26:16,729 --> 03:26:15,120 will contribute to an understanding 4792 03:26:18,950 --> 03:26:16,739 so we're going to have to cut this off 4793 03:26:21,349 --> 03:26:18,960 now because we're now going to our our 4794 03:26:26,809 --> 03:26:21,359 public session public comment session so 4795 03:26:26,819 --> 03:26:31,150 foreign 4796 03:26:36,410 --> 03:26:33,830 I am Karen Fox with NASA's office of 4797 03:26:39,469 --> 03:26:36,420 communications and we are segwaying into 4798 03:26:43,010 --> 03:26:39,479 the public q a portion of this meeting 4799 03:26:45,349 --> 03:26:43,020 uh as a reminder this is a facca meeting 4800 03:26:48,110 --> 03:26:45,359 that is a federal advisory committee act 4801 03:26:49,790 --> 03:26:48,120 and so we are under guidance which says 4802 03:26:53,929 --> 03:26:49,800 that these meetings are public and that 4803 03:26:56,269 --> 03:26:53,939 we take public uh questions uh we got 4804 03:26:57,410 --> 03:26:56,279 hundreds and hundreds of questions and I 4805 03:26:59,630 --> 03:26:57,420 just wanted to take a moment to say 4806 03:27:01,490 --> 03:26:59,640 thank you to everybody who who submitted 4807 03:27:03,110 --> 03:27:01,500 them uh we're obviously not going to get 4808 03:27:04,610 --> 03:27:03,120 to all of them today but we are going to 4809 03:27:07,630 --> 03:27:04,620 make attempts to answer some of them 4810 03:27:11,090 --> 03:27:07,640 online you can always check back to 4811 03:27:12,410 --> 03:27:11,100 science.nasa.gov UAP where over time we 4812 03:27:14,750 --> 03:27:12,420 will make it clear where we're putting 4813 03:27:16,070 --> 03:27:14,760 up some more of those answers in the 4814 03:27:20,929 --> 03:27:16,080 meantime we did have to make some 4815 03:27:23,210 --> 03:27:20,939 decisions uh we stuck two questions that 4816 03:27:25,090 --> 03:27:23,220 applied to this independent study and 4817 03:27:27,110 --> 03:27:25,100 uaps there were a lot of questions about 4818 03:27:29,150 --> 03:27:27,120 astrobiology and other subjects that 4819 03:27:31,130 --> 03:27:29,160 we're not going to get to today and also 4820 03:27:33,229 --> 03:27:31,140 in attempt to get to as many of the 4821 03:27:35,269 --> 03:27:33,239 questions as possible since so many of 4822 03:27:37,429 --> 03:27:35,279 them were similar we've we've sort of 4823 03:27:39,170 --> 03:27:37,439 bucketed them and that is how we're 4824 03:27:40,370 --> 03:27:39,180 going to try to address as many as 4825 03:27:42,110 --> 03:27:40,380 possible so I'm going to toss the 4826 03:27:43,849 --> 03:27:42,120 questions to you and we'll and we'll 4827 03:27:45,530 --> 03:27:43,859 look to getting some answers for our for 4828 03:27:50,570 --> 03:27:45,540 our public questions 4829 03:27:53,450 --> 03:27:50,580 all right so first set of questions 4830 03:27:55,490 --> 03:27:53,460 um are specifically about the the data 4831 03:27:58,010 --> 03:27:55,500 being used so 4832 03:28:00,650 --> 03:27:58,020 examples what exactly are you 4833 03:28:02,929 --> 03:28:00,660 incorporating into your report what data 4834 03:28:05,389 --> 03:28:02,939 are we using what are some examples of 4835 03:28:07,490 --> 03:28:05,399 data being used do we have multi-sensor 4836 03:28:09,650 --> 03:28:07,500 data or of objects performing Maneuvers 4837 03:28:12,050 --> 03:28:09,660 that seem truly anomalous do we have 4838 03:28:13,429 --> 03:28:12,060 photos videos what about having the NASA 4839 03:28:15,349 --> 03:28:13,439 historian go through the NASA's 4840 03:28:17,990 --> 03:28:15,359 historical records did you interview 4841 03:28:19,610 --> 03:28:18,000 military or Pilots for this study so 4842 03:28:23,269 --> 03:28:19,620 looking for some information about the 4843 03:28:27,710 --> 03:28:25,250 I can toss to anyone David looks like 4844 03:28:29,269 --> 03:28:27,720 he's jumping in well I think first and 4845 03:28:30,650 --> 03:28:29,279 foremost our goal here is a way to 4846 03:28:32,510 --> 03:28:30,660 create a roadmap 4847 03:28:35,090 --> 03:28:32,520 right so really 4848 03:28:37,130 --> 03:28:35,100 um you know we have been informed by 4849 03:28:39,590 --> 03:28:37,140 some of the events that are reported and 4850 03:28:42,050 --> 03:28:39,600 we've had uh but we've certainly not 4851 03:28:44,269 --> 03:28:42,060 done a complete historical study on our 4852 03:28:47,090 --> 03:28:44,279 in an archive and I think one of the 4853 03:28:48,830 --> 03:28:47,100 things we've wanted to do was learn what 4854 03:28:51,050 --> 03:28:48,840 kinds of events have been reported learn 4855 03:28:52,429 --> 03:28:51,060 about some of the ones have been and 4856 03:28:56,150 --> 03:28:52,439 resolve some of the ones that are 4857 03:28:58,010 --> 03:28:56,160 unresolved so we can best think about 4858 03:29:00,349 --> 03:28:58,020 how in the future 4859 03:29:02,030 --> 03:29:00,359 we can collect data so that we can get 4860 03:29:03,469 --> 03:29:02,040 more robust answers 4861 03:29:06,469 --> 03:29:03,479 so that 4862 03:29:08,510 --> 03:29:06,479 I hope that that addressed that question 4863 03:29:10,250 --> 03:29:08,520 it does 4864 03:29:13,370 --> 03:29:10,260 others have anything else they'd like to 4865 03:29:17,750 --> 03:29:14,929 all right 4866 03:29:20,510 --> 03:29:17,760 said I will keep going 4867 03:29:22,910 --> 03:29:20,520 uh another big question category was 4868 03:29:25,429 --> 03:29:22,920 about transparency and about sharing 4869 03:29:28,550 --> 03:29:25,439 information and so examples in this 4870 03:29:30,349 --> 03:29:28,560 category are what is NASA hiding and 4871 03:29:32,750 --> 03:29:30,359 where are you hiding it 4872 03:29:35,929 --> 03:29:32,760 how much has been shared publicly has 4873 03:29:38,750 --> 03:29:35,939 NASA ever cut the live NASA TV feed away 4874 03:29:41,150 --> 03:29:38,760 from something has NASA released all UAP 4875 03:29:43,790 --> 03:29:41,160 evidence it has ever received what about 4876 03:29:45,410 --> 03:29:43,800 NASA astronauts do they have an NDA or 4877 03:29:48,190 --> 03:29:45,420 clearance that does not allow them to 4878 03:29:55,550 --> 03:29:48,200 speak about UAP sightings 4879 03:30:00,070 --> 03:29:57,950 Dan Evans all right I'll take a stab at 4880 03:30:02,570 --> 03:30:00,080 the last one that one I really want to 4881 03:30:04,729 --> 03:30:02,580 assure the public 4882 03:30:07,370 --> 03:30:04,739 and to double down on the remarks I made 4883 03:30:10,190 --> 03:30:07,380 this morning that this agency is 4884 03:30:14,450 --> 03:30:10,200 absolutely cast iron committed to 4885 03:30:17,150 --> 03:30:14,460 openness and transparency and honesty 4886 03:30:19,550 --> 03:30:17,160 and that commitment also extends to our 4887 03:30:21,710 --> 03:30:19,560 live NASA TV feeds they provide 4888 03:30:22,790 --> 03:30:21,720 real-time footage from our various 4889 03:30:25,610 --> 03:30:22,800 missions 4890 03:30:28,969 --> 03:30:25,620 now to my knowledge NASA has never 4891 03:30:31,670 --> 03:30:28,979 intentionally cut a live feed to hide 4892 03:30:32,809 --> 03:30:31,680 anything and that includes uaps of 4893 03:30:35,210 --> 03:30:32,819 course 4894 03:30:37,130 --> 03:30:35,220 um sometimes there are interruptions to 4895 03:30:40,550 --> 03:30:37,140 our feeds but that is simply because 4896 03:30:42,349 --> 03:30:40,560 space is a complex place there's a vast 4897 03:30:45,229 --> 03:30:42,359 array of natural phenomena human-made 4898 03:30:47,030 --> 03:30:45,239 objects and so forth but again I wanted 4899 03:30:49,790 --> 03:30:47,040 to reassure the public that we're 4900 03:30:52,610 --> 03:30:49,800 absolutely committed to providing the 4901 03:30:54,290 --> 03:30:52,620 public transparency and openness those 4902 03:30:57,590 --> 03:30:54,300 are the Hallmarks of NASA that's why 4903 03:30:59,690 --> 03:30:57,600 we're here today in public on TV because 4904 03:31:02,389 --> 03:30:59,700 we want the public to have the 4905 03:31:05,570 --> 03:31:02,399 opportunity to see the process of this 4906 03:31:07,190 --> 03:31:05,580 committee doing its work in public it's 4907 03:31:09,710 --> 03:31:07,200 only right 4908 03:31:12,170 --> 03:31:09,720 just to follow up on what I what I said 4909 03:31:15,889 --> 03:31:12,180 I I didn't mean to be to joke about it 4910 03:31:19,309 --> 03:31:15,899 but in my 20 years at Nasa no one 4911 03:31:22,490 --> 03:31:19,319 either officially or unofficially 4912 03:31:24,650 --> 03:31:22,500 in my recollection have ever discussed 4913 03:31:27,229 --> 03:31:24,660 or briefed us or had any kind of 4914 03:31:30,889 --> 03:31:27,239 discussions about anything that would be 4915 03:31:32,809 --> 03:31:30,899 considered a UAP or UFO or anything like 4916 03:31:34,370 --> 03:31:32,819 that and I'll ask you to stand for one 4917 03:31:35,750 --> 03:31:34,380 second and state your name I'll ask you 4918 03:31:37,490 --> 03:31:35,760 to stand for one second and state your 4919 03:31:40,190 --> 03:31:37,500 name just so everybody know who was 4920 03:31:43,070 --> 03:31:40,200 speaking it's hard I'm just following up 4921 03:31:46,870 --> 03:31:43,080 on uh on the question about 4922 03:31:50,769 --> 03:31:46,880 if NASA astronauts ever signed an NDA or 4923 03:31:54,410 --> 03:31:50,779 anything of that uh anything like that 4924 03:31:56,510 --> 03:31:54,420 in my experience of being in the 4925 03:31:59,750 --> 03:31:56,520 astronaut office for 20 years there was 4926 03:32:04,929 --> 03:31:59,760 never any formal or informal discussions 4927 03:32:07,870 --> 03:32:04,939 at all about uaps or UFOs or anyone 4928 03:32:10,790 --> 03:32:07,880 reporting anything that would suggest 4929 03:32:12,950 --> 03:32:10,800 something from you know beyond our 4930 03:32:15,830 --> 03:32:12,960 planet 4931 03:32:17,450 --> 03:32:15,840 thank you very much yes please just want 4932 03:32:20,210 --> 03:32:17,460 to make a quick comment about the the 4933 03:32:23,630 --> 03:32:20,220 culture of science uh in relation to 4934 03:32:25,969 --> 03:32:23,640 this question uh scientists by Nature 4935 03:32:28,070 --> 03:32:25,979 are are at least intellectually sort of 4936 03:32:30,469 --> 03:32:28,080 rebellious it's it's it's in our nature 4937 03:32:31,670 --> 03:32:30,479 to question authority you know uh uh 4938 03:32:32,990 --> 03:32:31,680 that's how you're a good scientist you 4939 03:32:37,670 --> 03:32:33,000 don't just take someone's word for it 4940 03:32:39,349 --> 03:32:37,680 you try to uh discover the truth and for 4941 03:32:40,729 --> 03:32:39,359 that reason uh you know this question 4942 03:32:42,170 --> 03:32:40,739 about what are the science overlords 4943 03:32:44,630 --> 03:32:42,180 hiding that's sort of written in a 4944 03:32:47,809 --> 03:32:44,640 facetious way but I I just want to 4945 03:32:49,670 --> 03:32:47,819 emphasize that uh there's no way that 4946 03:32:51,830 --> 03:32:49,680 all that all scientists could be in on 4947 03:32:53,809 --> 03:32:51,840 on on on on trying to hide something 4948 03:32:55,550 --> 03:32:53,819 because it's just not in our nature if 4949 03:32:57,290 --> 03:32:55,560 somebody told me to try to hide 4950 03:33:01,070 --> 03:32:57,300 something as a scientist that would just 4951 03:33:03,769 --> 03:33:01,080 increase my desire to uh to re to belay 4952 03:33:05,630 --> 03:33:03,779 that order and and to release it and I 4953 03:33:08,330 --> 03:33:05,640 think that's true of of our our 4954 03:33:11,330 --> 03:33:08,340 community in general all right thank you 4955 03:33:12,710 --> 03:33:11,340 so much I am going to go on to our third 4956 03:33:15,290 --> 03:33:12,720 set of questions 4957 03:33:17,750 --> 03:33:15,300 um which is has NASA been tracking 4958 03:33:20,990 --> 03:33:17,760 Earth's atmosphere or are we also 4959 03:33:25,870 --> 03:33:21,000 studying bodies of water for for UAP and 4960 03:33:31,969 --> 03:33:28,969 here's the oceanographer 4961 03:33:34,610 --> 03:33:31,979 um uh so you know my understanding is 4962 03:33:36,290 --> 03:33:34,620 this is a completely independent study 4963 03:33:39,349 --> 03:33:36,300 to assess 4964 03:33:42,370 --> 03:33:39,359 you know what assets what data 4965 03:33:46,490 --> 03:33:42,380 um what science What observations 4966 03:33:49,150 --> 03:33:46,500 platforms NASA has to 4967 03:33:54,769 --> 03:33:49,160 potentially help evaluate and understand 4968 03:33:56,630 --> 03:33:54,779 uh UAP right we have um well NASA has an 4969 03:33:59,210 --> 03:33:56,640 earth science Division and many 4970 03:34:01,389 --> 03:33:59,220 scientists at many centers and many 4971 03:34:04,849 --> 03:34:01,399 academics and other partners out there 4972 03:34:06,650 --> 03:34:04,859 that study the Earth as a system we do 4973 03:34:11,090 --> 03:34:06,660 this from the unique vantage point of 4974 03:34:15,170 --> 03:34:11,100 space and the atmosphere is part of that 4975 03:34:17,389 --> 03:34:15,180 um so uh I think Dr Kirkpatrick stated 4976 03:34:20,210 --> 03:34:17,399 this morning that to his knowledge and I 4977 03:34:22,969 --> 03:34:20,220 think to ours there there isn't anything 4978 03:34:24,650 --> 03:34:22,979 that's been reported below the ocean 4979 03:34:27,229 --> 03:34:24,660 surface 4980 03:34:28,670 --> 03:34:27,239 um you know and so I think 4981 03:34:31,550 --> 03:34:28,680 part of what we've been talking about 4982 03:34:33,110 --> 03:34:31,560 all day is you know what assets are out 4983 03:34:34,790 --> 03:34:33,120 there to actually 4984 03:34:35,510 --> 03:34:34,800 begin to 4985 03:34:37,729 --> 03:34:35,520 um 4986 03:34:39,530 --> 03:34:37,739 identify data that could be useful in 4987 03:34:41,750 --> 03:34:39,540 explaining any of these reports if and 4988 03:34:44,269 --> 03:34:41,760 should they come in so I think that's 4989 03:34:47,450 --> 03:34:44,279 probably it unless there's something 4990 03:34:51,830 --> 03:34:49,610 all right then thank you 4991 03:34:55,070 --> 03:34:51,840 moving on to our fourth 4992 03:34:57,250 --> 03:34:55,080 General bucket of questions uh what are 4993 03:35:01,070 --> 03:34:57,260 you doing to solve the stigmatization 4994 03:35:03,290 --> 03:35:01,080 surrounding the study of UAP 4995 03:35:04,790 --> 03:35:03,300 I can take that one 4996 03:35:08,510 --> 03:35:04,800 and say your name if you wouldn't mind 4997 03:35:11,150 --> 03:35:08,520 first Carwin toner FAA 4998 03:35:13,610 --> 03:35:11,160 um I think the fact that NASA has called 4999 03:35:15,769 --> 03:35:13,620 us together here as a panel to look into 5000 03:35:18,710 --> 03:35:15,779 this that NASA is hosting a public 5001 03:35:20,809 --> 03:35:18,720 meeting that we've heard right it 5002 03:35:23,510 --> 03:35:20,819 clearly stated we're here to be 5003 03:35:27,050 --> 03:35:23,520 transparent I think that's the first 5004 03:35:30,530 --> 03:35:27,060 step in trying to really normalize the 5005 03:35:32,269 --> 03:35:30,540 study of uips and I you know we talked a 5006 03:35:34,729 --> 03:35:32,279 little bit earlier 5007 03:35:38,889 --> 03:35:34,739 um about the reporting about how to make 5008 03:35:41,530 --> 03:35:38,899 it credible and we talked also about UAP 5009 03:35:45,110 --> 03:35:41,540 in one of the earlier talks this morning 5010 03:35:48,050 --> 03:35:45,120 of the definition of the a whether it 5011 03:35:50,090 --> 03:35:48,060 was Ariel or anomalous has the 5012 03:35:52,130 --> 03:35:50,100 legislation now is and really the 5013 03:35:54,830 --> 03:35:52,140 distinction Beyond UFOs right when we're 5014 03:35:57,050 --> 03:35:54,840 looking at uaps here we're Beyond just 5015 03:36:00,110 --> 03:35:57,060 airplanes we're we're looking at all 5016 03:36:02,150 --> 03:36:00,120 types of anomalous phenomena 5017 03:36:05,750 --> 03:36:02,160 um and so that's just a more inclusive 5018 03:36:10,010 --> 03:36:07,670 still Michael 5019 03:36:11,630 --> 03:36:10,020 um just wanted to emphasize what uh 5020 03:36:13,070 --> 03:36:11,640 Carlin said which is so accurate I 5021 03:36:15,050 --> 03:36:13,080 really consider it quite amazing that 5022 03:36:17,570 --> 03:36:15,060 we're here having this discussion NASA 5023 03:36:19,910 --> 03:36:17,580 leadership serves great kudos for this 5024 03:36:21,769 --> 03:36:19,920 and Beyond I think a recommendation that 5025 03:36:24,670 --> 03:36:21,779 I'd like to make is that NASA 5026 03:36:27,710 --> 03:36:24,680 participate in symposia in panels 5027 03:36:30,410 --> 03:36:27,720 sponsor research when you have the NASA 5028 03:36:33,530 --> 03:36:30,420 logo on that sponsored research on the 5029 03:36:35,389 --> 03:36:33,540 discussion it really helps normalize and 5030 03:36:37,550 --> 03:36:35,399 push back against the stigma I think 5031 03:36:40,070 --> 03:36:37,560 NASA can leverage his excellent 5032 03:36:42,349 --> 03:36:40,080 reputation both domestically and abroad 5033 03:36:43,610 --> 03:36:42,359 to help push back on that stigma I think 5034 03:36:44,929 --> 03:36:43,620 it's important to do so not just for 5035 03:36:47,389 --> 03:36:44,939 Science and Discovery but for National 5036 03:36:49,130 --> 03:36:47,399 Security that we've all seen what's 5037 03:36:51,590 --> 03:36:49,140 occurred with balloons from rival 5038 03:36:53,450 --> 03:36:51,600 Nations we don't want this stigma to be 5039 03:36:56,090 --> 03:36:53,460 a vulnerability that rival Nations can 5040 03:36:58,849 --> 03:36:56,100 take advantage of 5041 03:37:01,190 --> 03:36:58,859 yes Dan good thanks Karen just a few 5042 03:37:03,229 --> 03:37:01,200 additional points um from you know the 5043 03:37:06,590 --> 03:37:03,239 agency perspective we are of course 5044 03:37:09,170 --> 03:37:06,600 taking a set of actions to effectively 5045 03:37:11,030 --> 03:37:09,180 normalize the study of UAP so that 5046 03:37:13,309 --> 03:37:11,040 involves collaborating across the 5047 03:37:15,349 --> 03:37:13,319 government encouraging an open dialogue 5048 03:37:16,849 --> 03:37:15,359 and promoting rigorous scientific 5049 03:37:19,130 --> 03:37:16,859 inquiry 5050 03:37:21,530 --> 03:37:19,140 um let me turn to each of those interns 5051 03:37:24,229 --> 03:37:21,540 so in terms of promoting a rigorous uh 5052 03:37:27,290 --> 03:37:24,239 scientific inquiry the primary way we're 5053 03:37:29,809 --> 03:37:27,300 doing this is by being truly rigorous 5054 03:37:32,710 --> 03:37:29,819 and employing an evidence-based 5055 03:37:36,410 --> 03:37:32,720 methodology in everything that we do 5056 03:37:39,410 --> 03:37:36,420 that is characteristic of scientific 5057 03:37:41,809 --> 03:37:39,420 research it's no accident that the 5058 03:37:43,729 --> 03:37:41,819 people up on this stage are true experts 5059 03:37:46,969 --> 03:37:43,739 in their reflect as respective Fields 5060 03:37:50,570 --> 03:37:46,979 okay so that is in turn going to help us 5061 03:37:52,490 --> 03:37:50,580 to legitimize UAP studies encouraging 5062 03:37:55,610 --> 03:37:52,500 open dialogue so by holding public 5063 03:37:59,090 --> 03:37:55,620 meetings such as this one and having 5064 03:38:00,950 --> 03:37:59,100 open conversations about findings then 5065 03:38:03,530 --> 03:38:00,960 we're helping to normalize discussions 5066 03:38:06,769 --> 03:38:03,540 again and that that really goes arm and 5067 03:38:08,450 --> 03:38:06,779 arm with our commitment to openness and 5068 03:38:10,490 --> 03:38:08,460 transparency with the public and then 5069 03:38:12,050 --> 03:38:10,500 finally in terms of collaborating across 5070 03:38:14,030 --> 03:38:12,060 the government we're working very 5071 03:38:16,910 --> 03:38:14,040 closely with other government agencies 5072 03:38:18,769 --> 03:38:16,920 not least Sean's office Aero uh to 5073 03:38:21,769 --> 03:38:18,779 broaden the scope and the depth of our 5074 03:38:24,110 --> 03:38:21,779 study and I honestly believe that this 5075 03:38:27,349 --> 03:38:24,120 Collective interagency approach will 5076 03:38:29,150 --> 03:38:27,359 lend credibility to the study of uaps 5077 03:38:30,830 --> 03:38:29,160 and it's going to demonstrate the 5078 03:38:34,670 --> 03:38:30,840 seriousness with which we're approaching 5079 03:38:36,410 --> 03:38:34,680 this issue thanks well that uh segues 5080 03:38:38,990 --> 03:38:36,420 very nicely into what our next set of 5081 03:38:41,690 --> 03:38:39,000 questions are which is uh who we are 5082 03:38:43,849 --> 03:38:41,700 working with so the question is who else 5083 03:38:46,550 --> 03:38:43,859 is NASA currently working with or do we 5084 03:38:56,510 --> 03:38:46,560 want to work with to study UAP and is 5085 03:38:59,929 --> 03:38:58,370 I'll take a stab at it okay 5086 03:39:03,650 --> 03:38:59,939 um as 5087 03:39:07,070 --> 03:39:03,660 the questions tasked to this panel so 5088 03:39:10,490 --> 03:39:07,080 kindly asked us both in what other 5089 03:39:12,349 --> 03:39:10,500 government agencies are collecting data 5090 03:39:13,910 --> 03:39:12,359 what data is available NASA is 5091 03:39:16,670 --> 03:39:13,920 partnering with them 5092 03:39:20,710 --> 03:39:16,680 um in in many ways as well as National 5093 03:39:23,389 --> 03:39:20,720 NASA has a wide commercial Outreach 5094 03:39:24,729 --> 03:39:23,399 and Partnerships with understanding what 5095 03:39:28,729 --> 03:39:24,739 data is available 5096 03:39:30,469 --> 03:39:28,739 as well as NASA's founded on well not 5097 03:39:33,110 --> 03:39:30,479 founded but it the 5098 03:39:35,150 --> 03:39:33,120 core principles of of NASA are with 5099 03:39:37,250 --> 03:39:35,160 International partners and so the 5100 03:39:39,410 --> 03:39:37,260 information that our partners are 5101 03:39:42,410 --> 03:39:39,420 gathering is is typically available to 5102 03:39:44,929 --> 03:39:42,420 NASA as well it's all good yes on all 5103 03:39:47,809 --> 03:39:44,939 accounts and I may just emphasize and 5104 03:39:49,309 --> 03:39:47,819 add that NASA is singular I believe 5105 03:39:51,469 --> 03:39:49,319 among government agencies and it's 5106 03:39:52,910 --> 03:39:51,479 International Outreach again not to keep 5107 03:39:54,950 --> 03:39:52,920 talking about the Artemis Accords but 5108 03:39:56,269 --> 03:39:54,960 you see countries like Saudi Arabia that 5109 03:39:58,370 --> 03:39:56,279 we may not have a great relationship 5110 03:40:00,410 --> 03:39:58,380 with as Government right now we have 5111 03:40:02,510 --> 03:40:00,420 Saudi Arabia and Israel in the Accords 5112 03:40:05,150 --> 03:40:02,520 family so that NASA is unique in its 5113 03:40:07,729 --> 03:40:05,160 scope and ability to reach out I also 5114 03:40:10,610 --> 03:40:07,739 think that we're entering a new era of 5115 03:40:12,769 --> 03:40:10,620 commercial space transportation that is 5116 03:40:14,929 --> 03:40:12,779 going from low earth orbit out to Sis 5117 03:40:16,130 --> 03:40:14,939 lunar's space and that is going to be 5118 03:40:17,929 --> 03:40:16,140 the purview of the Department of 5119 03:40:20,450 --> 03:40:17,939 Commerce which is taking over Space 5120 03:40:23,030 --> 03:40:20,460 Traffic management so I think it's very 5121 03:40:24,769 --> 03:40:23,040 important that NASA work with and 5122 03:40:26,330 --> 03:40:24,779 support Commerce as we go through that 5123 03:40:28,550 --> 03:40:26,340 transition Department of Defense is 5124 03:40:29,929 --> 03:40:28,560 currently responsible for that and I 5125 03:40:32,929 --> 03:40:29,939 think that will help us not only to 5126 03:40:35,210 --> 03:40:32,939 identify potential uaps but to assist in 5127 03:40:37,729 --> 03:40:35,220 preventing contention congestion and 5128 03:40:40,910 --> 03:40:37,739 eventually conflict and I also want to 5129 03:40:42,769 --> 03:40:40,920 note in terms of space debris debris and 5130 03:40:45,469 --> 03:40:42,779 orbit right now I believe represents an 5131 03:40:46,910 --> 03:40:45,479 existential threat to our very society 5132 03:40:49,250 --> 03:40:46,920 that we are getting very close to an 5133 03:40:51,110 --> 03:40:49,260 event that could cause real problems for 5134 03:40:51,830 --> 03:40:51,120 our ability to access satellites and 5135 03:40:53,450 --> 03:40:51,840 that's why I think there's great 5136 03:40:54,830 --> 03:40:53,460 ancillary benefits to the conversation 5137 03:40:58,010 --> 03:40:54,840 we're having today that as we increase 5138 03:40:59,990 --> 03:40:58,020 our capability to monitor orbit for uaps 5139 03:41:02,150 --> 03:41:00,000 that data could also be very relevant as 5140 03:41:04,309 --> 03:41:02,160 we look at nearest objects and other 5141 03:41:06,349 --> 03:41:04,319 threats and again to just end on the 5142 03:41:08,990 --> 03:41:06,359 Earth objects apothes for example an 5143 03:41:11,450 --> 03:41:09,000 asteroid is going to come so close to 5144 03:41:13,670 --> 03:41:11,460 Earth it will be below geosynchronous 5145 03:41:15,410 --> 03:41:13,680 satellites so any effort to begin to 5146 03:41:16,610 --> 03:41:15,420 catalog and do better in terms of 5147 03:41:17,990 --> 03:41:16,620 understanding that environment is going 5148 03:41:19,910 --> 03:41:18,000 to be terrific and I hope NASA works 5149 03:41:22,969 --> 03:41:19,920 with Commerce and international agencies 5150 03:41:24,950 --> 03:41:22,979 on Apophis and other missions 5151 03:41:27,410 --> 03:41:24,960 I think Federica had something to say 5152 03:41:28,610 --> 03:41:27,420 yeah I just wanted to add that um you 5153 03:41:30,830 --> 03:41:28,620 know a lot of the things that we think 5154 03:41:33,349 --> 03:41:30,840 we might recommend in terms of platforms 5155 03:41:35,570 --> 03:41:33,359 to collect data that would be useful to 5156 03:41:37,550 --> 03:41:35,580 study uaps you know we recommend the 5157 03:41:40,130 --> 03:41:37,560 multi-platform and multi-site that would 5158 03:41:42,469 --> 03:41:40,140 also mean likely ground-based as well as 5159 03:41:44,510 --> 03:41:42,479 space-based facilities 5160 03:41:47,690 --> 03:41:44,520 um and this is being done already in 5161 03:41:49,250 --> 03:41:47,700 astrophysics codes Irving the sky from 5162 03:41:51,830 --> 03:41:49,260 the ground and from space with different 5163 03:41:54,349 --> 03:41:51,840 methodologies and different uh different 5164 03:41:56,750 --> 03:41:54,359 instruments to get a more comprehensive 5165 03:41:59,690 --> 03:41:56,760 picture of what's normal and then did 5166 03:42:01,550 --> 03:41:59,700 that what's phenomenal and um about 5167 03:42:03,229 --> 03:42:01,560 every 10 years the scientific the 5168 03:42:05,510 --> 03:42:03,239 astrophysics Community anyways but many 5169 03:42:07,429 --> 03:42:05,520 other branches convene a panel of 5170 03:42:09,410 --> 03:42:07,439 experts to see what things can be done 5171 03:42:11,990 --> 03:42:09,420 to advance 5172 03:42:14,269 --> 03:42:12,000 um the the field in the next decade it's 5173 03:42:16,130 --> 03:42:14,279 called the decada survey for us and one 5174 03:42:18,110 --> 03:42:16,140 of the recommendations this year was 5175 03:42:21,650 --> 03:42:18,120 explicitly for agencies that do 5176 03:42:24,710 --> 03:42:21,660 astrophysics to work together so NSF doe 5177 03:42:26,330 --> 03:42:24,720 and NASA to work together share data 5178 03:42:27,650 --> 03:42:26,340 share facilities and instruments so I 5179 03:42:31,550 --> 03:42:27,660 think this is 5180 03:42:33,590 --> 03:42:31,560 um you know there's a lot of fields will 5181 03:42:35,210 --> 03:42:33,600 benefit from this including the UAP 5182 03:42:36,670 --> 03:42:35,220 studies 5183 03:42:40,130 --> 03:42:36,680 oh 5184 03:42:42,590 --> 03:42:40,140 absolutely Carl and toenar I I'd like to 5185 03:42:44,809 --> 03:42:42,600 put an exclamation point on how well 5186 03:42:47,330 --> 03:42:44,819 NASA is collaborating across the 5187 03:42:49,610 --> 03:42:47,340 government I can I'm from the FAA and I 5188 03:42:52,969 --> 03:42:49,620 can personally attest that you know FAA 5189 03:42:54,710 --> 03:42:52,979 and NASA have a robust uh engagement in 5190 03:42:58,370 --> 03:42:54,720 transferring research 5191 03:42:59,990 --> 03:42:58,380 um into practice in the ATM system I 5192 03:43:02,750 --> 03:43:00,000 think on the commercial space side we 5193 03:43:04,910 --> 03:43:02,760 work well with NASA and and all of our 5194 03:43:07,729 --> 03:43:04,920 agencies are in the whole of government 5195 03:43:11,150 --> 03:43:07,739 approach supporting Arrow specifically 5196 03:43:13,309 --> 03:43:11,160 on the uip topic and and you know it 5197 03:43:15,469 --> 03:43:13,319 really comes down to good government and 5198 03:43:18,229 --> 03:43:15,479 how we deliver because we can each work 5199 03:43:19,610 --> 03:43:18,239 our own mission space but to cover the 5200 03:43:21,229 --> 03:43:19,620 whole Space we need to collaborate 5201 03:43:23,809 --> 03:43:21,239 together 5202 03:43:27,229 --> 03:43:23,819 and Dan do you put an exclamation point 5203 03:43:29,269 --> 03:43:27,239 on Carlin's exclamation point uh 5204 03:43:30,889 --> 03:43:29,279 so I think it's important to say that 5205 03:43:32,929 --> 03:43:30,899 you know we really do have a good 5206 03:43:36,229 --> 03:43:32,939 relationship with the auto main anomaly 5207 03:43:38,630 --> 03:43:36,239 resolution office error Sean's office 5208 03:43:41,750 --> 03:43:38,640 um and it's previous or predecessor 5209 03:43:44,269 --> 03:43:41,760 organization the UAP task force and we 5210 03:43:46,849 --> 03:43:44,279 have really benefited from very fruitful 5211 03:43:49,729 --> 03:43:46,859 collaborations among those various 5212 03:43:51,349 --> 03:43:49,739 entities and quite frankly as as a 5213 03:43:52,929 --> 03:43:51,359 taxpayer one should expect nothing less 5214 03:43:55,250 --> 03:43:52,939 than the government to be working 5215 03:43:57,650 --> 03:43:55,260 effectively across different units 5216 03:43:58,610 --> 03:43:57,660 together it's only right 5217 03:44:01,550 --> 03:43:58,620 um 5218 03:44:04,309 --> 03:44:01,560 that being said it's also important to 5219 03:44:07,550 --> 03:44:04,319 acknowledge what NASA's perspective is 5220 03:44:09,050 --> 03:44:07,560 in this study and to acknowledge that 5221 03:44:10,729 --> 03:44:09,060 you know the the Department of Defense 5222 03:44:13,550 --> 03:44:10,739 the intelligence Community have have 5223 03:44:16,130 --> 03:44:13,560 massively different equities about the 5224 03:44:18,050 --> 03:44:16,140 study of UAP and they have different 5225 03:44:19,790 --> 03:44:18,060 interests ours is a purely scientific 5226 03:44:22,010 --> 03:44:19,800 one so you know we collaborate we 5227 03:44:24,889 --> 03:44:22,020 consult it's a very good relationship 5228 03:44:27,050 --> 03:44:24,899 and I agree wholeheartedly with Carolyn 5229 03:44:29,690 --> 03:44:27,060 that a whole of government approach is 5230 03:44:32,750 --> 03:44:29,700 absolutely the right one to take 5231 03:44:35,870 --> 03:44:32,760 great thank you I will move on to our 5232 03:44:38,690 --> 03:44:35,880 sixth bucket of questions uh which we 5233 03:44:41,570 --> 03:44:38,700 had many on this topic is there evidence 5234 03:44:45,469 --> 03:44:41,580 that UAP were created from non-human 5235 03:44:49,250 --> 03:44:46,969 yes please 5236 03:44:51,590 --> 03:44:49,260 I would take this one 5237 03:44:55,490 --> 03:44:51,600 um first and foremost We Are Scientists 5238 03:44:58,490 --> 03:44:55,500 and we follow the scientific process and 5239 03:45:01,490 --> 03:44:58,500 um I hope that the Gathering here today 5240 03:45:04,670 --> 03:45:01,500 uh showed a little bit of a glimpse on 5241 03:45:06,650 --> 03:45:04,680 how the scientific process works 5242 03:45:10,309 --> 03:45:06,660 um it's not the question that you can 5243 03:45:13,849 --> 03:45:10,319 answer very quickly with yes or no 5244 03:45:16,370 --> 03:45:13,859 um and uh we follow the data right so 5245 03:45:19,370 --> 03:45:16,380 um as scientists we follow the data we 5246 03:45:21,950 --> 03:45:19,380 formulate hypotheses we test theories we 5247 03:45:24,469 --> 03:45:21,960 follow the scientific process the role 5248 03:45:28,309 --> 03:45:24,479 of this panel has been to create a road 5249 03:45:30,530 --> 03:45:28,319 map and a framework for how all 5250 03:45:33,590 --> 03:45:30,540 scientists that are interested in this 5251 03:45:36,010 --> 03:45:33,600 phenomenon uh can further study can 5252 03:45:38,630 --> 03:45:36,020 further collect data can further 5253 03:45:41,450 --> 03:45:38,640 formulate experiments or again 5254 03:45:43,910 --> 03:45:41,460 hypotheses can test different methods 5255 03:45:47,030 --> 03:45:43,920 maybe even innovate on the methodology 5256 03:45:50,090 --> 03:45:47,040 side of things come up with new methods 5257 03:45:51,950 --> 03:45:50,100 for how we can do basically science but 5258 03:45:53,889 --> 03:45:51,960 not just any kind of science but the 5259 03:45:58,450 --> 03:45:53,899 science of Discovery and exploration 5260 03:46:01,610 --> 03:45:58,460 which is basically in the spirit of NASA 5261 03:46:03,710 --> 03:46:01,620 so just like Carl Sagan I was saying 5262 03:46:05,769 --> 03:46:03,720 extraordinary claims require 5263 03:46:08,450 --> 03:46:05,779 extraordinary evidence 5264 03:46:12,410 --> 03:46:08,460 we cannot make that kind of 5265 03:46:14,510 --> 03:46:12,420 extraordinary claims at all for any kind 5266 03:46:17,450 --> 03:46:14,520 of big subject in science whether it's 5267 03:46:20,510 --> 03:46:17,460 uaps whether it's biosignatures whether 5268 03:46:22,550 --> 03:46:20,520 it's techno signatures this question of 5269 03:46:24,229 --> 03:46:22,560 whether we are alone in the universe is 5270 03:46:27,410 --> 03:46:24,239 probably one of the largest questions 5271 03:46:30,170 --> 03:46:27,420 that we've had in our history of Science 5272 03:46:32,809 --> 03:46:30,180 in our history of humanity and it's not 5273 03:46:35,590 --> 03:46:32,819 one that we can take lightly and that's 5274 03:46:37,790 --> 03:46:35,600 why we need so many scientists and 5275 03:46:40,370 --> 03:46:37,800 multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary 5276 03:46:41,830 --> 03:46:40,380 teams to work together and many 5277 03:46:46,070 --> 03:46:41,840 organizations 5278 03:46:49,309 --> 03:46:46,080 so it's a process it's a roadmap and we 5279 03:46:51,889 --> 03:46:49,319 work collectively on this and we hope 5280 03:46:53,929 --> 03:46:51,899 that within our lifetime we will be able 5281 03:46:56,570 --> 03:46:53,939 to answer this big question of whether 5282 03:46:58,790 --> 03:46:56,580 we are alone or not and also to better 5283 03:47:01,130 --> 03:46:58,800 characterize this phenomenon which is 5284 03:47:03,229 --> 03:47:01,140 uaps 5285 03:47:05,510 --> 03:47:03,239 I want to sort of supplement that 5286 03:47:07,610 --> 03:47:05,520 excellent answer by noting that we have 5287 03:47:10,670 --> 03:47:07,620 not seen the extraordinary evidence 5288 03:47:13,490 --> 03:47:10,680 right that I mean in a sense to give you 5289 03:47:16,910 --> 03:47:13,500 know to make the claim that we see 5290 03:47:20,150 --> 03:47:16,920 something that is evidence of 5291 03:47:21,830 --> 03:47:20,160 you know uh non-human intelligence would 5292 03:47:23,030 --> 03:47:21,840 be or would require extraordinary 5293 03:47:25,550 --> 03:47:23,040 evidence 5294 03:47:28,969 --> 03:47:25,560 and we have not seen that I think that's 5295 03:47:34,490 --> 03:47:32,269 all right then I will move on to our 5296 03:47:36,950 --> 03:47:34,500 seventh set of questions we received 5297 03:47:40,910 --> 03:47:36,960 many questions about the budget that is 5298 03:47:43,309 --> 03:47:40,920 being uh dedicated to this uh how large 5299 03:47:45,290 --> 03:47:43,319 of a budget will NASA allocate how large 5300 03:47:47,450 --> 03:47:45,300 of a budget is NASA allocating and how 5301 03:47:50,210 --> 03:47:47,460 large of a budget will NASA allocate 5302 03:47:52,910 --> 03:47:50,220 towards this the study of UAP it's Dan 5303 03:47:54,650 --> 03:47:52,920 yeah that's a damn question so there are 5304 03:47:57,110 --> 03:47:54,660 two separate questions in there which is 5305 03:47:57,830 --> 03:47:57,120 what is the budget for this group this 5306 03:48:00,950 --> 03:47:57,840 team 5307 03:48:02,990 --> 03:48:00,960 and what is the budget going forward I 5308 03:48:04,729 --> 03:48:03,000 think now the budget for this 5309 03:48:07,429 --> 03:48:04,739 independent study team is is very 5310 03:48:09,229 --> 03:48:07,439 consistent with any other of our 5311 03:48:11,030 --> 03:48:09,239 external review groups that we bring 5312 03:48:12,349 --> 03:48:11,040 into the science Mission director on an 5313 03:48:15,830 --> 03:48:12,359 annual basis so you know we have maybe 5314 03:48:17,090 --> 03:48:15,840 100 200 such groups entirely consistent 5315 03:48:19,070 --> 03:48:17,100 with that 5316 03:48:21,650 --> 03:48:19,080 also important to say going forward now 5317 03:48:24,050 --> 03:48:21,660 that NASA has not established a program 5318 03:48:25,910 --> 03:48:24,060 relative to UAP 5319 03:48:28,250 --> 03:48:25,920 and as a result there's no Associated 5320 03:48:30,590 --> 03:48:28,260 programmatic funding but this is how 5321 03:48:34,790 --> 03:48:30,600 NASA Works Federal budgeting is is a 5322 03:48:37,250 --> 03:48:34,800 complex uh journey of course and the way 5323 03:48:39,229 --> 03:48:37,260 NASA particularly NASA science likes to 5324 03:48:42,170 --> 03:48:39,239 work is we anticipate and weight 5325 03:48:44,690 --> 03:48:42,180 recommendations from independent groups 5326 03:48:46,670 --> 03:48:44,700 such as this one and we need to wait on 5327 03:48:48,769 --> 03:48:46,680 Final recommendations and and then we'll 5328 03:48:51,050 --> 03:48:48,779 make an assessment so too early to say 5329 03:48:53,150 --> 03:48:51,060 but of course that's all couched in the 5330 03:48:54,469 --> 03:48:53,160 fact that Federal budgeting is a very 5331 03:48:57,229 --> 03:48:54,479 complex process and we will always 5332 03:49:03,110 --> 03:49:00,950 all right we're making good time we have 5333 03:49:06,010 --> 03:49:03,120 uh one more question that that 5334 03:49:09,950 --> 03:49:06,020 accomplished many of the ones we got 5335 03:49:12,590 --> 03:49:09,960 which is has NASA encountered any aliens 5336 03:49:14,510 --> 03:49:12,600 or extraterrestrial life what happens if 5337 03:49:18,469 --> 03:49:14,520 the public comes across extraterrestrial 5338 03:49:20,389 --> 03:49:18,479 life what would NASA do if extra 5339 03:49:21,889 --> 03:49:20,399 terrestrial life was discovered what 5340 03:49:23,510 --> 03:49:21,899 would NASA study or do if 5341 03:49:24,590 --> 03:49:23,520 extraterrestrial night was discovered 5342 03:49:26,330 --> 03:49:24,600 now 5343 03:49:28,370 --> 03:49:26,340 I think it's worth making a distinction 5344 03:49:30,469 --> 03:49:28,380 that they're when we talk about 5345 03:49:32,570 --> 03:49:30,479 extraterrestrial life we do have a study 5346 03:49:34,729 --> 03:49:32,580 within NASA of astrobiology which is not 5347 03:49:36,050 --> 03:49:34,739 intelligent life necessarily and so I 5348 03:49:37,190 --> 03:49:36,060 invite you as you answer this question 5349 03:49:39,710 --> 03:49:37,200 to 5350 03:49:41,090 --> 03:49:39,720 who may clear the distinctions as you 5351 03:49:43,330 --> 03:49:41,100 are talking 5352 03:49:47,630 --> 03:49:43,340 um uh in terms of 5353 03:49:48,889 --> 03:49:47,640 uaps as well as any astrobiology work 5354 03:49:51,290 --> 03:49:48,899 that we do 5355 03:49:55,370 --> 03:49:51,300 I would start by saying one of NASA's 5356 03:49:59,990 --> 03:49:55,380 big questions is is there life out there 5357 03:50:02,269 --> 03:50:00,000 right and a lot of what NASA is doing 5358 03:50:05,929 --> 03:50:02,279 in its exploration of the solar system 5359 03:50:07,670 --> 03:50:05,939 and beyond is focused on 5360 03:50:09,530 --> 03:50:07,680 searching for life in any form 5361 03:50:11,870 --> 03:50:09,540 extraterrestrial life 5362 03:50:15,290 --> 03:50:11,880 I think one of the things we have 5363 03:50:16,849 --> 03:50:15,300 learned in the past 20 years is planets 5364 03:50:19,250 --> 03:50:16,859 are common we knew of course about the 5365 03:50:21,650 --> 03:50:19,260 planets in our solar system but we now 5366 03:50:24,290 --> 03:50:21,660 know there are lots of planets out there 5367 03:50:25,969 --> 03:50:24,300 so there are lots of potential 5368 03:50:29,210 --> 03:50:25,979 environments for life 5369 03:50:30,950 --> 03:50:29,220 and I think one of the most fascinating 5370 03:50:33,710 --> 03:50:30,960 questions is 5371 03:50:36,650 --> 03:50:33,720 do any of those planets host life 5372 03:50:39,229 --> 03:50:36,660 and that's uh something that NASA is 5373 03:50:40,250 --> 03:50:39,239 trying to address in a host of different 5374 03:50:44,570 --> 03:50:40,260 ways 5375 03:50:47,450 --> 03:50:44,580 whether it's probes that are landing on 5376 03:50:49,550 --> 03:50:47,460 planets or designing missions that will 5377 03:50:50,990 --> 03:50:49,560 look for signatures of life around other 5378 03:50:53,450 --> 03:50:51,000 planets so 5379 03:50:55,010 --> 03:50:53,460 the search for life is a really 5380 03:50:57,229 --> 03:50:55,020 important theme 5381 03:50:59,570 --> 03:50:57,239 we haven't found life beyond Earth yet 5382 03:51:01,309 --> 03:50:59,580 right I mean let's be clear about this 5383 03:51:02,929 --> 03:51:01,319 we haven't found it yet 5384 03:51:04,849 --> 03:51:02,939 but we're looking 5385 03:51:07,309 --> 03:51:04,859 and we're looking for it in lots of 5386 03:51:10,250 --> 03:51:07,319 different ways and you know 5387 03:51:13,250 --> 03:51:10,260 David was discussing techno signatures 5388 03:51:15,469 --> 03:51:13,260 as one way that we can work both within 5389 03:51:17,330 --> 03:51:15,479 our solar system and beyond and there's 5390 03:51:19,969 --> 03:51:17,340 so there's a lot a lot of different 5391 03:51:21,010 --> 03:51:19,979 elements I think of this potential 5392 03:51:22,849 --> 03:51:21,020 search 5393 03:51:26,030 --> 03:51:22,859 and 5394 03:51:28,130 --> 03:51:26,040 um you know just to go back to 5395 03:51:30,349 --> 03:51:28,140 something sort of those phrase in an 5396 03:51:32,150 --> 03:51:30,359 earlier question you know isn't NASA 5397 03:51:34,849 --> 03:51:32,160 hiding anything about this 5398 03:51:36,950 --> 03:51:34,859 no this is actually what you know 5399 03:51:39,290 --> 03:51:36,960 answering this question is one of the 5400 03:51:41,570 --> 03:51:39,300 things that NASA is an agency is is 5401 03:51:45,110 --> 03:51:41,580 excited about it's what's something that 5402 03:51:48,349 --> 03:51:45,120 lots of scientists working with NASA are 5403 03:51:51,889 --> 03:51:48,359 excited about is is this question of uh 5404 03:51:54,050 --> 03:51:51,899 is there life out there you know and I 5405 03:51:57,110 --> 03:51:54,060 think one of the things that 5406 03:51:58,910 --> 03:51:57,120 makes this question of are we alone such 5407 03:52:01,309 --> 03:51:58,920 a central question 5408 03:52:04,490 --> 03:52:01,319 not just the scientific Community it's a 5409 03:52:06,229 --> 03:52:04,500 central question I think for the public 5410 03:52:08,510 --> 03:52:06,239 um I suspect there are more people 5411 03:52:12,050 --> 03:52:08,520 watching this than the typical episode 5412 03:52:15,229 --> 03:52:12,060 of NASA TV right and this is something 5413 03:52:17,690 --> 03:52:15,239 where we will have me you know media 5414 03:52:19,969 --> 03:52:17,700 coming to the press conference 5415 03:52:22,910 --> 03:52:19,979 because these questions touch on 5416 03:52:25,550 --> 03:52:22,920 something that I think is really a deep 5417 03:52:33,290 --> 03:52:25,560 question for Humanity 5418 03:52:39,050 --> 03:52:36,830 yeah just a kind of echo what David said 5419 03:52:41,570 --> 03:52:39,060 a bit I mean obviously this is something 5420 03:52:43,969 --> 03:52:41,580 uh we think a lot about in astrobiology 5421 03:52:47,630 --> 03:52:43,979 what you know what if we succeed 5422 03:52:50,269 --> 03:52:47,640 um and uh you know we are very driven uh 5423 03:52:52,969 --> 03:52:50,279 to try to find uh real evidence of 5424 03:52:55,610 --> 03:52:52,979 extraterrestrial life and 5425 03:52:57,889 --> 03:52:55,620 um we would be highly driven to share 5426 03:52:59,750 --> 03:52:57,899 that if we found it 5427 03:53:01,610 --> 03:52:59,760 um because everyone wants to show that 5428 03:53:03,250 --> 03:53:01,620 they've been able to succeed in what 5429 03:53:06,349 --> 03:53:03,260 they're trying to do and and you know 5430 03:53:08,750 --> 03:53:06,359 one perhaps illustrative example is to 5431 03:53:10,670 --> 03:53:08,760 think about what happened when we came 5432 03:53:13,790 --> 03:53:10,680 close when NASA thought maybe they had 5433 03:53:15,590 --> 03:53:13,800 discovered extraterrestrial life and and 5434 03:53:19,010 --> 03:53:15,600 um a big event actually in the history 5435 03:53:20,990 --> 03:53:19,020 of astrobiology was in in the 1990s when 5436 03:53:22,790 --> 03:53:21,000 some scientists had thought that they 5437 03:53:25,250 --> 03:53:22,800 had discovered fossils in a meteorite 5438 03:53:26,750 --> 03:53:25,260 that came from Mars 5439 03:53:29,389 --> 03:53:26,760 um and 5440 03:53:30,950 --> 03:53:29,399 what happens is you don't announce it 5441 03:53:32,030 --> 03:53:30,960 immediately you make sure that you try 5442 03:53:33,170 --> 03:53:32,040 to make sure you're right because you 5443 03:53:34,670 --> 03:53:33,180 don't also don't want to have false 5444 03:53:36,110 --> 03:53:34,680 alarms and announce something where and 5445 03:53:38,210 --> 03:53:36,120 then you go oops sorry we were wrong 5446 03:53:40,849 --> 03:53:38,220 that was a mistaken analysis but what 5447 03:53:43,130 --> 03:53:40,859 happened was when the when 5448 03:53:44,450 --> 03:53:43,140 the scientists were sure they were right 5449 03:53:46,309 --> 03:53:44,460 then 5450 03:53:48,050 --> 03:53:46,319 um there was a big 5451 03:53:50,150 --> 03:53:48,060 um in fact presidential press conference 5452 03:53:53,030 --> 03:53:50,160 with President Clinton and NASA and it 5453 03:53:54,889 --> 03:53:53,040 was a big Public Announcement and 5454 03:53:56,750 --> 03:53:54,899 um that's what would happen if we 5455 03:53:58,790 --> 03:53:56,760 discovered something we would try to 5456 03:54:01,429 --> 03:53:58,800 make sure we were right and then we 5457 03:54:02,690 --> 03:54:01,439 would very proudly and loudly let the 5458 03:54:04,309 --> 03:54:02,700 public know about it 5459 03:54:06,650 --> 03:54:04,319 thanks we've just one minute left so 5460 03:54:08,330 --> 03:54:06,660 I'll let you finish up yeah thank you um 5461 03:54:11,750 --> 03:54:08,340 the only thing I wanted to add I 5462 03:54:13,910 --> 03:54:11,760 wouldn't at all liken it to um alien or 5463 03:54:16,429 --> 03:54:13,920 extraterrestrial life but in 5464 03:54:19,010 --> 03:54:16,439 astrobiology and exobiology you know 5465 03:54:22,130 --> 03:54:19,020 there is the exploration of our planet 5466 03:54:24,050 --> 03:54:22,140 as an analog for what might be found 5467 03:54:25,969 --> 03:54:24,060 on other worlds 5468 03:54:28,250 --> 03:54:25,979 um you know and what what is extreme 5469 03:54:30,530 --> 03:54:28,260 cold what is extreme heat 5470 03:54:32,330 --> 03:54:30,540 um a volcano A black smoker at the 5471 03:54:34,309 --> 03:54:32,340 bottom of the ocean what lives there and 5472 03:54:36,410 --> 03:54:34,319 how's that even possible and things we 5473 03:54:38,689 --> 03:54:36,420 still discover throughout our ocean 5474 03:54:40,010 --> 03:54:38,699 might look alien to a lot of people 5475 03:54:42,530 --> 03:54:40,020 right 5476 03:54:44,570 --> 03:54:42,540 um and we keep discovering new species 5477 03:54:47,510 --> 03:54:44,580 of different things whether they be 5478 03:54:50,929 --> 03:54:47,520 microbes or algae or you know 5479 03:54:53,630 --> 03:54:50,939 charismatic Mega fauna whatever they are 5480 03:54:55,849 --> 03:54:53,640 um but there are synergies I know there 5481 03:54:57,590 --> 03:54:55,859 was an initiative years ago at Nasa 5482 03:55:00,830 --> 03:54:57,600 called oceans across the solar system 5483 03:55:02,809 --> 03:55:00,840 and the idea was could our own Earth's 5484 03:55:04,490 --> 03:55:02,819 ocean be used in the life within it as 5485 03:55:06,650 --> 03:55:04,500 an analog for what might be discovered 5486 03:55:08,809 --> 03:55:06,660 elsewhere so I think that's an example 5487 03:55:10,670 --> 03:55:08,819 of a potential Synergy of 5488 03:55:13,729 --> 03:55:10,680 interdisciplinary science research 5489 03:55:15,170 --> 03:55:13,739 observations Etc collection of data and 5490 03:55:16,910 --> 03:55:15,180 information gathering that could be 5491 03:55:18,769 --> 03:55:16,920 useful in the future 5492 03:55:23,850 --> 03:55:18,779 thank you all so much I will hand it 5493 03:55:23,860 --> 03:55:29,689 [Applause] 5494 03:55:34,849 --> 03:55:32,450 so let me also just answer the one other 5495 03:55:37,130 --> 03:55:34,859 piece of that question was what do you 5496 03:55:38,570 --> 03:55:37,140 do if you see something surprising right 5497 03:55:41,210 --> 03:55:38,580 where do you report 5498 03:55:43,309 --> 03:55:41,220 and this is something where just to come 5499 03:55:47,689 --> 03:55:43,319 back to something I mentioned my opening 5500 03:55:49,490 --> 03:55:47,699 remarks the aaro is the our lead Agency 5501 03:55:51,650 --> 03:55:49,500 for uaps 5502 03:55:54,650 --> 03:55:51,660 and while we've talked about origin you 5503 03:55:57,290 --> 03:55:54,660 know life in this context 5504 03:55:59,750 --> 03:55:57,300 most uaps 5505 03:56:01,729 --> 03:55:59,760 I think when women looks at the data in 5506 03:56:03,710 --> 03:56:01,739 more detail are going to turn out to be 5507 03:56:05,929 --> 03:56:03,720 phenomenal we understand we saw this 5508 03:56:10,070 --> 03:56:05,939 with some of the balloons or or 5509 03:56:13,309 --> 03:56:10,080 commercial Jets we saw those examples 5510 03:56:16,670 --> 03:56:13,319 some uaps and we saw this with the 5511 03:56:18,889 --> 03:56:16,680 Chinese balloon that flew over is 5512 03:56:20,389 --> 03:56:18,899 something an issue sometimes of National 5513 03:56:22,429 --> 03:56:20,399 Security 5514 03:56:23,630 --> 03:56:22,439 so we actually do want to encourage 5515 03:56:25,490 --> 03:56:23,640 people 5516 03:56:27,469 --> 03:56:25,500 just from that angle 5517 03:56:29,809 --> 03:56:27,479 to report it 5518 03:56:32,870 --> 03:56:29,819 so you know uh 5519 03:56:34,790 --> 03:56:32,880 since uh to before it will transition to 5520 03:56:37,010 --> 03:56:34,800 summary that's what I answered on that 5521 03:56:38,450 --> 03:56:37,020 question that you know to keep in mind 5522 03:56:42,410 --> 03:56:38,460 that 5523 03:56:45,110 --> 03:56:42,420 um you know the aaros role is to be the 5524 03:56:46,070 --> 03:56:45,120 prime source for understanding those 5525 03:56:49,370 --> 03:56:46,080 things 5526 03:56:51,410 --> 03:56:49,380 and what our charges is to think about 5527 03:56:54,889 --> 03:56:51,420 what's NASA's role 5528 03:56:57,769 --> 03:56:54,899 and I think NASA you know and this is 5529 03:56:59,689 --> 03:56:57,779 something you know we'll con I want to 5530 03:57:02,750 --> 03:56:59,699 now go back to discussion we didn't have 5531 03:57:05,150 --> 03:57:02,760 that much time for it to to come back to 5532 03:57:07,130 --> 03:57:05,160 you know what we each you know what we 5533 03:57:08,570 --> 03:57:07,140 see as NASA's role 5534 03:57:10,309 --> 03:57:08,580 in this 5535 03:57:12,590 --> 03:57:10,319 um I think one world piece we've talked 5536 03:57:16,370 --> 03:57:12,600 about is 5537 03:57:18,950 --> 03:57:16,380 be uh NASA can help remove the stigma 5538 03:57:20,510 --> 03:57:18,960 NASA can draw more of the scientific 5539 03:57:23,750 --> 03:57:20,520 community in 5540 03:57:26,570 --> 03:57:23,760 and I think what NASA could help do is 5541 03:57:29,870 --> 03:57:26,580 provide standards of high data quality 5542 03:57:32,090 --> 03:57:29,880 I think one of the things that many of 5543 03:57:33,889 --> 03:57:32,100 us who've come you know not looked at 5544 03:57:35,150 --> 03:57:33,899 this before I'd certainly put myself in 5545 03:57:39,710 --> 03:57:35,160 this group 5546 03:57:42,530 --> 03:57:39,720 it was struck by the limited nature of 5547 03:57:44,210 --> 03:57:42,540 the data that many events had uh 5548 03:57:46,189 --> 03:57:44,220 insufficient data 5549 03:57:48,889 --> 03:57:46,199 and that in order to get a better 5550 03:57:51,170 --> 03:57:48,899 understanding we will need to have you 5551 03:57:53,150 --> 03:57:51,180 know high quality data data where we 5552 03:57:56,450 --> 03:57:53,160 understand it's provenance 5553 03:57:58,910 --> 03:57:56,460 data from multiple sensors and I think 5554 03:58:02,030 --> 03:57:58,920 one of the things that uh you know even 5555 03:58:04,370 --> 03:58:02,040 from the same sensor as we saw 5556 03:58:06,710 --> 03:58:04,380 you know in Josh's analysis you know 5557 03:58:08,990 --> 03:58:06,720 also an event trance showed us when you 5558 03:58:12,110 --> 03:58:09,000 can observe event over time 5559 03:58:14,030 --> 03:58:12,120 and get velocity information that gives 5560 03:58:15,590 --> 03:58:14,040 you a lot of additional information so 5561 03:58:17,809 --> 03:58:15,600 we're going to want things with high 5562 03:58:20,689 --> 03:58:17,819 frame rate we're going to want things 5563 03:58:23,510 --> 03:58:20,699 from multiple perspectives 5564 03:58:25,070 --> 03:58:23,520 um and uh you know so I I think those 5565 03:58:27,590 --> 03:58:25,080 are all going to be pieces of things 5566 03:58:29,450 --> 03:58:27,600 that we want to think about 5567 03:58:33,050 --> 03:58:29,460 um 5568 03:58:36,010 --> 03:58:33,060 I think this is an opportunity for 5569 03:58:39,110 --> 03:58:36,020 citizen science I think if 5570 03:58:41,269 --> 03:58:39,120 we can come up with recommendations in 5571 03:58:43,070 --> 03:58:41,279 our roadmap that point to ways in which 5572 03:58:46,070 --> 03:58:43,080 we could collect it people can collect 5573 03:58:48,410 --> 03:58:46,080 data I remain a big fan of these things 5574 03:58:50,030 --> 03:58:48,420 they do take over our lives too much but 5575 03:58:53,210 --> 03:58:50,040 they are 5576 03:58:54,650 --> 03:58:53,220 um fabulous data collectors of and I 5577 03:58:57,349 --> 03:58:54,660 don't know there's something like three 5578 03:58:59,170 --> 03:58:57,359 four billion of them that are on the 5579 03:59:02,110 --> 03:58:59,180 planet and 5580 03:59:06,349 --> 03:59:02,120 NASA I think has the 5581 03:59:08,870 --> 03:59:06,359 Prestige and visibility to develop uh an 5582 03:59:12,830 --> 03:59:08,880 app or work with companies to develop 5583 03:59:16,250 --> 03:59:12,840 apps that could collect data in a 5584 03:59:19,790 --> 03:59:16,260 uniform and centralized way 5585 03:59:22,250 --> 03:59:19,800 um that I think will you know most the 5586 03:59:27,170 --> 03:59:22,260 stuff that's collected is going to turn 5587 03:59:28,670 --> 03:59:27,180 out to be commercial planes balloons uh 5588 03:59:29,990 --> 03:59:28,680 when you have multiple cameras you can 5589 03:59:31,849 --> 03:59:30,000 eliminate some of the optical 5590 03:59:33,710 --> 03:59:31,859 limitations of ghosting and those 5591 03:59:37,150 --> 03:59:33,720 effects 5592 03:59:39,830 --> 03:59:37,160 um some of them will almost certainly be 5593 03:59:43,969 --> 03:59:39,840 novel physical phenomena 5594 03:59:45,590 --> 03:59:43,979 right I think it is uh we have learned a 5595 03:59:46,910 --> 03:59:45,600 lot about our planet and how the 5596 03:59:49,010 --> 03:59:46,920 universe works 5597 03:59:51,950 --> 03:59:49,020 there's a lot we don't know 5598 03:59:54,650 --> 03:59:51,960 right I think yeah you know as 5599 03:59:56,150 --> 03:59:54,660 as scientists what is the most exciting 5600 03:59:58,429 --> 03:59:56,160 thing 5601 04:00:02,150 --> 03:59:58,439 is the surprises 5602 04:00:04,250 --> 04:00:02,160 and I think that there are things that 5603 04:00:05,870 --> 04:00:04,260 continue to surprise us about our own 5604 04:00:08,929 --> 04:00:05,880 Planet there's phenomenon in our 5605 04:00:11,570 --> 04:00:08,939 atmosphere in the atmosphere that we 5606 04:00:13,309 --> 04:00:11,580 probably haven't seen yet or perhaps 5607 04:00:17,870 --> 04:00:13,319 we've seen and not 5608 04:00:19,670 --> 04:00:17,880 noticed yet right in this I I think uh a 5609 04:00:21,530 --> 04:00:19,680 long history in science when you look 5610 04:00:25,070 --> 04:00:21,540 back and you realize 5611 04:00:27,469 --> 04:00:25,080 that this in Discovery had a 5612 04:00:30,469 --> 04:00:27,479 pre-discovery so people had seen 5613 04:00:32,170 --> 04:00:30,479 something before and we're missing it 5614 04:00:34,969 --> 04:00:32,180 and 5615 04:00:37,370 --> 04:00:34,979 those pre-discoveries were not of note 5616 04:00:40,550 --> 04:00:37,380 because often because 5617 04:00:42,830 --> 04:00:40,560 we had biases occasions and data quality 5618 04:00:46,189 --> 04:00:42,840 and uh 5619 04:00:50,090 --> 04:00:46,199 you know one of the things I was taught 5620 04:00:52,429 --> 04:00:50,100 is uh when you have a question you don't 5621 04:00:54,170 --> 04:00:52,439 know how to answer you start by getting 5622 04:00:56,809 --> 04:00:54,180 better data 5623 04:00:59,750 --> 04:00:56,819 and uh you know I 5624 04:01:02,450 --> 04:00:59,760 uh were coming you know I get to do the 5625 04:01:06,170 --> 04:01:02,460 summary and as the chair I get to 5626 04:01:07,189 --> 04:01:06,180 you know summarize a conclusion and 5627 04:01:10,370 --> 04:01:07,199 um 5628 04:01:11,450 --> 04:01:10,380 we need better data would be my my 5629 04:01:14,330 --> 04:01:11,460 takeaway 5630 04:01:18,650 --> 04:01:14,340 and we need more uniform data 5631 04:01:21,889 --> 04:01:18,660 and since I'm so proud of my Haystack 5632 04:01:24,050 --> 04:01:21,899 we need to be able to understand what's 5633 04:01:26,689 --> 04:01:24,060 in the haystack and it's 5634 04:01:29,170 --> 04:01:26,699 a lot more complicated than a haystack 5635 04:01:32,630 --> 04:01:29,180 in a sense right as you know it's got 5636 04:01:36,410 --> 04:01:32,640 commercial planes it's got you know 5637 04:01:38,870 --> 04:01:36,420 drones and you know I think uh the 5638 04:01:40,070 --> 04:01:38,880 number of drones out there is large and 5639 04:01:42,110 --> 04:01:40,080 growing 5640 04:01:44,150 --> 04:01:42,120 and will be a continual source of 5641 04:01:44,809 --> 04:01:44,160 confusion 5642 04:01:47,330 --> 04:01:44,819 um 5643 04:01:49,790 --> 04:01:47,340 we were charged to think about air 5644 04:01:51,469 --> 04:01:49,800 safety you know understanding and 5645 04:01:53,510 --> 04:01:51,479 characterizing seeing what's going on 5646 04:01:57,170 --> 04:01:53,520 with drones is also I think going to be 5647 04:02:00,170 --> 04:01:57,180 an important air safety issue 5648 04:02:03,469 --> 04:02:00,180 um so we'll need to uh 5649 04:02:06,110 --> 04:02:03,479 you know to understand the unknown or 5650 04:02:08,469 --> 04:02:06,120 start to study the unknown another 5651 04:02:10,670 --> 04:02:08,479 important piece is always going to be 5652 04:02:12,650 --> 04:02:10,680 characterizing the known 5653 04:02:16,790 --> 04:02:12,660 really well 5654 04:02:19,849 --> 04:02:16,800 and um you know this is the part I think 5655 04:02:20,809 --> 04:02:19,859 of a lot of science that seems dry and 5656 04:02:24,590 --> 04:02:20,819 boring 5657 04:02:28,010 --> 04:02:24,600 but it's calibration and understanding 5658 04:02:31,389 --> 04:02:28,020 the events you expect to see 5659 04:02:34,550 --> 04:02:31,399 um you know in thinking about this area 5660 04:02:37,490 --> 04:02:34,560 uh one of the groups of people that 5661 04:02:39,830 --> 04:02:37,500 people talk to are particle physicists 5662 04:02:41,929 --> 04:02:39,840 doing experiments at CERN 5663 04:02:45,349 --> 04:02:41,939 where they go through the effort of 5664 04:02:46,610 --> 04:02:45,359 finding extremely rare events to find 5665 04:02:49,550 --> 04:02:46,620 new particles 5666 04:02:52,070 --> 04:02:49,560 and in order to do that you need to 5667 04:02:53,990 --> 04:02:52,080 understand the standard predictions well 5668 04:02:55,010 --> 04:02:54,000 so I think another part of the whole 5669 04:02:57,769 --> 04:02:55,020 story 5670 04:02:59,510 --> 04:02:57,779 and I know this is something Aro is 5671 04:03:01,370 --> 04:02:59,520 working hard on in the context of 5672 04:03:04,370 --> 04:03:01,380 military it's like you've got to 5673 04:03:07,570 --> 04:03:04,380 characterize what you the known Things 5674 04:03:11,570 --> 04:03:07,580 Are you know when you've got that 5675 04:03:15,050 --> 04:03:11,580 F-35 flying past a balloon what does it 5676 04:03:18,849 --> 04:03:15,060 see what does it see at Sunset what does 5677 04:03:21,110 --> 04:03:18,859 it see in odd observing angles and that 5678 04:03:24,229 --> 04:03:21,120 characterizing the normal 5679 04:03:26,750 --> 04:03:24,239 is an essential thing to do to 5680 04:03:28,429 --> 04:03:26,760 understand what's out there 5681 04:03:31,969 --> 04:03:28,439 so let me 5682 04:03:34,610 --> 04:03:31,979 conclude the session by thanking the 5683 04:03:35,870 --> 04:03:34,620 panelists it's been a pleasure learning 5684 04:03:39,710 --> 04:03:35,880 from you 5685 04:03:42,229 --> 04:03:39,720 thanking our uh Sean and and our other 5686 04:03:45,110 --> 04:03:42,239 invited speakers and our our that we've 5687 04:03:47,689 --> 04:03:45,120 had we've had for uh some of our data 5688 04:03:49,610 --> 04:03:47,699 collection sessions uh we've learned a 5689 04:03:53,030 --> 04:03:49,620 tremendous amount from you 5690 04:03:54,969 --> 04:03:53,040 and also thank the public for their 5691 04:03:57,830 --> 04:03:54,979 engagement so I think we were all 5692 04:03:59,750 --> 04:03:57,840 impressed by the the number and level 5693 04:04:01,309 --> 04:03:59,760 and sophistication of the questions 5694 04:04:04,309 --> 04:04:01,319 people sent in 5695 04:04:05,809 --> 04:04:04,319 we try to address as many as them that 5696 04:04:09,729 --> 04:04:05,819 we could in the session 5697 04:04:12,349 --> 04:04:09,739 as you've heard NASA through 5698 04:04:13,990 --> 04:04:12,359 science.nasa.gov will provide there'll 5699 04:04:16,729 --> 04:04:14,000 be some additional answers provided 5700 04:04:17,809 --> 04:04:16,739 encourage you to go there 5701 04:04:20,330 --> 04:04:17,819 ah 5702 04:04:24,469 --> 04:04:20,340 actually is a non-nasa employee I'll put 5703 04:04:27,110 --> 04:04:24,479 in a little ad for science.nasa.gov 5704 04:04:29,150 --> 04:04:27,120 NASA does amazing things 5705 04:04:30,590 --> 04:04:29,160 and we're learning amazing things about 5706 04:04:33,769 --> 04:04:30,600 the universe 5707 04:04:34,990 --> 04:04:33,779 and our planet and just encourage you to 5708 04:04:37,309 --> 04:04:35,000 go there 5709 04:04:40,250 --> 04:04:37,319 and uh 5710 04:04:52,890 --> 04:04:40,260 continue to learn and continue to 5711 04:04:52,900 --> 04:04:58,729 [Music] 5712 04:05:15,050 --> 04:05:01,880 we are going 5713 04:05:18,469 --> 04:05:16,969 just real quick two things that really 5714 04:05:20,630 --> 04:05:18,479 annoyed the heck out of me I I don't 5715 04:05:23,090 --> 04:05:20,640 know the names of the folks but the one 5716 04:05:24,110 --> 04:05:23,100 woman said 5717 04:05:27,650 --> 04:05:24,120 foreign 5718 04:05:29,030 --> 04:05:27,660 yeah thanks Xavier unmuted um two things 5719 04:05:30,710 --> 04:05:29,040 that really bothered me the one woman 5720 04:05:33,110 --> 04:05:30,720 who said basically you know life is 5721 04:05:35,330 --> 04:05:33,120 boring you know life is life isn't as 5722 04:05:37,969 --> 04:05:35,340 exciting as you think in other words you 5723 04:05:40,309 --> 04:05:37,979 know suggesting that 5724 04:05:43,490 --> 04:05:40,319 we want this to be non-human technology 5725 04:05:48,229 --> 04:05:43,500 you know we're we're so wanting to have 5726 04:05:51,170 --> 04:05:48,239 our lives it you know be more exciting 5727 04:05:53,269 --> 04:05:51,180 that you know we're turning this into a 5728 04:05:55,610 --> 04:05:53,279 non-human intelligence issue when that's 5729 04:05:56,809 --> 04:05:55,620 really not the case and that was that's 5730 04:05:59,330 --> 04:05:56,819 offensive 5731 04:06:01,969 --> 04:05:59,340 no it's something 5732 04:06:04,250 --> 04:06:01,979 that can it be explained and we listen 5733 04:06:06,290 --> 04:06:04,260 to Witnesses and it certainly appears to 5734 04:06:08,809 --> 04:06:06,300 be non-human and then the other thing 5735 04:06:11,170 --> 04:06:08,819 the other guy said that 5736 04:06:12,830 --> 04:06:11,180 um extraordinary evidence requires 5737 04:06:14,809 --> 04:06:12,840 extraordinary claims require 5738 04:06:16,969 --> 04:06:14,819 extraordinary evidence which I hear 5739 04:06:19,370 --> 04:06:16,979 we've heard that all the time it's so 5740 04:06:20,990 --> 04:06:19,380 annoying it's like no science does not 5741 04:06:22,550 --> 04:06:21,000 work like that and Gary Nolan pointed 5742 04:06:25,070 --> 04:06:22,560 this out too 5743 04:06:27,410 --> 04:06:25,080 you know an extraordinary claim it's 5744 04:06:30,050 --> 04:06:27,420 just a claim let's see the evidence and 5745 04:06:32,150 --> 04:06:30,060 we have a lot of evidence that points in 5746 04:06:35,030 --> 04:06:32,160 the direction that whatever is 5747 04:06:36,469 --> 04:06:35,040 interacting with us is non-human um we 5748 04:06:38,630 --> 04:06:36,479 don't have the proof we don't have the 5749 04:06:40,849 --> 04:06:38,640 public evidence most of it's anecdotal 5750 04:06:43,429 --> 04:06:40,859 publicly and the videos that are put out 5751 04:06:45,530 --> 04:06:43,439 publicly are not great the three videos 5752 04:06:48,050 --> 04:06:45,540 we have are okay 5753 04:06:50,689 --> 04:06:48,060 but supposedly there are amazing videos 5754 04:06:52,849 --> 04:06:50,699 out out there that will prove and the 5755 04:06:55,010 --> 04:06:52,859 government has them classified that will 5756 04:06:56,330 --> 04:06:55,020 prove that we're dealing with something 5757 04:06:58,849 --> 04:06:56,340 anomalous 5758 04:07:02,630 --> 04:06:58,859 with technology that is so far beyond 5759 04:07:03,290 --> 04:07:02,640 what we know we have publicly 5760 04:07:05,269 --> 04:07:03,300 um 5761 04:07:07,510 --> 04:07:05,279 and then the next step would be all 5762 04:07:10,309 --> 04:07:07,520 right is it non-human and that's why 5763 04:07:11,870 --> 04:07:10,319 whistleblowers if they exist as we've 5764 04:07:14,750 --> 04:07:11,880 heard and they have information about 5765 04:07:16,550 --> 04:07:14,760 crash retrievals that is so important to 5766 04:07:18,950 --> 04:07:16,560 take it to the next level who cares 5767 04:07:21,889 --> 04:07:18,960 about lights in the sky if we have craft 5768 04:07:23,269 --> 04:07:21,899 and bodies and we have we have witnesses 5769 04:07:25,490 --> 04:07:23,279 and I don't know if those Witnesses are 5770 04:07:28,010 --> 04:07:25,500 going to be saying that but if we have 5771 04:07:30,410 --> 04:07:28,020 solid evidence that there are pieces of 5772 04:07:32,750 --> 04:07:30,420 craft or full intact craft that we 5773 04:07:34,790 --> 04:07:32,760 cannot understand that's going to just 5774 04:07:37,309 --> 04:07:34,800 Propel this so much further than we are 5775 04:07:39,950 --> 04:07:37,319 now and just obliterate anything that 5776 04:07:41,570 --> 04:07:39,960 will get from sightings now the next 5777 04:07:43,250 --> 04:07:41,580 step would be okay what are they and 5778 04:07:45,229 --> 04:07:43,260 what are they here for that's a totally 5779 04:07:47,389 --> 04:07:45,239 separate issue that's going to be 5780 04:07:50,150 --> 04:07:47,399 really hard to figure out unless there's 5781 04:07:51,889 --> 04:07:50,160 data that's been collected that you know 5782 04:07:54,769 --> 04:07:51,899 they've figured out some things that are 5783 04:07:56,809 --> 04:07:54,779 going on and whether it's ET Ultra 5784 04:07:58,790 --> 04:07:56,819 terrestrial Time Travelers any of that 5785 04:08:01,250 --> 04:07:58,800 stuff we don't know you know and they 5786 04:08:03,050 --> 04:08:01,260 mentioned extraterrestrial again during 5787 04:08:04,910 --> 04:08:03,060 this hearing and I wish they would stop 5788 04:08:06,849 --> 04:08:04,920 that's what was so good about one of the 5789 04:08:09,650 --> 04:08:06,859 public questions where they said 5790 04:08:11,450 --> 04:08:09,660 non-human intelligence you know even 5791 04:08:13,849 --> 04:08:11,460 then though I would say anomalous 5792 04:08:16,070 --> 04:08:13,859 activity anomalous technology we don't 5793 04:08:18,229 --> 04:08:16,080 know it's non-human I mean if it's us 5794 04:08:20,510 --> 04:08:18,239 from the future you know portraying 5795 04:08:22,250 --> 04:08:20,520 itself as non-human it could be that I 5796 04:08:25,729 --> 04:08:22,260 don't know so anomalous for me works 5797 04:08:28,070 --> 04:08:25,739 better in unexplicable unexplainable 5798 04:08:30,050 --> 04:08:28,080 um but the next step that's why 5799 04:08:35,510 --> 04:08:30,060 I hope 5800 04:08:39,349 --> 04:08:35,520 with whistleblowers and the 2023 5801 04:08:41,510 --> 04:08:39,359 timeline which is never in my mind it's 5802 04:08:44,150 --> 04:08:41,520 never a good idea to put a date on 5803 04:08:46,370 --> 04:08:44,160 anything because you never know what's 5804 04:08:49,189 --> 04:08:46,380 going to happen stuff happens stuff 5805 04:08:53,929 --> 04:08:49,199 happens so multiple people said 2023 5806 04:08:56,330 --> 04:08:53,939 Nolan Lou John um Ramirez Ramirez said 5807 04:08:58,309 --> 04:08:56,340 Labor Day Bob McGuire said Thanksgiving 5808 04:08:59,389 --> 04:08:58,319 government officials are going to come 5809 04:09:01,610 --> 04:08:59,399 out and make an announcement about 5810 04:09:03,469 --> 04:09:01,620 non-human intelligence Richard butt 5811 04:09:06,349 --> 04:09:03,479 who's supposedly an Intel person online 5812 04:09:08,150 --> 04:09:06,359 is on his um that's not his real name he 5813 04:09:10,490 --> 04:09:08,160 said by the end of the year so many 5814 04:09:12,889 --> 04:09:10,500 different people are saying things and 5815 04:09:15,889 --> 04:09:12,899 the date I mean stuff can happen that's 5816 04:09:19,670 --> 04:09:15,899 that derails plans so I would not just 5817 04:09:22,550 --> 04:09:19,680 put my hopes on 2023 eventually it will 5818 04:09:24,469 --> 04:09:22,560 get out and hopefully I'll be alive and 5819 04:09:25,910 --> 04:09:24,479 you'll be alive and we'll get to see it 5820 04:09:28,670 --> 04:09:25,920 so 5821 04:09:30,290 --> 04:09:28,680 um I'm not having expectations I refuse 5822 04:09:32,990 --> 04:09:30,300 to have expectations 5823 04:09:35,510 --> 04:09:33,000 for 2023. I was getting a little excited 5824 04:09:37,130 --> 04:09:35,520 about the alleged Washington Post 5825 04:09:38,990 --> 04:09:37,140 article because I heard it from so many 5826 04:09:40,490 --> 04:09:39,000 people but I don't know I don't know 5827 04:09:41,870 --> 04:09:40,500 what's going on with that you know I 5828 04:09:44,750 --> 04:09:41,880 don't know 5829 04:09:47,269 --> 04:09:44,760 I've heard mixed things so make of that 5830 04:09:50,689 --> 04:09:47,279 of what you will yes it's coming no it's 5831 04:09:52,370 --> 04:09:50,699 not it's like I don't know but 100 they 5832 04:09:54,050 --> 04:09:52,380 were working on an article I don't know 5833 04:09:56,090 --> 04:09:54,060 when that started 5834 04:09:57,410 --> 04:09:56,100 but it started to come out the last few 5835 04:09:59,809 --> 04:09:57,420 weeks that they were working on that 5836 04:10:02,630 --> 04:09:59,819 real quick NASA seems to be positioned 5837 04:10:06,110 --> 04:10:02,640 him positioning themselves to be able to 5838 04:10:08,510 --> 04:10:06,120 continue the UAP discussion in a in a 5839 04:10:09,889 --> 04:10:08,520 sorry I'm tired in an official capacity 5840 04:10:12,290 --> 04:10:09,899 whatever happens regarding 5841 04:10:14,269 --> 04:10:12,300 whistleblowers NASA now has a platform 5842 04:10:15,830 --> 04:10:14,279 in which to speak about it yeah and 5843 04:10:18,110 --> 04:10:15,840 they're conservative and a lot a lot of 5844 04:10:19,969 --> 04:10:18,120 them are ignorant about what we know and 5845 04:10:21,710 --> 04:10:19,979 some of them just don't you know some of 5846 04:10:22,729 --> 04:10:21,720 them reject the evidence that we've 5847 04:10:24,349 --> 04:10:22,739 heard 5848 04:10:26,269 --> 04:10:24,359 um they're brand new to this I think 5849 04:10:28,189 --> 04:10:26,279 some of them are scared because if it's 5850 04:10:30,349 --> 04:10:28,199 true or dealing with something non-human 5851 04:10:32,090 --> 04:10:30,359 you know the unknown that's a pretty 5852 04:10:34,070 --> 04:10:32,100 scary thing for people who are brand new 5853 04:10:35,870 --> 04:10:34,080 to this subject 5854 04:10:39,530 --> 04:10:35,880 um but 5855 04:10:41,450 --> 04:10:39,540 if some of these if we do get credible 5856 04:10:44,210 --> 04:10:41,460 evidence from multiple whistleblowers 5857 04:10:47,389 --> 04:10:44,220 that makes it clear that we have craft 5858 04:10:49,130 --> 04:10:47,399 then I'm really curious if we can you 5859 04:10:50,990 --> 04:10:49,140 know touch back and 5860 04:10:52,969 --> 04:10:51,000 go back to these people on this panel 5861 04:10:55,010 --> 04:10:52,979 and other folks and say what is your 5862 04:10:58,010 --> 04:10:55,020 opinion now I'd be really curious to see 5863 04:10:59,809 --> 04:10:58,020 how they handle that kind of information 5864 04:11:02,030 --> 04:10:59,819 so 5865 04:11:03,650 --> 04:11:02,040 Xavier says I don't think that has been 5866 04:11:05,389 --> 04:11:03,660 revealed they just released that it will 5867 04:11:07,250 --> 04:11:05,399 be presented in the upcoming conference 5868 04:11:09,950 --> 04:11:07,260 that's when we will get all the data and 5869 04:11:11,929 --> 04:11:09,960 have it on it and that's in response to 5870 04:11:15,650 --> 04:11:11,939 what you said 5871 04:11:20,510 --> 04:11:18,469 yeah the SCU mile long crash video photo 5872 04:11:22,250 --> 04:11:20,520 reveal at the conference which is coming 5873 04:11:25,309 --> 04:11:22,260 up in a couple of months I was planning 5874 04:11:27,290 --> 04:11:25,319 on driving to the east coast like I did 5875 04:11:30,290 --> 04:11:27,300 I have I don't know if I've ever spoken 5876 04:11:32,269 --> 04:11:30,300 in depth and I might have to stop right 5877 04:11:34,150 --> 04:11:32,279 now because cookie is struggling with 5878 04:11:38,689 --> 04:11:34,160 something let me grab them 5879 04:11:43,010 --> 04:11:40,910 oh 5880 04:11:45,050 --> 04:11:43,020 he has breathing issues like all small 5881 04:11:48,590 --> 04:11:45,060 dogs do 5882 04:11:55,189 --> 04:11:52,250 I went to I drove to the East Coast 5883 04:11:58,010 --> 04:11:55,199 last November 5884 04:12:01,729 --> 04:11:58,020 um to Huntsville Alabama 5885 04:12:03,769 --> 04:12:01,739 I met with Eric Davis for two days we 5886 04:12:05,689 --> 04:12:03,779 had like a dinner and breakfast and then 5887 04:12:08,150 --> 04:12:05,699 I met with Jay Stratton who's the former 5888 04:12:10,250 --> 04:12:08,160 head of the UAP task force and I met 5889 04:12:14,269 --> 04:12:10,260 with his wife too 5890 04:12:18,349 --> 04:12:16,370 and I also met with Michael Vai my 5891 04:12:20,210 --> 04:12:18,359 friend who I've interviewed and went to 5892 04:12:21,349 --> 04:12:20,220 his house hung out with him for a couple 5893 04:12:22,610 --> 04:12:21,359 of days 5894 04:12:23,269 --> 04:12:22,620 so yeah 5895 04:12:24,950 --> 04:12:23,279 um 5896 04:12:26,809 --> 04:12:24,960 had really good conversations but you 5897 04:12:28,849 --> 04:12:26,819 know I can't talk about it because 5898 04:12:30,290 --> 04:12:28,859 the benefit of going in person is you 5899 04:12:32,689 --> 04:12:30,300 can talk about stuff usually you would 5900 04:12:34,670 --> 04:12:32,699 not talk about online 5901 04:12:37,309 --> 04:12:34,680 or on the phone 5902 04:12:38,570 --> 04:12:37,319 don't I don't have any information that 5903 04:12:40,250 --> 04:12:38,580 explains what we're dealing with and 5904 04:12:42,229 --> 04:12:40,260 that's really what we all care about so 5905 04:12:44,269 --> 04:12:42,239 you know I don't have any block I did 5906 04:12:46,969 --> 04:12:44,279 not learn anything Blockbuster as far as 5907 04:12:48,710 --> 04:12:46,979 what it is intense because I don't think 5908 04:12:51,110 --> 04:12:48,720 any of these guys know there may be 5909 04:12:55,550 --> 04:12:51,120 people that know but 5910 04:12:59,269 --> 04:12:58,189 I would say higher up 5911 04:13:01,070 --> 04:12:59,279 um 5912 04:13:02,990 --> 04:13:01,080 like I said 5913 04:13:04,910 --> 04:13:03,000 a few months ago I said there are people 5914 04:13:07,070 --> 04:13:04,920 I heard there are people that do want to 5915 04:13:08,570 --> 04:13:07,080 give access to these programs a crash 5916 04:13:10,550 --> 04:13:08,580 retrieval program 5917 04:13:14,150 --> 04:13:10,560 but the people who have the final say 5918 04:13:17,210 --> 04:13:14,160 are saying no so 5919 04:13:21,290 --> 04:13:17,220 I don't know I don't think anybody in 5920 04:13:23,689 --> 04:13:21,300 congress has had access maybe maybe some 5921 04:13:27,889 --> 04:13:23,699 scientists 5922 04:13:29,809 --> 04:13:27,899 been read into the programs I don't know 5923 04:13:31,490 --> 04:13:29,819 you know I speculate Eric Davis has been 5924 04:13:34,189 --> 04:13:31,500 I don't think so but it could be he 5925 04:13:35,389 --> 04:13:34,199 wouldn't tell me if he had 5926 04:13:36,830 --> 04:13:35,399 um 5927 04:13:38,450 --> 04:13:36,840 one question how can they State the 5928 04:13:40,729 --> 04:13:38,460 absolute fact that they have never cut 5929 04:13:42,650 --> 04:13:40,739 the ISS feed in order to avoid publicly 5930 04:13:44,269 --> 04:13:42,660 filming an anomalous object I mean I've 5931 04:13:46,550 --> 04:13:44,279 seen objects that looked interesting and 5932 04:13:47,950 --> 04:13:46,560 then the feed was cut 5933 04:13:49,729 --> 04:13:47,960 um they don't want to feed into anything 5934 04:13:51,290 --> 04:13:49,739 conspiratorial so they're going to say 5935 04:13:53,450 --> 04:13:51,300 that I mean I don't know they may just 5936 04:13:56,150 --> 04:13:53,460 not know those folks you know NASA isn't 5937 04:13:58,490 --> 04:13:56,160 that panel people say NASA's lying those 5938 04:13:59,870 --> 04:13:58,500 folks are all lying well that's not NASA 5939 04:14:01,189 --> 04:13:59,880 those are individual people and they 5940 04:14:04,250 --> 04:14:01,199 were some really good speakers today 5941 04:14:06,290 --> 04:14:04,260 which I need to go over again 5942 04:14:07,610 --> 04:14:06,300 um the one lady with the nose ring she 5943 04:14:09,410 --> 04:14:07,620 had some really interesting things to 5944 04:14:12,050 --> 04:14:09,420 say that was like my for me that was the 5945 04:14:14,750 --> 04:14:12,060 highlight you know Kirkpatrick was fine 5946 04:14:16,729 --> 04:14:14,760 it's that's he's conservative 5947 04:14:18,170 --> 04:14:16,739 he's going to keep to what's publicly 5948 04:14:20,150 --> 04:14:18,180 available and not discuss anything 5949 04:14:21,469 --> 04:14:20,160 classified of course 5950 04:14:22,729 --> 04:14:21,479 so 5951 04:14:26,150 --> 04:14:22,739 you know 5952 04:14:28,490 --> 04:14:26,160 yeah definitely we have seen the feed 5953 04:14:29,630 --> 04:14:28,500 cut I don't know how many times for me 5954 04:14:31,729 --> 04:14:29,640 but I've definitely seen it cut 5955 04:14:33,530 --> 04:14:31,739 afterwards that I wasn't watching it 5956 04:14:35,630 --> 04:14:33,540 live but I saw videos beforehand or 5957 04:14:37,490 --> 04:14:35,640 afterwards interesting to note that the 5958 04:14:39,110 --> 04:14:37,500 chair mentioned that NASA also had a 5959 04:14:40,429 --> 04:14:39,120 good working relationship with the UAP 5960 04:14:43,370 --> 04:14:40,439 task force 5961 04:14:45,110 --> 04:14:43,380 so presumably Travis Taylor and Stratton 5962 04:14:46,849 --> 04:14:45,120 would would be interesting to know what 5963 04:14:47,809 --> 04:14:46,859 those discussions entailed yeah it would 5964 04:14:50,450 --> 04:14:47,819 be 5965 04:14:52,610 --> 04:14:50,460 um and I think June 6th is the episode 5966 04:14:57,469 --> 04:14:52,620 of 5967 04:14:59,210 --> 04:14:57,479 Travis uh Jay Stratton is going to be on 5968 04:15:01,010 --> 04:14:59,220 which I'm looking forward to that I knew 5969 04:15:02,510 --> 04:15:01,020 about that I knew he was going to be in 5970 04:15:03,889 --> 04:15:02,520 a few episodes when I met with him I 5971 04:15:06,229 --> 04:15:03,899 couldn't talk about it yet 5972 04:15:09,290 --> 04:15:06,239 History Channel had their great reveal 5973 04:15:12,650 --> 04:15:09,300 at the alien con conference in March 5974 04:15:15,229 --> 04:15:12,660 where I went and I transcribed Travis 5975 04:15:16,729 --> 04:15:15,239 Taylor and Jay Stratton with George 5976 04:15:19,429 --> 04:15:16,739 Knapp and it's 5977 04:15:21,469 --> 04:15:19,439 a long transcript and I'll have it out 5978 04:15:22,790 --> 04:15:21,479 in a week I had some issues with it but 5979 04:15:25,189 --> 04:15:22,800 those are 5980 04:15:27,410 --> 04:15:25,199 resolved I just have to add a couple of 5981 04:15:28,910 --> 04:15:27,420 things to it last one the statement 5982 04:15:31,250 --> 04:15:28,920 about cutting the feed was followed up 5983 04:15:33,590 --> 04:15:31,260 that he personally was unaware 5984 04:15:35,210 --> 04:15:33,600 that in in only the last 20 years he 5985 04:15:37,429 --> 04:15:35,220 couldn't speak beyond that time period 5986 04:15:39,590 --> 04:15:37,439 which is interesting and was interesting 5987 04:15:41,870 --> 04:15:39,600 yeah as far as I know that they'll say 5988 04:15:45,290 --> 04:15:41,880 stuff like that as far as I know which 5989 04:15:48,229 --> 04:15:45,300 gets them off the hook so 5990 04:15:50,450 --> 04:15:48,239 yeah it I'm gonna hopefully they put out 5991 04:15:51,950 --> 04:15:50,460 a transcript I'm not transcribing four 5992 04:15:54,050 --> 04:15:51,960 hours of this 5993 04:15:55,849 --> 04:15:54,060 um hopefully maybe I'll do Kirkpatrick 5994 04:15:57,229 --> 04:15:55,859 and that one woman 5995 04:15:58,429 --> 04:15:57,239 um hopefully they have a transcript 5996 04:16:00,830 --> 04:15:58,439 because 5997 04:16:03,290 --> 04:16:00,840 I hope they had a transcriber hired for 5998 04:16:06,290 --> 04:16:03,300 this I mean it's pretty historical you 5999 04:16:08,750 --> 04:16:06,300 know historic for NASA to have a a 6000 04:16:10,370 --> 04:16:08,760 meeting public meeting on UFOs like this 6001 04:16:12,410 --> 04:16:10,380 even though some of it was really 6002 04:16:15,110 --> 04:16:12,420 annoying you know the guy said the go 6003 04:16:19,070 --> 04:16:15,120 fast was going 40 miles per hour Mick 6004 04:16:22,550 --> 04:16:19,080 West the debunker his range was 38 to 6005 04:16:24,650 --> 04:16:22,560 115 I think something in that range 6006 04:16:27,110 --> 04:16:24,660 um Bruce Maccabee said about 400 miles 6007 04:16:29,750 --> 04:16:27,120 per hour Gary Nolan when he was with 6008 04:16:32,269 --> 04:16:29,760 ttsa said 400 miles per hour and those 6009 04:16:34,849 --> 04:16:32,279 may be a little high but 40 miles per 6010 04:16:36,349 --> 04:16:34,859 hour and then why would why would why 6011 04:16:38,210 --> 04:16:36,359 would atip even put that in the 6012 04:16:40,130 --> 04:16:38,220 anomalous category what else about that 6013 04:16:42,110 --> 04:16:40,140 sighting do we have I just think that 6014 04:16:43,550 --> 04:16:42,120 was just why put that out and then the 6015 04:16:45,229 --> 04:16:43,560 Kirkpatrick thing with the three lights 6016 04:16:47,570 --> 04:16:45,239 oh those are planes why do you keep 6017 04:16:49,189 --> 04:16:47,580 doing that to us I mean there's no 6018 04:16:51,349 --> 04:16:49,199 reason that we know that people make 6019 04:16:53,990 --> 04:16:51,359 mistakes we know that the large 6020 04:16:56,030 --> 04:16:54,000 percentage of alleged unidentifieds are 6021 04:16:58,070 --> 04:16:56,040 not identical they're not unidentified I 6022 04:16:59,389 --> 04:16:58,080 mean they turn out to be prosaic you 6023 04:17:02,570 --> 04:16:59,399 know anywhere from five to twenty 6024 04:17:05,450 --> 04:17:02,580 percent depending on what you look at 6025 04:17:08,090 --> 04:17:05,460 nope there were not any aliens 6026 04:17:09,530 --> 04:17:08,100 I.T guy 6027 04:17:11,630 --> 04:17:09,540 but um 6028 04:17:15,349 --> 04:17:11,640 yeah some people took really good 6029 04:17:17,750 --> 04:17:15,359
