NASAの「UFO」研究チームが始動、未確認現象の謎に迫る

(CNN) 米航空宇宙局(NASA)が未確認飛行物体(UFO)の謎に踏み込む目的で発足させた科学者や専門家など16人のチームが24日、独立した立場からの研究活動を開始した。
同チームには宇宙生物学、データサイエンス、海洋学、遺伝学、政策、惑星科学などの専門家のほか、米海軍の戦闘機パイロットだったNASAの元宇宙飛行士スコット・ケリーさんも加わっている。
NASAは今年6月に同チームの創設を発表し、米サイモンズ財団の代表を務める天体物理学者のデービッド・スパーゲル氏がチームを率いると明らかにしていた。
未確認航空現象は軍の制限空域内で過去数十年にわたって目撃されている。しかし同チームは必ずしもその正体を突き止めることを目的とせず、NASAがこの現象に関する今後の研究にどうアプローチするのが最善かを見極める。
調査期間は約9カ月を予定しており、内容は全て一般に公開される。
具体的には、「科学的な見地から航空機や既知の自然現象とは認識できない空中での出来事」に関する情報の収集に当たる。
未確認航空現象は、安全性や安全保障の観点から注目されているとNASAは説明。6月の発表の時点で、そうした現象と地球外生命体との関係を裏付ける証拠はないと強調していた。

(CNN) A team of 16 scientists and experts set up by the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to break into the mystery
of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) had started an independent study on the
24th.
The team included experts in astrobiology, data science,
oceanography, genetics, policy and planetary science, as well as former NASA
astronaut Scott Kelly, who was a US Navy fighter pilot.
NASA announced the creation of the team in June this year, and it was made clear that it would be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, president of the Simons Foundation.
Unidentified aerial phenomena had been witnessed for decades within military restricted airspace. But the team wasn't necessarily focusing in finding out what it could be, but to determine how NASA might best approach future studies of the phenomenon.
NASA had long said that the limited number of sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena had made it difficult to draw scientific conclusions about the nature of such phenomena. For this reason, this research would focus on proposing to NASA what kind of data should be collected in the future in order to scientifically elucidate the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena.
The survey was scheduled to last about nine months, and all of the content would be open to the public.
Specifically, it collected information about "occurrences in the air that are not recognizable from a scientific point of view from aircraft or known natural phenomena."
NASA explained that unidentified aerial phenomena were attracting attention from the perspective of safety and security. At the time of its announcement in June, it stressed that there was no evidence to support a connection between such phenomena and extraterrestrial life.
So, a team of scientists and
experts will research into the mystery of UFOs. This research will focus on
proposing to NASA the kind of data should be collected in the future in order
to scientifically understand the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena.
