1 More mainstream scientists becoming interested in studying #UFOs/ #UAP. Progress!

"Ravi Kopparapu is a planetary scientist at NASA& #39;s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland who studies planetary habitability, climate modeling & chemistry https://www.space.com/unidentified-aerial-phenomena-scientific-scrutiny">https://www.space.com/unidentif...

2 "in the context of exoplanet atmosphere characterization. He views the UAP/UFO phenomena as a scientifically interesting problem, driven in part by observations that seem to defy the laws of physics.

That said, Kopparapu said he& #39;s wary of bringing the term & #39;extraterrestrial& #39;

3 "into the conversation. & #39;That& #39;s because there is absolutely no concrete evidence that I know of that points to them as being extraterrestrial,& #39; he said.

"& #39;There& #39;s a fundamental problem that we have right now to scientifically study UAP,& #39; Kopparapu said. & #39;We do not have proper

4 "& #39;data collection of this phenomena that can be shared among interested scientists to verify claims and filter out truly unexplainable events.& #39;

Also, the entire UAP topic has been much maligned by being associated with ET, Kopparapu added. This association prevents a thorough

5 "scientific investigation by the science community, he feels, essentially because of a taboo surrounding ET claims.

& #39;I think people immediately think about "aliens" when they hear UFOs/UAPs, and I want scientists to not fall for that,& #39; Kopparapu said. & #39;Be strictly agnostic

6 "& #39;and don& #39;t let preconceived ideas cloud judgments. Have an open mind. Consider this as a science problem. If it turns out these have mundane explanations, so be it.& #39;"
