NASA · UAP Independent Study Team report (2023)· 2023
On September 14, 2023, NASA released the report of its UAP Independent Study Team: a 16-scientist panel concluded there is no evidence of extraterrestrial origin for UAP, but no conclusive explanation either; it called for higher-quality data, scientific rigor and destigmatization, and NASA appointed a director of UAP research.

In 1997 Stanford astrophysicist Peter Sturrock convened a panel of scientists to review the physical evidence associated with UAP cases. The report (1998) concluded that some cases present unexplained physical data deserving scientific study — without asserting extraterrestrial origin, but breaking the taboo that the subject is not investigable.
