An update from NASA announcing their new director of UAP research. I’m sure there will be plenty of people uneasy with their DoD connection. Hopefully NASA commits to the transparency they affirmed during today’s conference.
While NASA still is evaluating the report and assessing the independent study team’s findings and recommendations, the agency is committed to contributing to the federal government’s unified UAP effort by appointing Mark McInerney director of UAP research.
McInerney previously served as NASA’s liaison to the Department of Defense covering limited UAP activities for the agency. In the director role, he will centralize communications, resources, and data analytical capabilities to establish a robust database for the evaluation of future UAP. He also will leverage NASA’s expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and space-based observation tools to support and enhance the broader government initiative on UAP. Since 1996, he has served various positions at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and the National Hurricane Center.
It is baffling to see a group that has made scientific breakthroughs fumble on seemingly basic things. They may still function well as a whole, but they don’t always present themselves that way.
