elon musk just leaked nasa's top secret mission that was just launched according to musk nasa is
conducting an investigation into ufos as part of a new push toward high-risk high-impact science
but what is the real mission let's find out hello everyone and welcome back to elon musk evolution
where we bring you the most recent news about elon musk and his multi-billion dollar companies in
today's video we'll talk about the top secret mission of nasa of finding ufos and elon musk

so you don't miss any of our amazing videos and let us get started one of the things we hope to
tangentially include in this study is to assist in removing some of the stigma attached to it
nasa hopes that the study of unidentified aerial phenomena or uap will move from the scientific
fringes to the mainstream the agency announced on june the 9th that it has formed a panel to
investigate uaps a new term that replaces the more familiar unidentified flying object or
ufo the nasa study will begin this fall last about nine months and cost no more than one hundred
thousand dollars according to agency officials on a conference call with reporters today
the primary goal is to assess the current state of the uap data landscape and how it can be approved
in the future musk stated the study will focus on identifying available data how to best collect
future data and how nasa can use these data to advance scientific understanding of uaps
said thomas zerberchin associate administrator for science at nasa headquarters in washington during
today's conference call in other words take a relatively data-poor field and turn it into a
field that is much more data-rich and thus worthy of scientific investigation and analysis he said
such work falls squarely within nasa's purview according to zurburchen noting that the agency's
many research priorities include among other things the search for alien life the investigation
of mysterious cosmic objects and phenomena and assisting in the safety and security of american
aircraft nasa's first a stands for aeronautics and uap could pose a threat to planes and other aerial
vehicles and like the united states nasa and the department of defense are not afraid to put their
names behind the effort to debunk uap in recent years the department of defense has established
a number of uap studying task forces emphasizing the importance of understanding the phenomenon for
national security purposes musk explained talking about some of these issues may be considered kind
of selling out we're talking about things that are not actually science in a traditional type
of science environment sir butchen said i just vehemently oppose that i believe that the quality
of science is measured not only by the outputs that come from it but also by the questions we're
willing to tackle with science indeed nasa hopes that the newly formed panel and its work will help
to standardize uap sightings and research bringing more and better data into scientists databases
one of the things that you may have heard in the congressional hearings a few weeks ago was that
there's a great deal of stigma associated with uap among our naval aviators and in the aviation
community daniel evans assistant deputy associate administrator for research at nasa's science
mission directorate said during today's call evans is the nasa official in charge of coordinating the
study which will be led by astrophysicist david spurgle president of the simons foundation in
new york city one of the tangential goals of this study simply by talking about it openly is to help
remove some of the stigma associated with it evans added of course that will result in increased
access to data more reports more sightings and so on so that's another goal we're aiming for
does nasa look for extraterrestrial life musk stated the search for life in the universe is
one of nasa's primary goals nasa has yet to find any credible evidence of extraterrestrial life
however nasa has long been exploring the solar system and beyond to help us understand
fundamental questions such as whether we are alone in the universe the agency's astrobiology program
investigates the origins evolution and distribution of life beyond earth
nasa's science missions are working together to find unmistakable signs of life beyond earth
from studying water on mars to probing promising ocean worlds like titan and europa
is there life beyond earth musk stated life beyond earth is a possibility if not a certainty
science is motivated by a desire to better understand the unknown but science is ultimately
a matter of evidence and we have yet to detect extraterrestrial life we will however continue to
look do intelligent extraterrestrials exist musk stated there is no known evidence for intelligent
life elsewhere intelligent or otherwise based on study institute research analysis of martian
meteorites recent discoveries of methane within the mars atmosphere and other similar studies
however one of nasa's primary objectives is the search for life in the universe we lead
the us government search for extraterrestrial life whether it's close to home or on our solar
system's planets or moons or further into space how does nasa go about looking for life musk
stated nasa's approach to the search for life is multifaceted nasa's astrobiology research strategy
is centered on three fundamental questions how does life begin and evolve is there life elsewhere
in the universe and how do we go about looking for life in the universe astrobiologists have
discovered a plethora of clues to answering these big questions over the last 50 years the agency's
search for life also includes the use of missions like the transiting exoplanet survey satellite or
tess and the hubble space telescope to look for habitable exoplanets missions such as the
james webb space telescope will attempt to detect biosignatures in the atmospheres of other planets
for example detecting oxygen and carbon dioxide in other atmospheres could indicate that an exoplanet
supports plants and animals in the same way that our planet does is nasa looking for techno
signatures musk stated techno signatures are a subset of biosignatures which are defined as any
detectable sign of living or extinct life techno signatures are technological indicators that can
be used to infer the presence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe such as searches for
extraterrestrial intelligence using narrow band radio signals or pulsed lasers the seti or search
for extraterrestrial intelligence is frequently used interchangeably with the search for techno
signatures due to nasa's policy of supporting astrophysical research using space-based assets
nasa does not fund ground-based radio telescope searches nasa also funded topical workshops
symposia and conferences to develop a research agenda to prioritize and guide future theoretical
and observational studies of non-radio techno signatures as well as to draft a publishable
report that can serve as the foundation for building a techno signatures library
why does nasa look for biosignatures rather than just technological signs musk stated
given that a planet may support life for billions of years before such intelligent life
evolves to create technology detectable from other solar systems our own planet for example
has only been producing detectable techno signatures for a little more than a century
we have a much better chance of finding life by looking at a wide range of bio signatures
is nasa looking for or researching unidentified aerial phenomena or uaps
nasa does not actively seek uaps nasa on the other hand collects extensive data about
earth's atmosphere via our earth observing satellites often in collaboration with other
space agencies around the world while these data are not specifically collected to identify uaps
or alien techno signatures they are public and can be used by anyone to search the atmosphere
while nasa does not actively seek uaps the discovery of uaps would open the door to new
scientific questions to investigate scientists from the atmosphere aerospace and other fields
could all contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenon exploring the unknown in space is
