![]() And not telling us whether they know the distance. It’s going 600 miles an hour, but the rate at which a film of that plane would look depends on the distance. Think of an airplane-if you look at a 747 in the sky, it doesn’t appear to be moving very fast. All of those claims require that we know the distance to the target. Yet they then say these things have enormous speeds and do maneuvers that are impossible to replicate by our technology. ![]() shows images of these objects, and they have ruled out extraterrestrial technology. there really isn’t enough information to evaluate what is going on. Thomas Bania: Do any of us believe these are actual flying saucers from outer space? No. All I’m saying is that if a foreign power developed technology, then later on we’d see technology like that from them, either in operation or testing. I can’t comment on whether they’re UFOs or not, because I don’t want to look like a kook, to be blunt. That never materialized later into a foreign nation having a capability like that. The UFO sightings dating back into the ’50s and ’60s were never technology that we were able to see later on from a foreign power. My concern with the report is that stated it could be a foreign power’s technology. did we track something that we thought was a UFO. I never flew for the Air Force-I was a nuclear and space guy. Jack Weinstein: I have no expertise in UFOs except for watching Men in Black. ![]() Q &A With Thomas Bania and Jack Weinstein BU Today: Any doubts about the government’s reported conclusion that the recent sightings aren’t extraterrestrials? (“Carl Sagan…owes me money,” he says, a debt he knows he won’t collect, as his celebrity colleague died in 1996.)īania and Jack Weinstein, a Pardee School of Global Studies professor of the practice of international security and a retired Air Force lieutenant general, offered their takes on the government’s conclusions for BU Today. ![]() He researches the possibility of life elsewhere, along with many in his field. UFOs aren’t just the playpen of conspiracy theorists and sci-fi fans: NASA awards grants to reputable scientists seeking real-life ETs, and we’ve been scanning the heavens for signs of artificial signals for decades, says Thomas Bania, a College of Arts & Sciences professor of astronomy. The investigation followed sightings and videos recorded in recent years, by fighter aircraft instruments and pilots’ naked eyes, of objects flying at seemingly impossible speed and doing seemingly impossible maneuvers. So concludes a forthcoming US government report, whose broad findings leaked earlier this month, on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), the current, less X-Files–sounding term for UFOs. It could, however, be a foreign power’s technology. The truth is out there, but for now, it doesn’t involve extraterrestrial visitors. ![]()
