NASA panel chair calls UAP data collection ‘unsystematic and fragmented’

David Spergel, chair of NASA’s panel on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), said Wednesday that stigma around the reporting of UAP has made the collection of data on the topic difficult. He said data collection is also “unsystematic and fragmented” across many agencies and that reported UAP sightings are often “uninformative” due to lack of quality control and data curation.
