Nasa is launching a “full focus” investigation into thousands of UFO sightings.
The space agency has announced plans for a nine-month study of unidentified aerial phenomena.
It follows the first US congressional hearings on UFOs in more than 50 years.

Daniel Evans, a Nasa research chief, said: “This is really important to us, and we’re placing a high priority on it.”
He added that the research squad will be made up of “some of the world’s leading scientists, data practitioners, artificial intelligence practitioners, aerospace safety experts… all with a specific charge, which is to tell us how to apply the full focus of science and data to UAPs.
“I’m hoping that we’ll get this done by October, but I will cross my fingers and say that we could be able to get it done sooner than that.”
The team is led by astrophysicist David Spergel, who plans to start off by looking at the huge amount of data Nasa already collects on the Earth’s atmosphere.
He said: “We observe it both from above and below. Whether it’s air traffic management data, astronomers looking up, satellites looking down.”
At the congressional hearing, US deputy director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray said UFO encounters had been “frequent and continuous”.
The investigation comes amid fears aliens could rearrange our solar system to send a "message" to Earth.
This ambitious planet-shuffling could help ET advertise their presence to distant searchers like us, according to planetary scientist Matthew Clement, of the Carnegie Institution for Science Earth and Planets Laboratory, and his colleagues.
Clement and his colleagues suggest that a sufficiently powerful and motivated alien civilisation could arrange entire solar systems of planets into resonant orbits with more complex ratios.
They say it could be done using something about the size of an asteroid, which could be set on the right course to trade gravitational nudges with its larger planetary neighbours, gradually shepherding them into different orbits.
“This actually happens,” Clement told Inverse. “We are fairly confident that the Solar System's giant planets moved around significantly after they formed, as they had repeated flybys with leftover debris and with stuff like Pluto.”
