UFO Investigation: The Rise of U.S. Defense Agencies and NASA’s Interest in Unidentified Flying Objects Sparks Scientific Inquiry

U.S. defense agencies and NASA’s recent interest in UFOs has sparked a more serious and scientific investigation into what is happening in the skies above, according to Michelle Hennessy, a journalist at The Economist. Initially skeptical about the cultural fascination with flying saucers and aliens, Hennessy has since come to believe that there may be more to the phenomenon than meets the eye.
