Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in videos investigated by the United States appear to not respond to physics, according to a new study
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb is the lead author of a paper claiming that UFOs investigated by the Pentagon are behaving strangely.
The director of the Pentagon’s Office of All-Domain Anomaly Resolution, Sean Kirpatrick, also worked on the study.
According to the expert, the film material still needs to be analyzed by other scientists, but it has some surprising points. UFOs are referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (formerly UFOs, now UAPs) throughout the study.
It’s a term that has been embraced more by scientists who feel the term UFO has a stigma attached to it. Kirpatrick and Loeb investigated the friction they expected to see in the UAP clips.
A fast-moving object and the air or water around it must move in a certain way, according to the laws of physics agreed upon by scientists.
However, Kirpatrick and Loeb noted that from the way the UFOs were moving, “they would be expected to generate a bright optical fireball.”
“It is not clear why objects do not behave as they should. It could be due to something as simple as poor measurement tools,” they explained.
The researchers wrote: “The lack of all these signatures may imply inaccurate distance measurements (and therefore derived velocity) for single-site sensors without range-ranging capability.”
Loeb wrote a balanced report in Science America detailing his theory: “If some UAPs do turn out to be alien technology, they could be dropping sensors for subsequent spacecraft to tune into,” he stated.
