NASA Releases New UFO Report, Appoints New UFO Research Director
NASA said Thursday that the study of UFOs will require new scientific techniques, including advanced satellites as well as a shift in how unidentified flying objects are perceived.

We discussed the latest with John Crassidis, professor of innovation and director of the Center for Space Cyber Strategy and Cyber Security at the University at Buffalo and previously worked at NASA.
