Nasa has released the first findings from its report into unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UFOs.
The space agency commissioned the study in response to a variety of reports of what appear to be unexplained and unknown craft, reported by US pilots and others.
Nasa chief Bill Nelson said: “We are looking for signs of life, past and present, and it is in our DNA to explore and to ask why things are the way they are.”
Mr Nelson said the study was commissioned for a number of reasons, including “shifting sensationalism to science” and making sure information is shared “transparently around the world”.

00:00 We are looking for signs of life, past and present.
00:05 And it's in our DNA to explore and to ask why things are
00:12 the way they are.
00:15 In June of last year, NASA commissioned an independent
00:20 study team to examine unidentified anomalous
00:24 phenomena.
00:26 We did so with a few goals in mind.
00:30 First, to examine how NASA can use our expertise and
00:34 instruments to study UAP from a scientific perspective.
00:41 Second, shift the conversation about UAP from sensationalism to
00:49 science and to make sure that whatever we find or whatever we
00:58 recommend, to make sure that information is shared
01:03 transparently around the world.
