The 16-member team will investigate UAPs, now the formal name for what were previously called UFOs, over the course of nine months as they seek to lay the groundwork for future studies. The team will focus on how data collected by civilians, governments and commercial businesses can be analyzed to shed light on UAPs — and then construct a roadmap for future NASA analyses.
