NASA held the first public session held by a committee of physics and astronomy experts at the agency's headquarters to talk about the phenomenon. NASA experts found that between 2 and 5 percent of those observations "may be really abnormal," and among the examples the agency touched on was the metal spherical object that flew in the Middle East in 2022.
The NASA hearing did not confirm the existence of the phenomenon as much as it refuted countless claims and exaggerations, yet the speakers maintained a great deal of caution.
