NASA is assembling a team to gather data on unidentifiable events in the sky:
The team will gather data on "events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena -- from a scientific perspective," the agency said.
NASA said it was interested in UAPs from a security and safety perspective. There was no evidence UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin, NASA added. The study will begin this fall and is expected to take nine months.
"NASA believes that the tools of scientific discovery are powerful and apply here also," said Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC.
"We have access to a broad range of observations of Earth from space -- and that is the lifeblood of scientific inquiry. We have the tools and team who can help us improve our understanding of the unknown. That's the very definition of what science is. That's what we do."
NASA to Set Up Independent Study on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena:
NASA is commissioning a study team to start early in the fall to examine unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) – that is, observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena – from a scientific perspective. The study will focus on identifying available data, how best to collect future data, and how NASA can use that data to move the scientific understanding of UAPs forward.
[...]
The study is expected to take about nine months to complete. It will secure the counsel of experts in the scientific, aeronautics, and data analytics communities to focus on how best to collect new data and improve observations of UAPs."Consistent with NASA's principles of openness, transparency, and scientific integrity, this report will be shared publicly," said Evans. "All of NASA's data is available to the public – we take that obligation seriously – and we make it easily accessible for anyone to see or study."
Statistically, we are probably not alone. But do you think that we will make contact with another 'intelligent' life form in the future or never?

Note that concept of Psychurgy as was still common in scientific population in late 19th Century is now completely erased from Internets, no books, no references, even the word itself got muddled meaning description today in dictionaries and Theurgy as is still kept tolerated as a concept is but explained very naively even on Wikipedia.

How can you make a contact with non-human intelligent entities if you deny their very existence first?

Don't you worry, there are still enough assault rifles around for you to buy some, just because the US sells some to kick some Ivan butt doesn't mean your can't buy one.
Oh, sorry. Lemme guess, you're working for the ass that gets kicked, right?
