1 You do that with the scientific method. So as AARO is
2 developing and implementing its science plan it has to do so
3 grounded in a solid foundation of scientific theory across
4 the entire range of hypotheses that have been presented for
5 what UAP are.
6 That range spans adversary breakthrough technology, on
7 one hand, known objects and phenomena in the middle, all the
8 way to the extreme theories of extraterrestrials.
9 All of that has physics-based signatures associated
10 with it, whether it is theoretical from the academic
11 community known from things like hypersonic weapons or
12 adversary breakthrough technologies, as we have talked about
13 before, or the known objects that we have to go measure.
14 The idea is across that entire range you have to come
15 up with peer-reviewed scientific basis for all of it. The
16 academic community plays a very big role on the -- one end
17 of the spectrum, the intelligence community on the other end
18 of the spectrum, and then measurement in the middle.
19 Once I have those signatures identified in validated
20 peer-reviewed documents then I have something to point to
21 for all that data because all that data is going to match
22 one of those signatures, and then I can go, well, it is that
23 and not that or it is that, and that helps us go through all
24 that.
25 Where NASA comes in and the study that they are doing,
