In 2014, NASA awarded the Center for Theological Inquiry at Princeton University a $1.1 million grant to study worshippersвЂ™ interest in and openness to the notion of alien life, in a program of research called the Societal Implications of Astrobiology.

Research published in 2017 found that people with a strong desire to find meaning, but a low adherence to a particular religion, are more likely to believe aliens exist - indicating that faith in either theory may come from the same human impulse. Studies have shown links between religiosity and belief in extraterrestrial intelligence. In 2014, NASA awarded CTI a $1.1 million grant to study worshippersвЂ™ interest in and openness to scientific inquiry called the Societal Implications of Astrobiology study. This is the latest dispatch to come in a partnership between the US space agency and the religious institute. University of Cambridge Corpus Christi College Andrew Davison also holds a doctorate in biochemistry from Oxford.

In a recent statement on the University of CambridgeвЂ™s Faculty of Divinity blog, Davison says his research so far has already seen вЂњjust how frequently theology-and-astrobiology has been topic in popular writingвЂќ during the previous 150 years.ДavisonвЂ™s upcoming book, вЂњAstrobiology and Christian Doctrine,вЂќ due out in 2022, according to the Times, will cover part of CTI and NASAвЂ™s joint spiritual exploration, in which his вЂњmost significant questionвЂќ is how theologians would respond to the notion вЂњof there having been many incarnations вЂќ in the universe, he added in the blog post. Andrew Davison, who also holds a doctorate in biochemistry from Oxford, is one of the 24 theologians enlisted to help with the project, the Times UK reported last week. University of Cambridge religious scholar Rev. ThatвЂ™s the question that NASA hopes theologians at the Center for Theological Inquiry (CTI) in Princeton, New Jersey, can answer, in a recent effort to understand how humans will react to news that intelligent life exists on other planets. NASA announces first-ever study on UFOs for вЂnational security and air safetyвЂ™Д«etween heaven and Earth, where do aliens fit in?

The space agency is open to any and all interpretations of the data-though it is setting a high bar for at least one.Elon Musk covers everything from layoffs to aliens in Q&A with Twitter employeesД¬reepy optical illusion turns celebs into вЂaliensвЂ™Д¬hina says it may have detected aliens, then deletes report Budgeted at a bargain rate of just $100,000, the study will run for nine months, analyze all available video data and first-hand accounts amassed so far, and consult both military and civilian experts for their analysis of the evidence. The effort will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, former chair of the astrophysics department at Princeton University. As the space agency announced this week, itвЂ™s launching its own investigation, beginning in the fall, to get to the bottom of the UAP mystery. Now, thereвЂ™s a third government agency getting involved in the effort to explain UAPs: NASA itself. вЂњUAPs are unexplained, itвЂ™s true,вЂќ Congressman and committee chairman Andre Carson (D., Ind.) said in his opening statement during the House hearings. The objects could be natural phenomena misinterpreted by the pilots and their equipment they could be new technology developed by Russia, China, or another high technology power and yes, they could, in theory at least, be extraterrestrial in origin. The Congressional hearing followed the release last year of a similar Department of Defense study of UAPs, and both Congress and the Pentagon came to the same conclusion, which was basically: beats me. TheyвЂ™re going against the wind! The windвЂ™s 120 knots west!вЂќДЄ version of this story first appeared in the TIME SPACE newsletter. вЂњLook at that thing, dude!вЂќ one pilot shouted in a declassified recording made during a 2015 sighting. As I reported, just last month, the House Intelligence CommitteeвЂ™s Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation subcommittee conducted public hearings on more than 140 sightings by military pilots over the past 20 years of UAPs flying in all manner of inexplicable ways: bobbing, weaving, hovering, diving, changing direction with head-snapping speed that would produce potentially deadly g-forces to any living being-or at least any living human being-inside. UFOs-or UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena), as theyвЂ™re more decorously called today-have frequently been in the news lately.
