Very few official UFO studies have been conducted, but CU 麻豆影院 boasts one of these rare reports. In the 1960s, the U.S. Air Force commissioned Edward Condon, a former CU professor of physics and astrophysics, to conduct a scientific investigation into the possibility that UFOs may be of extraterrestrial origin. The 鈥淐ondon Report鈥 officially concluded UFOs did not warrant further investigation.听

However, other CU voices remain passionate that studying unexplainable phenomena is crucial to adding to our knowledge of the universe. Philosophy professor Carol Cleland, affiliate of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute, believes studying these anomalies could help lead to major scientific breakthroughs.
