NASA head Jared Isaacman recently confirmed that the space agency has taken images of objects that remain unknown, which could be classified as UFOs.
Isaacman, who began serving as NASA’s chief administrator in December, said the imagery could not be explained.
“We have captured imagery — and this is what President Trump is very forward-leaning about — that based on the data that we have within that imagery, we don’t know what it is,” he told podcast host Jack Gordon in a June 30 episode.
Isaacman stopped short of saying the images were proof of extraterrestrial life, but said he was confident that at some point, humans will conclude that other lifeforms exist beyond planet Earth.

“I think there’s a very real possibility we’re going to arrive at a conclusion in our lifetime that perhaps there’s life everywhere out there and that it isn’t as infrequent as it could possibly be,” he added.
NASA has previously denied having any evidence to suggest that UFOs are extraterrestrial in origin.
A 2023 report by an independent group of scientists and experts convened by NASA stated that more data was needed to better understand certain encounters that defied explanation.

The Pentagon has released batches of data, images, and other files related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
In June, it released dozens of records published through the Trump administration’s Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, or PURSUE, a government-wide effort to declassify files related to UAPs.
“We did keep a lot of that buried in files somewhere and the president said, ‘Why? Put it out there. We don’t have time to study it. Let other people tell us what it is,’ and you’re seeing that effort and you’re going to continue to see it,” Isaacman said.

Thus far, nothing has pointed to definitive proof of extraterrestrial life.
Isaacman noted that while NASA has images appearing to show unexplainable objects, it has yet to see evidence of crashed alien bodies or recovered spacecraft. However, he teased that NASA may already have evidence of life on Mars, a mere 250 million miles away.

“We got samples on Mars right now,” he said. “If we bring them back, there is a very high probability that they will point to, at some point, microbial life at least on Mars.”
“I can’t hate the subject,” Isaacman added. “In fact, I’m incredibly fascinated by it because that is at the heart of what we’re trying to do at NASA — answer the question, are we alone?”
