ROCHESTER IN THE NEWS

How does Pentagon UFO report affect search for other life in universe?

TODAY, June 30

The new government report on “unidentified aerial phenomena” essentially said that they do exist, but they also can’t be explained. While alien life is one theory behind the unexplained sightings, Adam Frank, the Helen F. and Fred H. Gowen Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, says that it’s unlikely. Frank was also included in a June 28 segment on the show about the report.
