NASA is set to release on Thursday the findings of a long-awaited study on unexplained flying objects in Earth's skies. The US space agency announced last year it was reviewing evidence regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs — which has replaced the term "UFO" in official parlance. The subject has long fascinated the public but was shunned by mainstream science. An independent team of 16 researchers shared their preliminary observations in May, finding that existing data and eyewitness reports are insufficient to draw firm conclusions, while calling for more systematic collection of high-quality data. It's unlikely Thursday's report will change that bottom line — but it could eventually usher in the start of a new mission for the agency. While NASA's probes and rovers scour the solar system for any fossils of ancient microbes, and its astronomers look for signs of intelligent civilizations on distant planets, its historic posture has been to «debunk» sightings on our home planet. There have been more than 800 «events» collected over 27 years, of which two to five per cent are thought to be possibly anomalous, the report's authors said during the May meeting. These are defined as «anything that is not readily understandable by the operator or the sensor,» or «something that is doing something weird,» said team member Nadia Drake. The US government has begun taking the issue of UAPs more seriously in recent years, in part due to concerns that they are related to foreign surveillance. NASA's work, which relies on unclassified material, is separate from a Pentagon investigation, though the two are coordinating on matters of how to apply scientific tools and methods. In July, a former US intelligence officer made

Independent market expert Hemang Jani says, «among largecaps, continue to like SBI, ICICI Bank and HDFC also which after a long time is showing a little bit of traction. These are the names when it comes to the large cap names. In midcaps, we should focus on two names; IDFC First Bank, where we had an entry of a big investor. Also Federal Bank is delivering consistently good performance. IT is a value play. There is a little bit of a zigzag here and there based on what is happening in the US markets. But TCS on the largecap front and to some extent, some of the small midcap names, Tech Mahindra, Naukri, are the names where we continue to have a positive bias.»The standout performers in trade yesterday were the PSU stocks which had a pretty strong run up. What is your assessment as to how they have moved and what is the outlook?We have seen a big correction the day before and stocks actually corrected anywhere from 5% to 15% and the index itself was down about 3%. Yesterday it was a smart pullback. Our take is that one really needs to watch for some sort of a consolidation when it comes to the broader market because when an index has gone up by 35-40%, a 3% or 4% correction is actually very small.
