We targeted five reported UAP features described in a previous work: shape, estimated size, ability to hover, presence of electromagnetic (EM) effects, and presence of sound. The two-step clustering algorithm identified seven distinct clusters, with this model of good statistical quality (silhouette value = 0.6). Object shape was the strongest driver of clustering results although other features contributed.

These tendencies much change to a more open- minded, multi-faceted, and scientifically rigorous approach to one of humanity's most profound questions: Are we alone in the universe? This question is addressed from both a deductive and inductive perspective. Science’s approach to this question is changing, new paradigms will be needed, and an answer to this question may provide us with a
