Michio Kaku
Michio Kaku is an American theoretical physicist, one of the early researchers of string theory, and a well-known science communicator who has argued in several interviews that UAP phenomena should be investigated with scientific seriousness.
Michio Kaku is an American theoretical physicist and a professor at the City College of New York. Over the course of his career, he became known in professional circles as one of the early researchers of string theory, while to the wider public he is known primarily for his popular science books, lectures and television appearances, in which he explains questions of modern physics – such as parallel universes, time travel or the technologies of the future – in an accessible way.
His connection to the UFO/UAP topic
Kaku has addressed the UAP phenomenon in several interviews. In his view, the as-yet unexplained sightings recorded by pilots, military radars and satellites deserve scientific investigation, and the topic should not be dismissed out of hand or ridiculed. He has emphasized that, as a physicist, the lack of available data makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions, but in his opinion some of the phenomena cannot, according to our current knowledge, be simply explained by known aircraft or natural phenomena.
Official and skeptical positions
Kaku speaks on the topic not as a government or military insider, but as a physicist and science communicator. His position differs from the approach of official U.S. agencies (such as AARO) in that, while official investigations explain most cases with known phenomena or technical errors, Kaku believes it is worth remaining open to explanations not yet explored by science, while acknowledging the current limitations of the evidence.
