The space agency held a four-hour-long discussion on the topic of unidentified flying objects, with members of the public allowed to quiz the panel over the internet.
During the meeting the experts were quizzed on a range of topics including why they have taken to calling them UAPs rather than UFOs and what NASA would do if they actually discovered extra-terrestrials.
On what they would do if they were to actually discover extra-terrestrial life, astrobiologist Dr David Grinspoon said NASA would be"highly driven" to share evidence.
