“#Galileo Project to search cosmos for alien life and UFOs<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

An out-of-this-world research project is blasting off to see if extraterrestrial societies not only exist but also could create technology<\/a> allowing them to travel<\/a> in space.<\/p>\n

The Galileo Project was launched by a multi-institutional team led by Avi Loeb, a professor of science<\/a> in the department of astronomy at Harvard University. In a statement, project representatives told Live Science<\/a> that it will seek and investigate evidence that could represent active or defunct \u201cextraterrestrial technological civilizations,\u201d or ETCs.<\/p>\n

The project will design new algorithms using data from astronomical surveys and telescope observations to identify potential interstellar travelers, alien-built satellites and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).<\/p>\n

Loeb authored \u201cExtraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth<\/a>,\u201d published in January 2021, which laid out a compelling case for why an object that recently wandered into our solar system was not just another rock but actually a piece of alien technology.<\/p>\n

That strange cosmic object is called \u2018Oumuamua (Hawaiian for \u201cscout\u201d) \u2014 which passed by Earth in 2017 and was likely a\u00a0comet or asteroid\u00a0\u2014 that he cited as an example of alien creation. It could have been a light sail, an antenna or potentially an alien spaceship. \u2018Oumuamua was visible only for about two months, and its flattened cigar shape puzzled many experts in the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can only speculate whether \u2018Oumuamua may be explained by never-seen-before natural explanations, or by stretching our imagination to \u2018Oumuamua perhaps being an extraterrestrial technological object, similar to a very thin lightsail or communications dish, which would fit the astronomical data rather well,\u201d Loeb said in the statement.<\/p>\n

The project will use new and existing telescopes \u2014 including the 8-meter Vera C. Rubin Observatory under construction in Chile \u2014 to search for mysterious artifacts that could be interstellar objects, satellites hiding in Earth orbit and unexplained craft in Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Loeb assembled a research team of several respected astronomers and researchers from other fields after receiving a donation of $1.75 million toward the project, despite some pushback. Loeb wants to design a launch-ready space mission to study incoming objects \u2014 or potentially aliens \u2014 at close range.<\/p>\n

One of the Galileo Project\u2019s research branches will focus on coming up with strategies for finding and tracking such interstellar visitors from space and telescopes. The project may also focus on locating small ETC satellites and analyzing UAP sightings.<\/p>\n

Part of analyzing these UAP sightings is retrieving high-quality images of them. If using a 1-meter telescope with a modern sensor, for example, researchers could see details as small as 1 millimeter on an object 1 kilometer away, Loeb told Science magazine<\/a>. However, at about $500,000 each, these telescopes are pricey. Loeb would station dozens of telescopes across the globe to scan for these UAPs if funding allows.<\/p>\n

A recent report by the Pentagon documented 144 UAP sightings between 2004 and 2021, with only one identified with \u201chigh confidence.\u201d Most were probably physical objects and not atmospheric phenomena, but the data were overall inconclusive.<\/p>\n

The project has been met with much enthusiasm from researchers in the field of SETI, or the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. However, some researchers believe that this project is adding little to already planned or developed initiatives, such as the European Space Agency\u2019s Comet Interceptor \u2014 which will launch in 2028 and will sit in orbit waiting for comets or interstellar objects.<\/p>\n

But Loeb feels that researchers should not deny the legitimacy or viability of this research, since open-mindedness is what leads to progress \u2014 and, perhaps, the discovery of alien life.<\/p>\n

The project is named for Galileo Galilei, a pioneering Italian astronomer who used telescopes he designed to observe celestial objects like Jupiter\u2019s moons, lunar craters and Saturn\u2019s rings.<\/p>\n
