On Monday, Harvard Astronomer Avi Loeb and Frank Laukien, the CEO of Bruker Corp. proclaimed a new effort toward "the systematic scientific search for extraterrestrial technological artifacts." Already with almost two million dollars in resources, The Galileo Project starts with, but goes beyond, the 100 or more ground-based telescope and multispectral detection systems organized into a computer-aided, data filtered network. The first stage sounds like a
UFODATA or
MADAR proposition writ large and backed by largely academically-placed individuals without well-known interests in UFOs. The co-founders should consult previous science-based efforts for determining their instrumentation, but won't study past UFO cases, which generally lack the needed scientific data richness and reproducibility they think their project can supply. The project expressly distances itself from anecdotal reports and "legends," and won't employ "alternative physics or science hypotheses." It also will eschew classified data as that would constrain a free information dissemination goal.
Announcing a New Plan for Solving the Mystery of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena is a Loeb summary of the project. Aaron Reich's
Harvard Astronomer Revolutionizes Search for Alien Life with New Project discusses the origins of the initiative. One wonders whether the donors Loeb mentions there saw his proposal in last month's
What We Can Learn from Studying UFOs"? For more information go to
The Galileo Project. Amid all this excitement, one might want to consult aerospace and astronomy journalist Bruce Dorminey's
Current UAP Debate Could Use An Injection Of Common Sense. Has Loeb indeed "covered all the bases"? (WM)
