Background

The Galileo Project is an international civilian academic research initiative founded in 2021 by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb.

  • Based primarily at Harvard University with collaborators from institutions including Caltech, Cambridge, Princeton, and Stockholm University
  • Systematically searches for extraterrestrial technological signatures and artifacts
  • Operating with private funding and using an agnostic scientific approach
  • Distinguishes itself from traditional SETI efforts by focusing on physical evidence rather than radio signals

UAP Involvement

The project investigates Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), interstellar objects like 'Oumuamua, and potential non-manmade satellites.

  • Employs ground-based telescope networks, artificial intelligence algorithms, and dedicated sensor systems including infrared cameras, spectrometers, and magnetometers
  • Has established a 24-hour observatory at Harvard
  • Collaborates with other institutions now launching similar research initiatives

Key Contributions

The Galileo Project advances scientific study through innovative data collection and analysis.

  • First telescope installed on the roof of the Harvard College Observatory in 2022
  • Instruments collecting new high-quality data as of late 2022
  • Over 100 scientists worldwide involved in the project
