Galileo Project (Harvard)

The Galileo Project, founded in 2021 by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, is an academic research initiative at Harvard University in the United States. It systematically searches for evidence of extraterrestrial technology and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) using networks of advanced sensors including infrared cameras, spectrometers, magnetometers, and AI-driven software to analyze sky data in real-time, distinguishing anomalies from aircraft, drones, birds, and balloons. Key activities involve deploying observatories to monitor Earth's atmosphere and orbit for interstellar objects and anomalous aerial vehicles, with plans for hundreds of sites worldwide. Notable achievements include commissioning data on 500,000 objects over five months, identifying 144 ambiguous cases, and fostering scientific rigor in UAP studies amid government disclosures like AARO reports. The project remains active, emphasizing empirical, unbiased inquiry.
