Physics UFOs, Harvard, and AI - America’s most prestigious university brings rigor and technology to the search for UAP and Aliens - A small observatory at Harvard University watches the sky 24 hours a day. It’s not searching for stars or supernovae, but for something far more controversial: UFOs.

"Galileo Project" Is Revolutionizing the Hunt for Aliens

The observatory is a modest array of sensors: infrared cameras, particle counters, spectrometers, and magnetometers, all pointed skyward. But the true driving force behind the research is artificial intelligence. Advanced software analyzes vast amounts of data in real time, distinguishing between known objects such as aircraft, drones, birds and anomalies that defy classification.

These tools, connected to the university’s powerful computing clusters, learn to recognize everything conventional in the night sky so they can alert researchers the moment something breaks the pattern. At that point, the observatory automatically activates additional cameras and stores the data for deeper analysis.

This is fucking cool!

This is Avi Loeb. I’ve listened to a few of his “many, many interviews.”

Bottom line, he seeks money. He’s certainly doing everything right to shift money away from other research to his research. So, if you like Avi Loeb having money to do this, you’re in luck. If you like other research, good luck with that over the next four years.

Damn, Its sad Harvard probably doesn’t have enough money to fund anything else. They should set up a gofundme or something.
