The Pentagon and Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb have proposed a more rigorous approach to evaluating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings, formerly known as UFOs. Loeb and Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, co-authored a scientific paper aiming to use physics to rule out certain UAP sightings.
They suggest that if UAPs were moving at the speeds and directions they appear to be, the friction should create a visible fireball and a corresponding radio signature. The absence of these signatures could suggest inaccurate distance measurements or limitations of equipment.
Loeb, who believes in the possibility of alien probes visiting our solar system, leads the Galileo Project at Harvard, which uses systematic scientific methods to evaluate UAP observations. Despite his belief in extraterrestrial life, Loeb asserts that most unusual sightings in our skies are not alien-related.
Key Takeaways:
- The Pentagon and Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb are advocating for a more scientific approach to investigating unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), previously known as UFOs.
- A draft scientific paper by Loeb and Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick suggests that many UAP sightings could be explained by optical illusions or equipment limitations, as the physics involved would generate visible and detectable signs not typically associated with these sightings.
- Despite his scientific skepticism, Loeb maintains the belief that extraterrestrial life exists and has initiated the Galileo Project at Harvard to systematically evaluate UAP observations using scientific methods.
“The Pentagon and a Harvard astronomer — who is also an outspoken believer in the possibility alien probes have visited our solar system — have teamed up to call for a more rigorous approach to evaluating unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP, sightings.”
