by An international team of astrophysicists has announced a new scientific project to search for evidence of potential astro-archeological artifacts or active technical equipment made by existing or extinct extraterrestrial technological civilizations (ETCs).
The Galileo Project, led by Harvard Professor Avi Loeb, aims to identify the nature of potential ETC objects using the standard scientific method based on a transparent analysis of open scientific data to be collected using optimized instruments.
“In 2017, the world for the first time observed an interstellar object, called ‘Oumuamua, that was briefly visiting our Solar System,” Professor Loeb said.
“Based on astronomical observations, ‘Oumuamua turned out to have highly anomalous properties that defy well-understood natural explanations.”
“We can only speculate whether ‘Oumuamua may be explained by never seen before natural explanations, or by stretching our imagination to ‘Oumuamua perhaps being an extraterrestrial technological object, similar to a very thin light-sail or communications dish, which would fit the astronomical data rather well.”
