Are we on the verge of discovering the news that we are not alone and that UFOs and aliens are real? Harvard Professor of Astronomy and founder of The Galileo Project, Dr. Avi Loeb, joins us to discuss and share Galileo Project updates, his thoughts on the UFO / UAP phenomenon, aliens, and Neil deGrasse Tyson. He also shares his insights on debunkers Mick West & Michael Shermer, Pentagon whistleblower David Grusch claims, and The Pentagon AARO report on UAPs / UFOs by Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick. Dr. Loeb presented his thoughts on interstellar visitors at The Sol Foundation 2024 conference (@_SolFoundation ) and is at the forefront of efforts to unlock our mysterious universe.

Abraham (Avi) Loeb is the Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science at Harvard University and a bestselling author (in lists of the New York Times,Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, Die Zeit, Der Spiegel, L'Express and more). He received a PhD in Physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel at age 24 (1980-1986), led the first international project supported by the Strategic Defense Initiative (1983-1988), and was subsequently a long-term member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (1988-1993). Loeb has written 9 books, including most recently, Extraterrestrial and Interstellar, as well as over a thousand scientific papers (with h-index of 126 and i10-index of 589) on a wide range of topics, including black holes, the first stars, the search for extraterrestrial life and the future of the Universe. Loeb is the Director of the Institute for Theory and Computation (2007-present) within the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and also serves as the Head of the Galileo Project (2021-present). He had been the longest serving Chair of Harvard's Department of Astronomy (2011-2020) and the Founding Director of Harvard's Black Hole Initiative (2016-2021). He is an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, the American Physical Society, and the International Academy of Astronautics. Loeb is a former member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) at the White House, a former chair of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies (2018-2021) and a current member of the Advisory Board for "Einstein: Visualize the Impossible" of the Hebrew University. He chaired the Advisory Committee for the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative (2015-2024) and served as the Science Theory Director for all Initiatives of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation. In 2012, TIME magazine selected Loeb as one of the 25 most influential people in space and in 2020 Loeb was selected among the 14 most inspiring Israelis of the last decade.

Here's a thought Just because the tennis ball is in your backyard doesn't mean your neighbour plays tennis The tennis ball can be used for all sorts of things like cricket like throwing it for a dog there's multiple uses so that theory of the trash could be interesting in that it's maybe not trash it's probes it's technological trash... which I think was his point anyway

FYI Matt: I found this by searching KZfaq for UFO. While streaming it was pretty high on the list, coming back to it to comment after the fact I had to scroll down a bit to find it but it was still here. I dont know how the algorithm works but I did find this fairly easily searching UFO. I do find, however, I generally get a top three from the new york post chastisers, followed by a long list of history channel drama and recommended for you wtf before I get any real results. It seems this topic is becoming a little harder to find overall but I dont want to say the C word. I appreciate all you do, thank you for your information and coverage of this topic.

This was probably my favorite interview with Avi Loeb, nice work. Also (hope this helps) -- I believe the most common keywords/hashes for UFO pheonomenon related stuff on KZfaq are: Extraterrestrial life || Intelligence || Outer space || Consciousness . You'll have to forgive me, I don't quite remember the keyword amount limitations/degridation for KZfaq... buuuuuuuuut if you're allowed more [some dependent on episode content]: News || Podcast || Paranormal || Conspiracy || Space. Those are pretty big and may help expand your audience.

I love Avi’s attitude! He doesn’t care what mainstream science thinks. However if he hasn’t done so already he should try and speak with people like Grusch who know what the government knows about the nature of UAP. It might help him know where to look.

The anomalous isotopic distribution for several elements in the New Guinea samples as well as those in Gary Nolan's samples is intriguing to me...whether they are technological or naturally occurring. Ive asked physicists I know but they're mainly materials amd condensed matter exoerimentalists...but what happens when neutron stars explode? Im unsure what inhibits the neutron to proton conversions in these stars...what inhibits the weak force? And when they explode can we get a nonequilibrium distribution of neutrons distributed in nuclides, giving these weird distributions...? damn, I wish iI was at Harvard...to ask these questions 😅

There are several guys getting videos of Fastmover UAP's. They cross the field of view in one second and aren't visible to the naked eye, traveling about Mach 2 or 3, no sonic boom, no noise, no air displacement. This clip starts with the Fastmover UAP going across the field of view in real-time, then slowed down to 1/10th the speed. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbVdqb2lq9nUYKs.html

Great interview but I have one disagreement, at 1:00:00. Testimonies are also evidence especially if in the car accident he describes, all testimonies come from experts and say the same thing. e.g., Nimitz. He himself says that the human eye is more sophisticated in some sense that most cameras. I understand his business is to collect new data, but I find it regrettable that he dismisses both pas data and testimonies.

We've had some fun with Elon but in all honesty, Elon goes against the wind as well and other than his future success in the not so far off future will probably involve launching satellites for the government and getting a good chunk of his income that way, I do think like-minded people should try and support each other and pair-up (at least in the form of community). Elon fought for his ideas and used his own fortune to fight for Free Speech and it's cost him so much in doing so, only to get thrown on the ground and dirt kicked in his face, being forced to suppress the freedom of speech that he spent billions to preserve, not to mention the compounding bullying he faces seemingly everywhere. I truly don't know what is going on with Elon and his statement of ETs but I'd love for him to publicly change the denial of ETs to NHI and see if he is willing to say that publicly. What I'm really getting at here is, there is an obvious suppression of information that is highly controlled and I'm sure no one knows more about the extent of this than Elon and I know he's got his own things to deal with but I believe Elon should consider jumping in to things like the Galileo project, as it's about finding truth and being openly transparent with the public- something I believe Elon would be on board with.

Science takes lots of time and money. He’s only got 1 observatory set up so far, so given how rare UAP events tend to be in any given location it makes sense that he hasn’t caught anything yet. Very frustrating for spectators, but that doesn’t mean that they’ve failed their mission. We just need to be patient.
