Project Overview - The Galileo Project is a scientific endeavor aimed at exploring the possibility of extraterrestrial life, distinct from government investigations driven by national security concerns [5][30] - The project utilizes artificial intelligence to scan the sky for UAP, sharing all findings openly [1] - The project has established the first Galileo observatory, testing instruments with plans for hundreds of copies in multiple locations [7] Technology and Methodology - The project employs a network of cameras and specialized sensors recording the entire sky 24/7 [7] - AI software is built from scratch to filter out known objects and identify anomalies [8] - Instrumentation monitors the entire electromagnetic spectrum, focusing on objects within the atmosphere [18] - Over five months, approximately half a million objects were collected and reconstructed with a 95% confidence level [24] UAP and National Security - The US government released a report confirming over 140 sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena in 2021 [3] - Congress has elevated UAP to a top national security concern, with sightings being routine but under-reported [26] - The US Department of Defense announced the Gremlin Project, similar to The Galileo Project but closed source [28] Scientific and Academic Perspective - The Galileo Project seeks to bring scientific rigor to UAP research, challenging the stigma and promoting open investigation [14][25] - The project is open source, publishing all findings in peer-reviewed papers [29][30]
