'Galileo Project' to thoroughly search for spacecraft of extraterrestrial technology civilization using AI started



About the small body 'Oumuamua (A / 2017 U1)', which was confirmed to haveflown from outside the solar system for the first time in the history of astronomical observation, some astronomers, including Professor Avi Loeb, who also served as the director of the astronomy department at Harvard University. The theory is that it is a spaceship of an extraterrestrial civilization. The 'Galileo Project ' has been launched to elucidate unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) such as'Oumuamua by making full use of the latest equipment and artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

You can understand what kind of celestial body Oumuamua is by reading the following article.

A major feature of'Oumuamua is its elongated shape, which can be compared to a 'cigar-shaped' shape, and its total length is estimated to be 800 m at maximum. Some people who said that 'the identity of an unidentified flying object (UFO) is an extraterrestrial civilization's spacecraft' argued that 'a cigar-shaped UFO exists', and this Oumuamua is the earth. It was pointed out that it might be a spaceship made by an extraterrestrial civilization.

Professor Loeb is one of the people who insisted on the theory that 'Oumuamua = a spaceship made by extraterrestrial civilization' and is also the organizer of the Galileo project that was launched this time.

The Galileo project has three main objectives.

◆ 1: Take and analyze high-resolution images of UAP
Professor Loeb said that if you take a picture of the surface of a human-sized object one mile away with millions of pixels, is it human-made, or is it an extraterrestrial civilization? It claims that it is possible to distinguish whether it was made or not.

UAP includes unidentified phenomena in the atmosphere as well as in space. The Galileo project will analyze high-resolution images and radio wave data with AI in order to exclude 'technical objects made by humans' such as birds, balloons, drones, and artificial satellites from UAP. Professor Loeb said, 'If an extraterrestrial civilization is using a UAP to explore the Earth, we have to think that the UAP has acquired passive radar, optics, and infrared technology. In that case, it's even higher. You will be systematically studying with a multi-wave detector that is integrated in performance. '



◆ 2: Exploration and detailed investigation of interstellar objects such as'Oumuamua
The Galileo project will discover and monitor interstellar objects such as Oumuamua based on astronomical observation data conducted

at the NSF Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. In addition, Professor Loeb says that he will collaborate with interested space agencies and venture companies on missions to predict the orbits of interstellar objects and photograph their appearance.

◆ 3: Search for spacecraft of extraterrestrial civilization
Professor Loeb said, 'Discovering satellites of 1 m or less that may be exploring the Earth in polar orbits several hundred kilometers from the Earth will be feasible by observations by the NSF Vera C. Rubin Observatory. But if the extraterrestrial civilization used radar, optical, and infrared technologies, it might need a very sophisticated large telescope, 'said the Galileo Project. , Object recognition and filtering by AI, and by making full use of the latest astronomical observation technology, we will search for spacecraft of extraterrestrial civilization. '



'The purpose of the Galileo project is to make the search for technical traces of extraterrestrial civilization the mainstream of transparent, verifiable and systematic scientific research, rather than accidental observations or anecdotal legends. is it. this project is not an electromagnetic signal related to extraterrestrial technology equipment, in terms of searching for a physical object, traditional search for extraterrestrial intelligence and is intended to complement the ' it said ..

It has already been concluded from observational data that Oumuamua is a fragment of a comet that was exposed to cosmic rays while traveling between planets and lost much of its surface water, and it is possible that intelligent life forms are involved. Almost denied.
