I am planned to give a public presentation on a two -part American congress on Thursday 1 May at 11.30 am briefing about “Insight into non -Geïdentified Anomalous Phenomenen (UAP): Science, National Security and Innovation”, organized by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the Task Force about the Declassification and Federal Secrets – led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. The live-stream video is available here. The brilliant musician, Marshall Beck, suggested to Congress women Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-fla) that they take a photo with me in the middle, to illustrate that UAP interest is Bipartisan.
During my presentation I will argue for two facets of the scientific study of UAP. Firstly, it is necessary to allocate funds to collect new high -quality scientific data about UAP with ultramodern instruments that were not available in the past. Old UAP reports, such as those recently documentary In the national archives, limited data that cannot be verified. Because the air and oceans are not classified, it makes more sense to collect new and better data about millions of objects.
This is what the Galileo project is currently doing under my leadership. We assemble three observatories in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Nevada who will observe the entire heaven with infrared, optical, radio and audio sensors. The data is analyzed with artificial intelligence software that is looking for bijters with an unusual appearance or flight characteristics.
Our peer-reviewed paper on the first million objects imply that less than 3% of them are abnormal. Our ability to discover UAP outside the performance consumption of technologies made by people will be facilitated in the coming months, because we start operating multiple sensors separated by a few miles within each observatory. By viewing objects from multiple directions, we can measure their distance, speed and acceleration through triangulation. As soon as we use triangulation, we will be able to look for a real deviating from bijters.
Moreover, the Galileo Project The strives for a second Pacific Ocean Expedition in search of large pieces in the wreck of the interstellar meteor, IM1, spotted by US government satellites in 2014. Large pieces will enable us to identify the material and structure of the original object and to conclude whether it was natural or artificially originally. So far we have identified an unusual chemical composition for 10% of the millimeter format fragments that have been recovered from the IM1 site.
We are currently working on isotope analysis to check whether their relative quantities fall outside the range of materials for tanning systems. Because volatile elements were lost due to the melted atmosphere during the Airburst, our next expedition (contingent on finding a financier) intended to restore larger pieces that the fireball survived.
In one paper With my brilliant postdoc Morgan Macleod I showed that the unusual chemical composition of the millimeter-size bulbs that we have restored from IM1’s site could have been produced during the spaghettification of a rocky planet by Dwarf Star. Large pieces would help us check whether a natural origin of this type is preferred over a technological origin. If we are lucky to restore the core of IM1, we will easily discover whether IM1 was a rock or an interstellar gadget with buttons on it.
On January 2, 2025, the Minor Planet Center announced a new asteroid with the 2018 CN41 label, but less than 17 hours later, an editorial notification 2018 CN41 removed from the database because the object was not asteroid. There was also no evidence for a compassional tail around it. If 2018 CN41 is not asteroid nor a comet, what is it then? It turns out that it is a car.
In particular, it is the Tesla Roadster car, launched on 6 February 2018, as the Dummy load for the Falcon Heavy First Flight. This car is now running around the sun on the same eccentric job reported for CN41 2018. This example raises the question of whether one of the interstellar objects in the inner solar system are interstellar cars?
Given the broad interest of the public in uap and interstellar objects, we must allocate billions of dollars to the scientific study of these different objects. The scientific community has already assigned this size of this size to the study of dark matter, without success. If we asked taxpayers what question is more urgent, they will probably choose the side of UAP. If all UAP was ultimately made by people, this conclusion would still be important for national security. A total investment of several billion dollars is only a fraction of one percent of the annual defense budget.
The second point that I will argue in my presentation stems from what I have noticed in a newspaper interview Last night: “If the US government has data or materials about what is outside the solar system, this would be my privilege to help them find out.” Knowing what the US government owns can save time for the Galileo Project Research Team. Government officials have no time or the expertise to analyze astrophysical data.
My daily job as a astrophysicist and head of the Galileo project is to find out if there are other resident civilizations in our cosmic neighborhood. In a podcast interview today I was asked: “What should you be remembered for?” My answer was: “For my future work. The best yet to come.” Enrico Fermi’s question: “Where is everyone?” Must be answered by collecting evidence with a sense of curiosity and humility.
The encounter of interstellar gadgets would revive the feeling of awe that felt Moses in the witness of the miracle of the burning bush that was not consumed. In contrast to the premature statement of Friedrich Nietzsche: “God is dead”, who come across technological miracles made by an advanced alien intelligence, could suggest that “super man is alive”. Despite our Wishful Thinking, the earth may not be the technological center of the universe. Welcome to the next Copernican Revolution.
