Description:
I sat down with Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, founder of the Galileo Project and former chair of Harvard’s astronomy department, to talk about his groundbreaking work searching for extraterrestrial tech. We dive into Oumuamua, his expeditions to retrieve possible interstellar debris from the ocean floor, the goals of the Galileo Project, and even get his thoughts on Bob Lazar and the Star Wars Initiative. This one goes deep.

TOPICS:
The first known interstellar traveler into our solar system came in October 2017, was flat, about the size of a football field, and was named “Oumuamua,” Hawaiian for “scout or leader in a battle.” The mystery object came cruising through interstellar space at 56,880 miles an hour not bound to our sun’s gravity. 

Without any evidence of ice for outgassing, it accelerated to 97,200 mph on its way out of our solar system. Harvard University astronomer Avi Loeb, Ph.D., hypothesizes Oumuamua was perhaps an intelligent probe or derelict craft of “artificial origin” from another civilization in — or beyond — the Milky Way galaxy.

- “It looked very weird” “no comet trail…it has an extreme shape..a flat shape and that is unusual”
- “we couldn’t take a photograph because it was the size of a football field”
- “space may have a lot of trash..non-functioning equipment”
- “it may be…a relay station for a communication system”
- “we should…collect more evidence”
- “it’s very likely that there were many civilizations..there are lots of locations..there could be tens of billions…”
- “we need to search for evidence of those”
