Welcome everybody to a phenomenal out of this universe episode with my good friends Professor Avi Loeb of Harvard University

and Harvard University PhD Dr. Eric Weinstein.

We are discussing the recent announcement by NASA of a blue ribbon

panel to study unidentified aerial phenomena which will be headed by passed into the

impossible guest Dr. David Spurgel who is the president of the Simon's Foundation and a

incredible intellect himself

So the announcement precipitated a decision by me to get my friends who have

been most vocal on this topic, Avi and Eric, to come together to discuss what is the nature of these phenomena not from the

perspective of what are they in deciding what they are but how do scientists go

about searching for these phenomena using the tools of modern astronomy and remote sensing and other tools technology and methods.

And then we also talk about the implications of this technology if it is real or if it is not real and real meaning not of this earth and it could be not of this earth and not necessarily be in the form of some form of technology that we could exploit or could exploit us or eat us as I'm often worried about or consumed by thinking about eating things since the pandemic started. But rather, you know, it could be an alien

garbage barge or something like that and what's interesting to me is is to note

the discovery that Hobby had really pushed forward with the Galileo Project,

which I was initially involved with due to time considerations and desire to really be

just passionate about the whole approach that I am not involved with them

going forward. I was involved with them in year one and it was very fruitful and important I think to see the project in the first year how from an external perspective I was

never in the research side but Eric is a member of the Galileo project research side.

Obviously Avi founded this Galileo project there'll be links and references to some of the topics we talked about, including a discovery possibly

of an alien civilization communication by a Chinese telescope, the detection by Avi, and confirmation by the Department of Defense,

I believe, of the first interstellar meteor that's splash down near Papua New Guinea.

You hear about Avi's exploits with billionaires and so forth.

And I'd like to stop by his porch when one of these billionaires stops by.
