Summary
In a recent bombshell scientific paper, Harvard astronomer and head of the Galileo Project Avi Loeb joined forces with Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to make the argument for "physical constraints" they say can be applied to unidentified aerial phenomena.
"Claims of objects exceeding the transonic to supersonic range," the authors argue in the paper, should be studied based on the "known physics of ionization, radar reflectivity, temperature, sonic booms, and fireballs." Avi Loeb joins us to discuss this unique paper, as well as the equally novel collaboration that produced it, and how it could provide significant benefits to future studies involving UAP, on this week's episode of The Micah Hanks Program.

| 1:07.9 | But something that really captured my attention in recent days was the publication of a |
| 1:13.5 | new science paper by a friend of the program, and the director of the DOD's all-domain |
| 1:20.3 | anomaly resolution office, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, yes, that co-author is Dr. Avi Loeb, Harvard |
| 1:26.9 | professor of astronomy, and also the director of the Galileo project. |
| 1:32.6 | Avi Loeb is going to join us to give us all the details on this extraordinary paper, |
| 1:37.9 | where he and Dr. Kirkpatrick have now teamed up, they've put their minds together and they're |
| 1:42.5 | trying to find ways to use known physics to place constraints on UAP. |
| 1:48.0 | What does that mean? |
| 1:49.4 | Well really it all comes down to this for years. |
