On Thursday, May 1 at 11:30AM ET, I am scheduled to give a public presentation at a bipartisan U.S. congressional briefing on “Understanding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP): Science, National Security & Innovation,” hosted by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the Task Force on the Declassification and Federal Secrets — led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. The live-stream video will be available here. The brilliant musician, Marshall Beck, suggested to congresswomen 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 advocate for two facets of the scientific study of UAP. First, it is imperative to allocate funds to collect new high-quality scientific data on UAP with state-of-the-art instruments that were not available in the past. Old UAP reports, such as those recently documented in the National Archives contain limited data that cannot be verified. Since the sky and oceans are not classified, it makes more sense to collect new and better data on millions of objects. This is what the Galileo Project is currently doing under my leadership. We are assembling three observatories in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Nevada that will observe the full sky with infrared, optical, radio and audio sensors. The data is analyzed with artificial intelligence software that search for outliers with unusual appearance or flight characteristics. Our peer-reviewed paper on the first million objects imply that less than 3% of them are anomalous. Our ability to discover UAP outside the performance envelope of human-made technologies will be facilitated in the coming months, as we start operating multiple sensors separated by a few miles within each observatory. Viewing objects from multiple directions would allow us to measure their distance, speed and acceleration through triangulation. As soon as we employ triangulation, we will be able to search for truly anomalous outliers.
