Overview of the Galileo Project

Abraham (Avi) Loeb, Frank H. Laukien. galileo.hsites.harvard.edu. February 13, 2023.

Loeb and Laukien outline instrument-based investigations of aerial phenomena, interstellar objects and meteor fragments. The paper describes a research programme and proposed methods, rather than a confirmed anomalous discovery.

Taking Aliens Seriously, with Avi Loeb

Avi Loeb, Paul Rand. news.uchicago.edu. May 6, 2021.

Loeb recalls Yuri Milner asking him to assess a nearest-star mission in May2015. This adds dates and setting to the same private-funder account in AfterOn40, without independent corroboration. Natural alternatives and uncertain artificial origin remain explicit. No government or classified-programme invitation is stated.

Could Solar Radiation Pressure Explain 'Oumuamua's Peculiar Acceleration?

Shmuel Bialy, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. October 26, 2018.

Bialy and Loeb develop a conditional radiation-pressure explanation for ’Oumuamua’s acceleration. Thin natural material and an artificial sail are discussed as possibilities; the calculations do not identify a spacecraft.

Will the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Detect Extra-Solar Planetesimals Entering the Solar System?

Amaya Moro-Martín, Edwin L. Turner, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. September 14, 2009.

Moro-Martín, Turner and Loeb model ordinary interstellar planetesimals using uncertain stellar populations, ejection, size distributions and albedo. Their historical 2009 forecast for inactive objects gives a conditional lifetime expectation of order 0.0001–0.01, described as about a 0.01%–1% chance of one detection. A larger narrow-size scenario is explicitly unsupported by cited constraints. Figures and tables are theoretical scenarios. Survey selection, activity, disruption and survival limit the forecast. No new detection, artificiality or experimental replication is established.

Avi Loeb on ‘Oumuamua, Aliens, Space Archeology, Great Filters, and Superstructures

Avi Loeb, Lucas Perry. futureoflife.org. July 9, 2021.

Loeb develops his interpretation of interstellar objects, possible technosignatures and future observations, while recounting scientific and academic conversations. Natural alternatives and missing data remain explicit. UAP and ‘Oumuamua are distinguished; no personal classified briefing or government invitation is supplied. Speculative probabilities and policy proposals are not completed tests.
