 Galileo Project Advancing UFO Detection with Global Sensor Network

Harvard physicist Avi Loeb and the Galileo Project aim to build a global sensor network for UFO detection.

Sensors will cover the entire sky, classifying objects and identifying potential anomalies.

Galileo's sensor system design is ambitious, including radar, passive receivers, acoustic sensors, and cameras.
