WEBVTT

1
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, hey, how you do it. I'm gonna have a seat.

2
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk a little bit. I have to consider Earth

3
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Lanes very arrogant, especially the scientists of our planet. And

4
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 1>I say this because other than the UFO community, which

5
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>many people claim are crazy individuals and are seeing things,

6
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>none of our scientists are, you know, except for a handful,

7
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>are even considering that there's other civilizations that are in

8
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 1>our cosmos, in our close to us in any manner whatsoever,

9
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and that there's no you know, space, there's no aircraft,

10
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>there's no spacecraft, there's nothing that is interacting with Earth

11
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.799
<v Speaker 1>Lanes at all. And given them amount of star systems

12
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 1>and habitable plants that there are in our neighborhood with

13
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 1>likely civilizations, to consider us the only one in our

14
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>solar system, it's just crazy. And I'm presenting this thought

15
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 1>to you because my guest today is doctor av Loebe,

16
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>who is returning to the program to discuss his decipherment

17
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>analysis of what he believes was a crash probe in

18
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 1>the Pacific Ocean off the islands of New Guinea approximately

19
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the year was approximately twenty ten, and he gets so

20
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 1>much gruff for this from his contemporaries from others in

21
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>this field of astronomy, and it just flabbergasted me, because

22
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like no one has any creativity anymore,

23
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 1>no one has any consideration of other thoughts. I mean we,

24
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we've been looking for evidence of ets for

25
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 1>decades and I think in many cases it's just under

26
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>our nose in the form of probes. This is what

27
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>lobes all about. And we've had them on the show

28
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>a number of times, UAPs which are here currently, and

29
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>this is another huge question. Are they hiding in volcanoes?

30
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Are they under the ocean. There's a whole phenomenon of

31
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 1>UAP's UFOs coming out of the ocean. And then, of

32
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 1>course the other side of it is when we had

33
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Marion Rednick on the program, he had actually seen and

34
00:02:54.039 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>had heard about UAPs coming through various stargates where some

35
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 1>through some kind of an energy exchange. The there's an opening,

36
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the craft flies through it and it's shot off into

37
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>another location within a few seconds. But it's too it's

38
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>too fantastic we've gotten. And I'm not talking about me,

39
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>because you guys know where I'm at on this stuff.

40
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for more openness. I'm looking for more access

41
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 1>to this data. I think they They're all over the place.

42
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I think that our government not only is covering this up,

43
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 1>I think they're scared shitless. I think they are so

44
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>overwhelmed with these UAPs. And now what do we get

45
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 1>in New Jersey, on the and on the Eastern Seaboard.

46
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 1>We get very advanced drones. And some people are saying, no,

47
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 1>those are Chinese droneses are of American, These are European drones.

48
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>No way.

49
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Some of these drones. Drones have extremely sophisticated propulsion systems

50
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 1>and they can do all kinds of weird things that

51
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>look more like a UFO or UAP than they do

52
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 1>a drone. But what I'm trying to say is for

53
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 1>our scientific community to just summarily dismiss this is a

54
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 1>huge mistake, and it's arrogant. It's tremendously arrogant, and it

55
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>really really bothers me. And so today we're going to

56
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 1>talk about not only interstellar probes to Earth. We're gonna

57
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 1>talk about evidence of space junk. And this is another

58
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 1>topic that is routinely discussed in any of av Loab's books.

59
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>If you saw, if you read Extraterrestrial, if you read

60
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>his first book, Interstellar. He talks about space junk and

61
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>how a civilization perhaps a billion years old, broke up

62
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>or they sent probes out and the probes, their propulsion

63
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>systems faded and they're just floating probes and stuff like

64
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>we would consider plastics and things like that, but in

65
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the case of an advanced culture would probably be exotic

66
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 1>metals or exotic composites of some kind that were resilient

67
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>to you know, vacuum, the vacuumust air, vacuumus space. So

68
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I'm just disappointed and those who in

69
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>the scientific community who branch out people like doctor John Mack,

70
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>who I knew through the various events that talks he

71
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 1>gave in San Francisco. This is a guy who's a

72
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>classically trained Harvard psychiatrist, doctor John Mack, and he was

73
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 1>so fascinated when he encountered a number of patients who

74
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 1>claimed to have contact with aliens, and in this case

75
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 1>it was abductions. They were removed from their beds, their homes,

76
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>in some cases their cars, brought up into a craft

77
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 1>and examined. And for a long time, many many years

78
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>after that book, deduc did people were freaking out that

79
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>this is something that was a horrible traumatic experience. Well

80
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>it is somewhat of a traumatic experience, but what John

81
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Mack was able to report in his study is that

82
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>many of these people had very positive experience and that

83
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 1>the offer Wall types of the ets, the aliens, if

84
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 1>you want to call them, that, actually were very forward

85
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 1>in their presentation and in their greeting and in their

86
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>meetings with these people and let them know that what

87
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 1>they were doing was benefiting a higher good. And then

88
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in some cases they were given some information about where

89
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 1>their star system was, how the crafts worked, things like that.

90
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And so we don't hear about this unless you are

91
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>seeking it. It's very rarely in the news. The government

92
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>is totally perplexed on what to do about this. And

93
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 1>again I started this stream of consciousness by stating that

94
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.839
<v Speaker 1>I think the government I'm talking about the United States

95
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>government and likely European government as well, are overwhelmed with this.

96
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 1>They cannot they don't know what to do about it,

97
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and there's no way around it. They are faced with

98
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>it to the point now where they've been squelching it

99
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:37.920
<v Speaker 1>for so many decades and covering it up that I

100
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>think at some point It's just, you know, our brothers

101
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 1>and sisters from whatever planetary system are just going to say, hey,

102
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>we are here, this is our craft. We come from

103
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>planet X and so forth and so on. I mean,

104
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty simplistic, but why not.

105
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Why not?

106
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Remember we've had a number of guests on this program

107
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>who have been talking about what the Department of Defense,

108
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>what NASA has done over the years, and that is

109
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:11.959
<v Speaker 1>to ask priests, rabbis, and others in the religious sector

110
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.959
<v Speaker 1>what their opinion would be if there was a first contact,

111
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 1>if there was a revelation that there are aliens that

112
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>are here, that they want to get to know us

113
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 1>better and they want to welcome us to their collective.

114
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Why ask priests? Why ask people from a dying organization

115
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>known as the church? Why don't you talk to somebody

116
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>who is in social media, somebody who is in the

117
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>face of the of the of the millions of people

118
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, do a survey, Ask ask Facebook, ask Instagram,

119
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 1>ask Yahoo. What do you think? How would you react,

120
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 1>what would your opinion be, what would you how would

121
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.919
<v Speaker 1>you feel? Anyhow, we are going to explore this question

122
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:08.039
<v Speaker 1>of extraterrestrial interstellar probes orbiting Earth now crashing through our atmosphere,

123
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.679
<v Speaker 1>burning up and being collected. And we'll hear details from

124
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>doctor Lobe today on that and also the question of

125
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:22.639
<v Speaker 1>first contact. So today's program is evidence for interstellar probes

126
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to Earth, and my guest is doctor av Lobe. Hey,

127
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 1>spring is just around the corner where there. It's going

128
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to be getting better and better as we continue on

129
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 1>into the year, and this means it's time to think

130
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>about getting away on a vacation. Earth Ancients has the

131
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>best tours you could ever imagine, and we are talking

132
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>about Turkey in summer June twenty second through July second.

133
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:55.039
<v Speaker 1>This is our second annual tour to this amazing city.

134
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 1>We all land and meet in Istanbul and for eleven

135
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>days we tour the most amazing sights in all of

136
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Middle East. We're talking the underground city of darren Kuru, Kappadocia,

137
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Go Beckley Tepee and even Carahan Teppy. This is a

138
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>place that is very much off limits to a lot

139
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>of people except Earth Ancients. Our tours are literally half

140
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 1>fifty percent less than what you typically would pay for

141
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>an all inclusive Lemon Dade tour. With our host Mohammed

142
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:34.919
<v Speaker 1>Imbraheim and a variety of archaeologists, geologists and scientists who

143
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>are providing information on the latest discoveries in this part

144
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>of the world. The Earth Ancient's second annual Turkey Tour

145
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>is not to be missed. For the full eight itinerary

151
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 1>many years and they are a blast. Earth Agents dot

152
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>Com Forward slash Tours come out and join us. I

153
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:50.559
<v Speaker 1>don't know, so it's great to have doctor Avilove with us.

154
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>If you don't remember who he is, you have to remember,

155
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>but let me just give you a reminder. He is

156
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the author of Extraterrestrial, a fascinating book that we discussed

157
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.879
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago. He followed that up with a

158
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>wonderful second book, which was called Interstellar, and we're gonna

159
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.559
<v Speaker 1>learn a little bit about that. Also, the Omaha maua

160
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 1>fragment or object that was cited off of our our planet.

161
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.639
<v Speaker 1>We discussed a great deal about that and what we

162
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 1>were going to talk about today is also a fascinating

163
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 1>but I want to first before I do that, bring

164
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>alv in. Alvi, great to see you again. Welcome back

165
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.080
<v Speaker 1>to Earth, Ancients.

166
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for having me. In fact, I just signed a

167
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>contract with MIT Press. I'm working on my next book

168
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 2>which will be about the expedition that we will discuss

169
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 2>to retrieve the materials from the crash site of the

170
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.240
<v Speaker 2>first interstellar meteor.

171
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Wonderful, wonderful. Okay, let let's get right into it. This

172
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:58.759
<v Speaker 1>meteor hit the ocean in twenty fourteen in the Pacific Ocean,

173
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:04.840
<v Speaker 1>in the New Guinea region of the ocean. So when

174
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>we left off, you were looking for the fans to

175
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:12.399
<v Speaker 1>do a analysis. You're going to dredge the bottom, give us

176
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.879
<v Speaker 1>the highlights. Let's get into it. What happened.

177
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, first thing is I had a zoom call with

178
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:23.000
<v Speaker 2>chars Hoskinson and he said you have the money and

179
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 2>that was one and a half million dollars needed to

180
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:26.360
<v Speaker 2>do the expeditions.

181
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Well then a half million dollars to do the dredging.

182
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because we had to spend two weeks on site.

183
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>The location was identified by US government CENSORCES. The fireball

184
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.960
<v Speaker 2>that released about one percent of the Hiroshima atomic bomb

185
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.480
<v Speaker 2>energy when an object roughly half a meter in size

186
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 2>collided with Earth at a very high speed. And the

187
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.080
<v Speaker 2>reason that it was interesting for US is because the

188
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.519
<v Speaker 2>velocity of this object was so large relative to the

189
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Sun that it was not bound by gravity to the

190
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.919
<v Speaker 2>Solar System. It came from outside the Solar System, and

191
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>therefore it's the first recognized interstellar meteor. It appeared in

192
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:14.600
<v Speaker 2>a catalog that NASA compiles of meteors that the US

193
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:19.639
<v Speaker 2>government sensors on satellites identify because the US is trying

194
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to monitor any launch of ballistic missiles from the heat

195
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.200
<v Speaker 2>that they generate. But every now and then there is

196
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.320
<v Speaker 2>an object that produces an explosion, and in fact, every

197
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.679
<v Speaker 2>year there is an object the size of a person

198
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:39.559
<v Speaker 2>that collides with Earth and results in an atomic explosion

199
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.919
<v Speaker 2>in our atmosphere, basically as much energy as released by

200
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the Hiroshima bomb, and we don't talk about it. It

201
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.919
<v Speaker 2>doesn't appear in the news because those explosions usually happen

202
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.759
<v Speaker 2>high at a very high altitude, and they don't damage

203
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.559
<v Speaker 2>anything on the ground, and you know, most of the

204
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>time they occur above the oceans, twenty one percent of

205
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.200
<v Speaker 2>the surface of the Earth is not. But in this

206
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:09.519
<v Speaker 2>case the object was exploded only twenty kilometers above the

207
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:15.360
<v Speaker 2>ocean surface, and that meant that it was unusually tough,

208
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.519
<v Speaker 2>tougher than all other meteors reported in the NASA catalog,

209
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.000
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of them, and moreover, even outside the Solar System.

210
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 2>It was moving at sixty kilometers per second, faster than

211
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.639
<v Speaker 2>ninety five percent of the stars in the vicinity of

212
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 2>the Sun. And so I was wondering whether it's a

213
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:40.120
<v Speaker 2>voyager like meteor or you know. On January second this year,

214
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.919
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, an amateur astronomer recognized a point of

215
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.559
<v Speaker 2>light coming close to Earth and classified it as a

216
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:54.120
<v Speaker 2>near Earth object, an asteroid. And as soon as that

217
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.559
<v Speaker 2>was reported, a few scientists realize, actually, this object has

218
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>the orbital parameters of the Tesla Roads, the car that

219
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk launched in twenty eighteen as a dummy payload

220
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>on the Falcon Heavy. So it was not an asteroid.

221
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 2>It was actually a technological object the car, and maybe

222
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.799
<v Speaker 2>this meteor from a decade ago was also technological, maybe

223
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 2>some space trash. So I wanted to check that. So

224
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.759
<v Speaker 2>I announced our intention to go on an expedition, and

225
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 2>then came the funding and we had an exceptional team

226
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 2>on a ship called the Silver Star that we stopped.

227
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>You one second, a can you explain why we should

228
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 1>care about what you defined as an interstellar object versus

229
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:51.519
<v Speaker 1>just a meteor that we must be bombarded constantly by meteors?

230
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.360
<v Speaker 1>This is interstellar, which is a whole different definition. Give

231
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.480
<v Speaker 1>us a little background.

232
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:01.639
<v Speaker 2>On that, right, So, never before was an object colliding

233
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 2>with Earth identified as coming from outside the Solar System,

234
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:09.680
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, we are bombarded by rocks from the

235
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.039
<v Speaker 2>main asteroid belt. You know, there is a region of

236
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.079
<v Speaker 2>the Solar System where there are plenty of rocks leftover

237
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 2>from the formation of the time of the Solar System,

238
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:27.039
<v Speaker 2>but also as a result of collisions among various proto planets.

239
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>And then we see that in fact, with the web

240
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:34.720
<v Speaker 2>telescope very recently, rocks all the way down to ten

241
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:39.680
<v Speaker 2>meters were identified just from the heat that they emit

242
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.240
<v Speaker 2>with the web telescope that is extremely sensitive, and so

243
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:47.400
<v Speaker 2>we see this reservoir of rocks in our backyard. It's

244
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>just like when you own a home, you have a backyard.

245
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes if you're not in a city and you can

246
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.359
<v Speaker 2>find rocks there, so we have that as part of

247
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the Solar System. These are familiar objects and they are

248
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>triggering every now and then a meteor appearance in our

249
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.240
<v Speaker 2>sky when they collide with Earth as the Earth moves

250
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:12.839
<v Speaker 2>around the Sun. So these are regular occurrences. What was

251
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.599
<v Speaker 2>specially about this one is the object was moving so

252
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>fast relative to the Sun that it cannot be bound

253
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 2>to the Solar System. It must have arrived from outside

254
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.480
<v Speaker 2>because gravity is not strong enough for the Sun to

255
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 2>trap it. And so that was the first time we

256
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.839
<v Speaker 2>noticed a meteor reported with such a high speed, and

257
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:38.119
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to check whether it's potentially technological in origin.

258
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Just imagine voyager leaving the Solar System and eventually colliding

259
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:46.240
<v Speaker 2>with another planet. It would appear as a meteor. So

260
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:50.160
<v Speaker 2>we went there and we used the sled with magnets

261
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 2>on both sides. We placed it on the ocean floor,

262
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.319
<v Speaker 2>which is about a mile deep at that location, and

263
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>then we went back and forth twenty six times across

264
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.839
<v Speaker 2>the region of about seven miles where the explosion took place.

265
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:10.240
<v Speaker 2>And then we recovered magnetic particles that were very different

266
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 2>from the background sand, and then looked like molten droplets

267
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.640
<v Speaker 2>potentially from a meteor, eight hundred and fifty of them,

268
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:24.960
<v Speaker 2>and I brought the materials back to the laboratory of

269
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.200
<v Speaker 2>my colleague at Harvard University is stein Jacobson, and we

270
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.880
<v Speaker 2>also analyzed them at the Brooker Corporation in Berlin with

271
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.759
<v Speaker 2>an X ray fluorescence analyzer. But at any event, in

272
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.519
<v Speaker 2>stein Jacobson's lab, we studied the composition, the chemical composition

273
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 2>of those spherals, and we found that eighty percent of

274
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:51.039
<v Speaker 2>them belonged to materials from the solar system that was

275
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 2>seen before, but then twenty percent looked different. And then

276
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>out of those half have a chemical composition that does

277
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:07.960
<v Speaker 2>not resemble solar system materials. And those are the ones

278
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 2>that we flagged as potentially from outside the solar system.

279
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:17.559
<v Speaker 2>They had a very high abundance of beryllium, lanthanum, uranium,

280
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:24.759
<v Speaker 2>and then we call them Belao spherals or fragments. And

281
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.400
<v Speaker 2>what we are planning to do next I just met

282
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:34.880
<v Speaker 2>with stein Jacobson in his research assistant Eugenia Young, and

283
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I received funding for us to continue to work for

284
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:41.240
<v Speaker 2>the next twelve months where we will look at the

285
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 2>isotopes that make those unusual fragments and try to figure

286
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.839
<v Speaker 2>out their age, for example, because if we can date them,

287
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.880
<v Speaker 2>then we can tell conclusively whether they came from the

288
00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Solar System or outside of the Solar System, because any

289
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 2>material from another star would have a different age. And

290
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.160
<v Speaker 2>the way to tell the age is by using isotopes

291
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.440
<v Speaker 2>that decay after some time, and from that you can

292
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.400
<v Speaker 2>use them as clocks. So that's what we are planning

293
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.119
<v Speaker 2>to do in the coming months. But in addition to that,

294
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.839
<v Speaker 2>we want to find bigger fragments, bigger pieces of the

295
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:24.519
<v Speaker 2>original object by having a second expedition, and that will

296
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.559
<v Speaker 2>cost six and a half million dollars because now we

297
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:31.480
<v Speaker 2>will need to put a robot, a remotely operated vehicle

298
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 2>on the ocean floor with a video feed. You know,

299
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:38.119
<v Speaker 2>previously we did it blindly. We collected materials without seeing

300
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.279
<v Speaker 2>what we are collecting. But now we want the robot

301
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:46.960
<v Speaker 2>to actually pick up pieces in the region that look interesting.

302
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.240
<v Speaker 2>And so at the moment I'm seeking funding for this,

303
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:54.559
<v Speaker 2>we need to make a down payment. We have a

304
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:57.079
<v Speaker 2>ship that is ready for us to use in August

305
00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, but we need to put a down

306
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.759
<v Speaker 2>payment of a million dollars and I'm waiting for a thunder.

307
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Any person that comes forward to fund this could come

308
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:13.000
<v Speaker 2>with us to the expedition site and see what we find.

309
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 2>We can give that person priority being first to see

310
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:17.079
<v Speaker 2>what we are finding.

311
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh, they can come along on the ship. Yes, oh wonderful.

312
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any of course, it's hard to tell

313
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:28.880
<v Speaker 1>the original dimension of this. I'm just going to call

314
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 1>it a probe or a meteor. But as you're I mean,

315
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>what do you suspect is this another amount mala?

316
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:42.400
<v Speaker 2>No, it's a smaller object or moa was a different

317
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:47.799
<v Speaker 2>object that came within a sixth of the Earth's sun separation.

318
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.920
<v Speaker 2>It didn't collide with Earth. It was just passing by,

319
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:53.599
<v Speaker 2>and it was much bigger. It was one hundred meters

320
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 2>in size and looked very strange because the amount of

321
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.920
<v Speaker 2>sunlight that was reflected from it changed by a factor

322
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 2>of ten as it was stumbling, and so the most

323
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:06.920
<v Speaker 2>likely shape that it had was that of a pancake,

324
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.720
<v Speaker 2>a flat object, a disc. So that was a different object,

325
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.799
<v Speaker 2>also interstellar, because it was moving faster than needed to

326
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 2>escape from the Sun's gravity. This object, based on the

327
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.119
<v Speaker 2>amount of light that it generated in the explosion, we

328
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.799
<v Speaker 2>can say that it was at least half a meter

329
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:30.200
<v Speaker 2>in size, much smaller than but at least half a meter.

330
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:35.480
<v Speaker 2>We know that half a meter of it evaporated probably

331
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:38.960
<v Speaker 2>during the explosion, but whether it had a bigger core

332
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:41.599
<v Speaker 2>or not, we don't know. For that, we need to

333
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:44.079
<v Speaker 2>go to the site and look at the wreckage there.

334
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 2>And you know, if these kind of sizes are the

335
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:51.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of spacecraft that we launched in the past. If

336
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 2>you think about Voyager one, Verger two, Pioneer ten, Pioneer eleven,

337
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.240
<v Speaker 2>New Horizons, you know, these are spacecraft making their way

338
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.759
<v Speaker 2>out of the Solar System, and they were roughling in

339
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:07.400
<v Speaker 2>this boardpark of size you know of older meters and

340
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.000
<v Speaker 2>therefore you know, on the other hand, if you think

341
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 2>about that was bigger than even Starship, the biggest rocket

342
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 2>that we are planning to use. Uh And so what

343
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:25.000
<v Speaker 2>was is still unresolved. I tend to think that it

344
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:30.799
<v Speaker 2>may have been, for example, an empty trash bag object

345
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>like a very thin film that maybe was torn apart

346
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:38.559
<v Speaker 2>from a bigger structure. Maybe it's a broken piece of

347
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 2>some megastructure like a Dyson sphere that will break up

348
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 2>if if the star that that it surrounds evolves and

349
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 2>eventually breaks it apart. So to me could have been

350
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 2>space trash from another civilization. But you know their trash

351
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.720
<v Speaker 2>is out, sure it will tell us something important. So

352
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:07.119
<v Speaker 2>actually it's very difficult to observe anymore any longer because

353
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.279
<v Speaker 2>it's already very far away. But the Ruben observed there

354
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 2>will be a new observatory in Chile called the Rubin

355
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Observatory that will employ a camera with three point two

356
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:22.240
<v Speaker 2>gigapixels this year, and we'll start to survey the southern

357
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.000
<v Speaker 2>sky every four nights, and it could find and more

358
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 2>and more like object every few months given its sensitivity.

359
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 2>So I very much look forward to finding family members

360
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 2>often more and more. You see. The point is mainstream

361
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:43.559
<v Speaker 2>scientists can deny that Tomomo was weird. They keep saying, oh,

362
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:46.160
<v Speaker 2>it's a rock of a type that we've never seen before,

363
00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 2>or they say maybe it's a dark comet, you know,

364
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>a comet that we can't see the commentary tale off.

365
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.079
<v Speaker 2>So it was propelled just by cometary tale that is invisible.

366
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:04.480
<v Speaker 2>But once we have good enough data about another object

367
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 2>like and we can look at it with the web telescope,

368
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:09.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, once we have a lot of data, it

369
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:14.880
<v Speaker 2>should be impossible to imagine things that don't exist. If

370
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.400
<v Speaker 2>it looks different than a rock, we will know it.

371
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.759
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I want to find out with the

372
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Rubin observatory data that will come soon.

373
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Why though your colleagues have such a problem with the

374
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:36.279
<v Speaker 1>possibilities of these being a et probe? Why is it?

375
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:39.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is getting out ahead avy and we're

376
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:43.319
<v Speaker 1>not even talking about UAPs, which we actually see. We're

377
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about these perhaps probes that, according to you, could

378
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:50.640
<v Speaker 1>be a billion years old.

379
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, it's because the significance of finding something like

380
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:58.079
<v Speaker 2>that would be great. And when I came up with

381
00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:01.839
<v Speaker 2>this suggestion about a lot of attention from the public,

382
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:05.839
<v Speaker 2>from the media, and you know in academia, the strongest

383
00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 2>force is jealousy. So when people see a lot of attention,

384
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:15.279
<v Speaker 2>they try to step on it, suppress it, say bad

385
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.440
<v Speaker 2>things about whoever talks about it. It's basically out of jealousy.

386
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:22.880
<v Speaker 2>They want the attention to themselves. They don't want anyone

387
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.160
<v Speaker 2>to pay attention to what someone else is talking about.

388
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:29.920
<v Speaker 2>That's the first order reason for why there is a

389
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 2>lot of pushback. It's basically jealousy for that attention. But

390
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the other thing is that you know, it's risky to

391
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.599
<v Speaker 2>talk about something new. It's much safer to talk about

392
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.400
<v Speaker 2>things that everyone talked about in the past. So you

393
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 2>would rather, as an expert, quote unquote, you would rather

394
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 2>say that anything in the sky must be a rock

395
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>rather than an extraterrestor technological gudget, because you're taking a

396
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:58.400
<v Speaker 2>risk if you were to consider that. But I should

397
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.200
<v Speaker 2>say that even the telescope that discovered the mmoire, you know,

398
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.400
<v Speaker 2>a few years later, it found another object that was

399
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:08.319
<v Speaker 2>pushed by reflecting sunlight, and that ended up being a

400
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.799
<v Speaker 2>rocket booster from nineteen sixty six. It's called twenty twenty

401
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:16.960
<v Speaker 2>s oh and so it found a technological object that

402
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:21.519
<v Speaker 2>NASA produced, and originally it thought maybe it is a

403
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 2>comet or a dark comet. So I think we should

404
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:27.720
<v Speaker 2>take it with a grain of salt. And what happens

405
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.599
<v Speaker 2>in the mainstream is that experts always want to argue

406
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.759
<v Speaker 2>that there is nothing new, that everything we see represents

407
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.640
<v Speaker 2>the past knowledge, because that's the way they maintain their

408
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:42.160
<v Speaker 2>stature in the field. Imagine if there is space trash

409
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:46.440
<v Speaker 2>from other civilizations out there, and what they called dark

410
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:52.240
<v Speaker 2>comets will end up being technological artifacts. Obviously, it will

411
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.000
<v Speaker 2>be embarrassing for them, so they will try to resist

412
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.759
<v Speaker 2>it as much as possible. And you know this is

413
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:02.880
<v Speaker 2>not new because yes day, actually we had a very

414
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:09.839
<v Speaker 2>interesting event celebration of art and science in my office

415
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:15.319
<v Speaker 2>at Harvard. One of the most accomplished sculptors in the

416
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:20.759
<v Speaker 2>United States, his name is Greg Wyatt, created a sculpture

417
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:26.079
<v Speaker 2>of Galileo Galilei looking at the four moons of Jupiter.

418
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:29.480
<v Speaker 2>That's what convinced Galileo that the Earth is not at

419
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.640
<v Speaker 2>the center of the universe because the moons are orbiting Jupiter,

420
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 2>not the Earth. And so he just made a sculpture,

421
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Greg Wyatt, and he brought it to my office. He

422
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.799
<v Speaker 2>donated it to me, and we had a beautiful event

423
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.200
<v Speaker 2>in which we also had a historian of science talk

424
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:53.680
<v Speaker 2>about the life and research of Galileo Galilei and her

425
00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:59.839
<v Speaker 2>name is Hannah Marcus and she's a professor in his

426
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 2>of science and she described how much, how many difficulties

427
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Galileo had proposing this. And you know, in nineteen ninety

428
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:12.880
<v Speaker 2>two the Vatican admitted that Galileo was right. That was

429
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 2>two decades after we reached the moon, and it's a

430
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:20.480
<v Speaker 2>bit late. In nineteen ninety two, you know, more than

431
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and fifty years after the death of Gallel

432
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.400
<v Speaker 2>to admit that he was right. So, you know, you

433
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.519
<v Speaker 2>can see it across the history of science many times

434
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.640
<v Speaker 2>over and over again, the ideas that turned out to

435
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:40.240
<v Speaker 2>be right were resisted very strongly by the mainstream at

436
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:45.039
<v Speaker 2>the time, simply because they represented new knowledge. But the

437
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 2>good news about physics is that it relies on evidence,

438
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 2>on data. It's a learning experience, and we should be

439
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 2>humble to pay attention to anomalist. You know, we should

440
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:01.359
<v Speaker 2>not dismiss them the way the experts quote and quote

441
00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:03.920
<v Speaker 2>are doing. We should look at anomalists because it's an

442
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.839
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to learn something new. That's all I'm saying. But

443
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:11.359
<v Speaker 2>in answer to your question, you know, it's it's a

444
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:18.240
<v Speaker 2>very common occurrence in the history of science for those

445
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.279
<v Speaker 2>proposed new ideas to get rebuffed and and and then

446
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.240
<v Speaker 2>even get personal attacks. You know, at least I'm not

447
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:34.039
<v Speaker 2>in house arrest, you know. The way, Galilo, We're going to.

448
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Take a short commercial break to allow our sponsors to

449
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.720
<v Speaker 1>identify themselves, and we will return shortly with my guest today,

450
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:47.079
<v Speaker 1>doctor Avy Lowe, community US from Harvard University and the

451
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Astronomy department will be right back.

452
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:04.960
<v Speaker 3>A culticate. Dame well love moment any skills. I'm making

453
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:14.200
<v Speaker 3>things so oh in my mind because I analyze their

454
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:22.200
<v Speaker 3>body language. I hear have change in their tongue. Maybe

455
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.240
<v Speaker 3>they hate me, so blame me.

456
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Astrophysicist doctor Avy Loeb is my guest today. He is

457
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:37.559
<v Speaker 1>coming to us from Harvard University in the United States,

458
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and he is discussing the analysis of this probe that

459
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:47.200
<v Speaker 1>landed in the ocean in I guess twenty fourteen, and

460
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:55.640
<v Speaker 1>most importantly, what was the chemical makeup of this foreign object? Well,

461
00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to mention that because when we first talked,

462
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:01.039
<v Speaker 1>you said that you refuse use to sign a non

463
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:04.799
<v Speaker 1>disclosure agreement. I think it was with the Department of Defense.

464
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.359
<v Speaker 1>This is many, many years ago when you started your work,

465
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:11.440
<v Speaker 1>and I would think that as a scientist, if you

466
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:17.799
<v Speaker 1>find exotic metals from this fragment, that would be something

467
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:21.599
<v Speaker 1>that would people would be rejoicing, you know.

468
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, I should say that I also initiated the

469
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Galileo project. I'm leading a Galileo project at Harvard University.

470
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:34.880
<v Speaker 2>We built an observatory that looks at the unidentified anomalous phenomena,

471
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 2>basically monitoring the entire sky in the infrared, optical, radio,

472
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:44.480
<v Speaker 2>and audio. And we already published a report about half

473
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:48.920
<v Speaker 2>a million objects in the first five months of the

474
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:52.759
<v Speaker 2>operation of this This is the commissioning data, and then

475
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:56.920
<v Speaker 2>we are using machine learning software artificial intelligence to analyze

476
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the data and look for any objects that are not familiar,

477
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:04.319
<v Speaker 2>that are different than drones, balloons, airplanes, you know things

478
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:09.199
<v Speaker 2>we know about satellites, and now we are I received

479
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:14.199
<v Speaker 2>funding to build the two additional observatories, one in Pennsylvania

480
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:18.320
<v Speaker 2>and the second one in Nevada, So altogether, by summer

481
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:22.679
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, we'll have three observatories operating and we

482
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.639
<v Speaker 2>will get data on millions of objects in the sky.

483
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 2>And even if one in a million happens to be extraterrestrial,

484
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:34.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, that would be big news. Now, of course

485
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:37.920
<v Speaker 2>it's possible. The US government has already some data and

486
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:43.119
<v Speaker 2>the materials the world testimony is in front of the

487
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:47.880
<v Speaker 2>US Congress about it. I would actually love to know

488
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:51.280
<v Speaker 2>about it because it will save me time. But my

489
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:54.079
<v Speaker 2>point is that you know, the sky is not classified,

490
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:58.199
<v Speaker 2>the oceans are not classified, and the astronomers have been

491
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.280
<v Speaker 2>looking at the sky for many centuries. So since Galileo

492
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:06.719
<v Speaker 2>using telescopes and so we don't need to rely on

493
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:11.280
<v Speaker 2>government regarding what lies outside the Solar system. You know,

494
00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:15.639
<v Speaker 2>their day job is national security. My day job is

495
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:18.400
<v Speaker 2>to figure out whether we are alone or not, whether

496
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:21.159
<v Speaker 2>there is a partner out there. And you know, we

497
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:26.840
<v Speaker 2>already know something that previous generations of scientists did not know,

498
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:30.360
<v Speaker 2>like Carl Sagan didn't know that. We know that at

499
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:33.239
<v Speaker 2>least a few percent of the stars in the Milky

500
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Way galaxy have a planet the mass of the Earth

501
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.599
<v Speaker 2>within the same separation as Earth is from the Sun.

502
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:44.119
<v Speaker 2>And that means that there are tens of billions of

503
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:47.519
<v Speaker 2>systems like the Earth and the Sun within the Milky

504
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Way Galaxy alone, and these systems, you know, if you

505
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:59.199
<v Speaker 2>just if you maintain a humble approach and say that

506
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:01.920
<v Speaker 2>we are not special or unique, and things like us

507
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:05.760
<v Speaker 2>could have existed, you know, billions of years ago, just

508
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.360
<v Speaker 2>because most of the stars are older than the Sun.

509
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:10.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, we know that most of the stars are

510
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:13.480
<v Speaker 2>billions of years other than the Sun, So there could

511
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:16.679
<v Speaker 2>have been things like us billions of years ago. And

512
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:22.400
<v Speaker 2>guess what the voyager spacecraft in a billionaeres will be

513
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.960
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of the Milky Way galaxy, So

514
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:29.159
<v Speaker 2>there was plenty of time for voyager like spacecraft, for

515
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:33.280
<v Speaker 2>space trash to come to our backyard from the other

516
00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:36.440
<v Speaker 2>side of the Milky Way, and they would accumulate. You know,

517
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:40.039
<v Speaker 2>these objects would accumulate just like plastics in the ocean

518
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:43.639
<v Speaker 2>over billions of ears, because they're bound by gravity to

519
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:44.719
<v Speaker 2>the Milky Way galaxy.

520
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:51.079
<v Speaker 1>When you consider, and I think you said twenty percent

521
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:56.159
<v Speaker 1>of the fragments you picked up from the ocean were unusual,

522
00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:59.760
<v Speaker 1>is it your belief that some of these are composites,

523
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.360
<v Speaker 1>exotic metals that may have been used for the body

524
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:06.159
<v Speaker 1>of a probe of some kind.

525
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, so we found the chemical composition, but it's challenging

526
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:15.440
<v Speaker 2>to say exactly what the origin was. Just imagine taking

527
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:18.519
<v Speaker 2>a laptop and throwing it to a fireplace. You will

528
00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:21.599
<v Speaker 2>get more than droplets of unusual composition, but you can't

529
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.000
<v Speaker 2>really tell that it was technological in origin until you

530
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:28.400
<v Speaker 2>find bigger pieces. And that's what we aim to do

531
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.800
<v Speaker 2>in the next expedition. That's exactly the reason. In order

532
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:33.960
<v Speaker 2>to figure out the nature of the object, we need

533
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:38.480
<v Speaker 2>bigger pieces that were not melted altogether, there is something

534
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:41.679
<v Speaker 2>left from the original object. So that's what we want

535
00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to find in the next expedition, and for that we

536
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:49.119
<v Speaker 2>need some seed funding right now.

537
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.280
<v Speaker 1>It needs some serious funding, So those of you listening

538
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:55.559
<v Speaker 1>will present some details at the end of this interview

539
00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:57.840
<v Speaker 1>to see what we can help can do to help

540
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:02.679
<v Speaker 1>Auv and his research. You mentioned artificial intelligence. Are you

541
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:06.360
<v Speaker 1>able to or one of your students able to actually

542
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:14.559
<v Speaker 1>program the intelligence to look and diagnose and perhaps retrieve

543
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:16.559
<v Speaker 1>data that you can't find.

544
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's exactly what we are doing because we have

545
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.000
<v Speaker 2>a very large data set and it would take a

546
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:25.880
<v Speaker 2>human a lot of time to go through it. So

547
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:30.280
<v Speaker 2>we are training the artificial the AI systems to look

548
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:37.559
<v Speaker 2>for objects that are familiar and label those that are unidentified,

549
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:41.559
<v Speaker 2>and this would be extremely important. Now. One of the

550
00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:49.440
<v Speaker 2>frontiers in AI right now is using data from different modalities,

551
00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:53.199
<v Speaker 2>different probes. So for example, the human brain is using

552
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:59.039
<v Speaker 2>data from vision and from audio and you and combines

553
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:02.840
<v Speaker 2>it to get a sense of what we see. And

554
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:05.280
<v Speaker 2>that is one of the frontiers right now in AI,

555
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:09.519
<v Speaker 2>combining data from different sensors, different modalities, and we have

556
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.599
<v Speaker 2>an acoustic detector audio, we have infred. We have optical

557
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and radio, so we hope to develop the tools that

558
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.239
<v Speaker 2>would allow us to use all of them together, and

559
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:24.599
<v Speaker 2>that's something we are doing now right now, with the

560
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:28.639
<v Speaker 2>team that works on AI. I should also mention that

561
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk commented that, you know, the humanity needs to

562
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:40.880
<v Speaker 2>go to Mars because we are probably alone. And after

563
00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:47.559
<v Speaker 2>the elections, Peter Till suggested he said on a podcast,

564
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:53.960
<v Speaker 2>nobody should bet against Elon mask nobody should bet against Elon,

565
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:58.159
<v Speaker 2>and the following day I placed the bet against Elon.

566
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:01.679
<v Speaker 2>I put it in a an essay on medium dot

567
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:05.079
<v Speaker 2>com where I said, look, the tens of billions of

568
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:11.119
<v Speaker 2>stars with an earthlike planet next to them, just in

569
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:14.039
<v Speaker 2>the Milky Way galaxy alone, and you know a trillion

570
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:17.000
<v Speaker 2>galaxies in the observable universe and many more beyond the

571
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:21.679
<v Speaker 2>cosmic horizon. I'm willing to bet that something like us

572
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:25.639
<v Speaker 2>existed billions of years ago in the Milky Way galaxy.

573
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:29.039
<v Speaker 2>And I'm willing to put one percent of my net

574
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:33.320
<v Speaker 2>worth forward. If Elon is willing to put one percent

575
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:36.519
<v Speaker 2>of his net worth into a pool of money, that

576
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:40.519
<v Speaker 2>will be four billion dollars, taking his par much less

577
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:45.159
<v Speaker 2>from my path but we can use that money to

578
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:51.559
<v Speaker 2>search for any technological debris that came from another civilization

579
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:54.199
<v Speaker 2>within the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. In fact,

580
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:59.199
<v Speaker 2>a week ago I published submitted a paper that describes

581
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:05.039
<v Speaker 2>what kind of a space telescope can find such interstellar

582
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:08.159
<v Speaker 2>objects as they come close to the Sun. Because the

583
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Sun is a lamp post that illuminates the darkness of space,

584
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:15.320
<v Speaker 2>and when an object comes close to the Sun, we

585
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:18.800
<v Speaker 2>can see it very clearly. So I designed the parameters

586
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:21.400
<v Speaker 2>of a space telescope. It just needs to have less

587
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:28.599
<v Speaker 2>than a meter in size a mirror. And if we

588
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:31.559
<v Speaker 2>were to have this bet with Elin within a decade,

589
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:34.159
<v Speaker 2>that should be able to report whether there are any

590
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:39.880
<v Speaker 2>technological artifacts among all the objects that come into the

591
00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Solar System to our vicinity. And you know, if we

592
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:49.760
<v Speaker 2>don't find anything, this amount of money, or four billion dollars,

593
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:52.599
<v Speaker 2>is actually less than was invested in the search for

594
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:55.920
<v Speaker 2>dark matter. And we haven't found the nature of dark

595
00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:59.280
<v Speaker 2>matters so yet. And I say that the public cares

596
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:02.679
<v Speaker 2>much more about whether we are a loan then what

597
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:05.199
<v Speaker 2>is the nature of dark metal. So it makes a

598
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:08.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of sense to put a similar amount of money

599
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:14.079
<v Speaker 2>in the search for technological debris, space trash, or even

600
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:18.000
<v Speaker 2>functioning devices. And so I very much hope that this

601
00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:20.320
<v Speaker 2>bet will get to the attention of Elon and that

602
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:22.800
<v Speaker 2>he will take me on it because I know exactly

603
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:26.039
<v Speaker 2>what needs to be done if we have the money. Yeah,

604
00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I love that, And I'm also willing to put another

605
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:32.639
<v Speaker 2>percent of my net worth to his account if we

606
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:33.679
<v Speaker 2>don't find anything.

607
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I love that challenge, Abby. I think

608
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:45.199
<v Speaker 1>it's fantastic. When we talked last, you had mentioned that

609
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:47.159
<v Speaker 1>one of yours you asked one of your students to

610
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:50.320
<v Speaker 1>go to the d D charts and find He found

611
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:55.800
<v Speaker 1>this twenty fourteen medior. Will the artificial intelligence, if you

612
00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:58.639
<v Speaker 1>program it in such a way, be able to look

613
00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:03.599
<v Speaker 1>at those charts and find other interstellar probes that have

614
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:05.480
<v Speaker 1>perhaps come into the atmosphere.

615
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that's exactly what the postoc of mine is

616
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:14.440
<v Speaker 2>now doing. A postoc within the Galileo project that I'm leading,

617
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:23.400
<v Speaker 2>develops AI models to identify interstellar objects from the data

618
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:31.039
<v Speaker 2>that will come to our attention from any telescope, any

619
00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:34.800
<v Speaker 2>including the Rubin Observatory. So he actually is using AI

620
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:37.800
<v Speaker 2>to improve the efficiency of finding such objects. Exactly to

621
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:38.599
<v Speaker 2>your point.

622
00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's excellent. I have to ask this, and you've

623
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.800
<v Speaker 1>already brought it up. We when we have so many

624
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:49.039
<v Speaker 1>of these UAP sidings un identified area of an hour

625
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:53.079
<v Speaker 1>of sightings, do you even consider or get involved or

626
00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:58.159
<v Speaker 1>does the Galileo Project even have a division that is like, okay,

627
00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:00.760
<v Speaker 1>this is very anomalous. We need to look a little

628
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:01.559
<v Speaker 1>closer here.

629
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So I'm getting reports from people every day. But

630
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:09.039
<v Speaker 2>in addition to that, for example, there was there were

631
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:15.119
<v Speaker 2>the reports about the New Jersey drones and about some

632
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:19.920
<v Speaker 2>other interesting sites. And we are basically looking at the

633
00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:24.039
<v Speaker 2>information that we receive and deciding whether to send a

634
00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:29.119
<v Speaker 2>set of instruments to detect whatever is being claimed if

635
00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:34.400
<v Speaker 2>it looks sufficiently intriguing. As you know, the White House

636
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:39.360
<v Speaker 2>suggested that the New Jersey drones were human made and

637
00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:43.679
<v Speaker 2>in fact fully understood, and so there was nothing unusual

638
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:47.360
<v Speaker 2>about those drones. It didn't come from an adversarial nation,

639
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:54.320
<v Speaker 2>according to an announcement that came from President Trump. But

640
00:44:55.760 --> 00:45:00.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and you know, these drones were also behaving

641
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:03.840
<v Speaker 2>like drones. There were not anomalous in the flight characteristics,

642
00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:09.119
<v Speaker 2>so that was not surprising. But there are reports all

643
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:13.239
<v Speaker 2>the time about unidentified anomalous phenomenon. If we have an

644
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.880
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to look for them, we will do that.

645
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you could adjust your telescopes to actually look

646
00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:25.400
<v Speaker 1>at something that's perhaps orbiting the planet.

647
00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, we have those observatories, the one that we have

648
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:33.920
<v Speaker 2>right now operating at Harvard University, but then two others

649
00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:37.440
<v Speaker 2>that we will set in Pennsylvania and Nevada. There might

650
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:41.039
<v Speaker 2>be a fourth one in Indiana and communication with people

651
00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:47.800
<v Speaker 2>that are willing to fund it. But these are stationary observatories.

652
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:52.840
<v Speaker 2>They are fixed in their location. However, we developed some

653
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:57.719
<v Speaker 2>set of cameras and sensors that we can deploy on

654
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.280
<v Speaker 2>a truck or bring with us us in a suitcase,

655
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:06.360
<v Speaker 2>and those are the ones that those mobile ones are

656
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:08.519
<v Speaker 2>the ones that we can carry to places that are

657
00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:09.440
<v Speaker 2>of great interest.

658
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:14.599
<v Speaker 1>Amazing, you know, it's funny. I think of what you're doing,

659
00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:20.320
<v Speaker 1>which is analyzing fragments from these meteors. Do you have

660
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a protocol to actually look at like impact craters to

661
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:26.880
<v Speaker 1>see if they're they could have fragments or even the

662
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.440
<v Speaker 1>meteors that we have that we know are metals. Are

663
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:32.360
<v Speaker 1>you going, I mean that's crazy. Of course you need

664
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a whole team or whole legion of researchers to support you.

665
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:37.280
<v Speaker 1>But is that a consideration.

666
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's a very interesting point. But the thing is

667
00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:46.280
<v Speaker 2>right now, we use the speed of the object to

668
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:49.000
<v Speaker 2>figure out whether it came from outside the Solar system.

669
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:51.679
<v Speaker 2>So if we just have a crater, we can't truly

670
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:55.519
<v Speaker 2>tell at what speed the object came because the size

671
00:46:55.559 --> 00:46:58.159
<v Speaker 2>of the crater is dictated by the amount of energy

672
00:46:58.280 --> 00:47:01.800
<v Speaker 2>carried by the object, and the energy depends on its

673
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:05.039
<v Speaker 2>mass and its speed. And since we have no knowledge

674
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:08.159
<v Speaker 2>the independent knowledge of the mass of the object, you

675
00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:11.159
<v Speaker 2>just know how much energy came in without knowing what

676
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:14.800
<v Speaker 2>was the speed. And because there is this the generesy,

677
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:19.559
<v Speaker 2>you can trade speed for more mass or vice versa.

678
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:26.239
<v Speaker 2>And so if we just have craters or meteorites that

679
00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:30.920
<v Speaker 2>are recovered, we can't really tell where they came from. However,

680
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:35.480
<v Speaker 2>if we examined, for example, interstellar meteors, where we had

681
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:38.800
<v Speaker 2>velocity information because the US government, for example, monitored them

682
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:42.000
<v Speaker 2>before they hit the air, so we know their speed

683
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:46.519
<v Speaker 2>or after they hit their in those cases, we know

684
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:51.239
<v Speaker 2>their interstellar and we analyze the materials from them that

685
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:56.760
<v Speaker 2>would allow us to find the fingerprints of interstellar meteors.

686
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:00.719
<v Speaker 2>So once we know what interstellar meteors look like in

687
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:05.119
<v Speaker 2>terms of their structure composition, then we can go back

688
00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:12.679
<v Speaker 2>to all these collections of meteorites and see which meteorites

689
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:15.639
<v Speaker 2>resemble those that we know are interstellar.

690
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:18.599
<v Speaker 1>You see, it sounds like a future project.

691
00:48:18.519 --> 00:48:21.639
<v Speaker 2>That's a future product. But before getting there, we need

692
00:48:21.679 --> 00:48:26.159
<v Speaker 2>to look at the ones that we have velocity information about,

693
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.800
<v Speaker 2>and like the meteor from twenty fourteen that we went after.

694
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:33.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's why this work is important, because if we

695
00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:38.280
<v Speaker 2>find the fingerprints of interstellar we will then look for

696
00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:42.079
<v Speaker 2>those fingerprints among the meteorites for which we don't know

697
00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:42.840
<v Speaker 2>the velocity.

698
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:47.039
<v Speaker 1>The speed is your theory that it's simply space junk

699
00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:50.280
<v Speaker 1>that you're looking for, or are you going out and

700
00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:55.159
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a lemon saying, we are also

701
00:48:55.280 --> 00:49:00.400
<v Speaker 1>looking for potential alien probes who are seeking out somezation.

702
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Well with the observatories that we have, we're looking for

703
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:07.599
<v Speaker 2>objects that are flying in the atmosphere. These are these

704
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:12.360
<v Speaker 2>need to be functional devices. They cannot be just the

705
00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:15.880
<v Speaker 2>brick colliding with Earth because otherwise they will burn up

706
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:22.159
<v Speaker 2>as meteors. Okay, and so in the context of interstellar meteors,

707
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:26.400
<v Speaker 2>like the expedition that we took. The assumption is that,

708
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:31.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, if it is technological, it's not functioning. It's

709
00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:34.440
<v Speaker 2>not functional anymore. It just collided with Earth. And if

710
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:37.239
<v Speaker 2>you think about the probs that we launched, like a voyager,

711
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:41.239
<v Speaker 2>they will not be functional. Once voyager exits from the

712
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Solar System, it will be in ten thousand years. The

713
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:47.920
<v Speaker 2>equipment will not be working. So it will collide with

714
00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:51.159
<v Speaker 2>a planet like the Earth the way that a rock does,

715
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:55.960
<v Speaker 2>except it will be of very different material strength than

716
00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:58.400
<v Speaker 2>a rock. It would look like a rock of a

717
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:01.800
<v Speaker 2>type that might call have never seen before, you know,

718
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.119
<v Speaker 2>just like if the Tesla roads the cover to collide

719
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:09.880
<v Speaker 2>with Earth in twenty million years, which is quite possible, actually,

720
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:13.320
<v Speaker 2>it would look like a rock that was never seen before.

721
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:20.360
<v Speaker 2>And so for those interstellar meteors, that's the approach. But

722
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:24.800
<v Speaker 2>if they don't collide with Earth, you know, then we

723
00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:27.280
<v Speaker 2>need to study their composition in a different way.

724
00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I got you. We're gonna take another short break to

725
00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:36.239
<v Speaker 1>allow our sponsors to identify themselves, and we will return

726
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:41.480
<v Speaker 1>shortly with my guest today, doctor Avy Lobe, discussing space

727
00:50:41.599 --> 00:51:06.840
<v Speaker 1>probes and other foreign objects. We'll be right back with you.

728
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:25.199
<v Speaker 1>The question our guest today is posing, are there probes

729
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:31.239
<v Speaker 1>that are visiting our planet, our neighboring planets from outside

730
00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:34.639
<v Speaker 1>of our galaxy? And what does this mean for us?

731
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Is this something we should be paying attention to? All Right?

732
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:41.760
<v Speaker 1>So you go out, you got your six million dollars,

733
00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:46.000
<v Speaker 1>You're going out again in August. You you dredge the water,

734
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:51.960
<v Speaker 1>you pull up a machine. How does that change our evolution?

735
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.679
<v Speaker 1>How do we I think it profoundly changes our understanding

736
00:51:56.360 --> 00:51:59.000
<v Speaker 1>if you qualify what you have as a machine. But

737
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:03.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious to know what your feelings are about the

738
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:09.320
<v Speaker 1>vulging a machine an alien origin to Earth lanes.

739
00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so let's think of the Tesla Roads the car

740
00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:16.880
<v Speaker 2>as an example. Calculations show that it may collide with

741
00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Earth in twenty millionaears. Okay, so suppose it were to

742
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:23.119
<v Speaker 2>collide with Earth, it would appear as a meteor, There

743
00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:27.480
<v Speaker 2>will be a fire borer, and then whatever remains in

744
00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:32.079
<v Speaker 2>the core of that car may sink down to the

745
00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:36.679
<v Speaker 2>ocean floor. Now, my colleagues would argue there is nothing

746
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:39.760
<v Speaker 2>unusual about it because it's bound to the Solar System.

747
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:42.519
<v Speaker 2>It's probably a rock it looked a bit strange, but

748
00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:47.039
<v Speaker 2>it's just another asteroid. But if there would be in

749
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:50.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty millionaires a curious scientist that would say, no, I

750
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:53.440
<v Speaker 2>want to check it out because it showed material strength.

751
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:57.239
<v Speaker 2>It actually exploded very low in the atmosphere, and it

752
00:52:57.320 --> 00:53:00.800
<v Speaker 2>showed material strength that is much tougher and all rocks.

753
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Then what that person would find is, perhaps, you know,

754
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:11.199
<v Speaker 2>the core of the car lying on the ocean floor. Okay,

755
00:53:11.239 --> 00:53:14.679
<v Speaker 2>so that that is a very clear signature. You can

756
00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:18.920
<v Speaker 2>easily say this is a technological object When people ask me,

757
00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:21.719
<v Speaker 2>how would I know? It's very easy. You know, if

758
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:25.840
<v Speaker 2>you find a big piece in the wreckage of that meteorite,

759
00:53:26.599 --> 00:53:28.400
<v Speaker 2>you know that, then you can tell whether it was

760
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:32.599
<v Speaker 2>a rock or a technological gadget. And the question is

761
00:53:32.679 --> 00:53:35.159
<v Speaker 2>if it's a gudget and it has buttons on it,

762
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:37.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, should we press a button?

763
00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I love it, but let's stretch our minds a little

764
00:53:44.440 --> 00:53:49.159
<v Speaker 1>bit more. Abby. I believe that when we know we

765
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:53.800
<v Speaker 1>are not the only ones in our cosmos, we automatically

766
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:56.840
<v Speaker 1>have to look at our human lives much differently. But

767
00:53:57.239 --> 00:53:58.360
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel about that?

768
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, I I think it's really urgent for us

769
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:07.400
<v Speaker 2>to find alien intelligence. Right now, we are focused on

770
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:12.280
<v Speaker 2>artificial intelligence as the next big thing because it might

771
00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:16.840
<v Speaker 2>actually become much more capable than the human brain, you know,

772
00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:22.000
<v Speaker 2>within the next decade. But AI is not just artificial intelligence.

773
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:26.320
<v Speaker 2>It could be alien intelligence. And in that case, it

774
00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:32.000
<v Speaker 2>could also be much more advanced and than us than

775
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:36.039
<v Speaker 2>the human brain. And so we have an opportunity to

776
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:40.880
<v Speaker 2>realize that there is something smarter than us, you know,

777
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:44.519
<v Speaker 2>and that would be a big revelation for humanity because

778
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:47.360
<v Speaker 2>it will give us a sense of humility. Right now,

779
00:54:47.440 --> 00:54:50.719
<v Speaker 2>we think of ourselves at the top of the food chain.

780
00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:54.519
<v Speaker 2>We eat animals that are lower in the food chain

781
00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:58.480
<v Speaker 2>in restaurants, and we don't have any evidence for something

782
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:02.159
<v Speaker 2>smarter than us. But AI will bring it here, and

783
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:05.280
<v Speaker 2>if it comes from another star, I think it will

784
00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:08.920
<v Speaker 2>serve the same purpose as you know, the Messiah. In

785
00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:14.880
<v Speaker 2>religious texts, the idea is that there might be peace

786
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:20.639
<v Speaker 2>and prosperity brought to earth by a messianic future. And

787
00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:23.760
<v Speaker 2>the way I see it is that we would realize

788
00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:27.000
<v Speaker 2>that there is a smarter kid on our block because

789
00:55:27.039 --> 00:55:30.719
<v Speaker 2>they were able to arrive to our doorstep before we

790
00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:35.519
<v Speaker 2>arrived to their doorstep, and that will change everything, because

791
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:39.519
<v Speaker 2>it may inspire us to think more broadly rather than

792
00:55:39.679 --> 00:55:43.360
<v Speaker 2>engaging conflicts on this earth. You know, we're spending two

793
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:47.719
<v Speaker 2>point four trillion dollars every year on military budgets worldwide,

794
00:55:48.599 --> 00:55:50.880
<v Speaker 2>and we could have invested the same amount of money

795
00:55:51.320 --> 00:55:54.719
<v Speaker 2>instead of trying to kill other people or prevent other

796
00:55:54.760 --> 00:55:57.440
<v Speaker 2>people from killing us, we could have invested it in

797
00:55:57.480 --> 00:56:02.599
<v Speaker 2>exploring space. And so I hope it will bring us

798
00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:05.840
<v Speaker 2>to our senses. We would realize we are all, you know,

799
00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:10.880
<v Speaker 2>in the same boat, the earth, and we should cooperate

800
00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:14.920
<v Speaker 2>rather than fight each other. And you know, realizing there

801
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:18.400
<v Speaker 2>is someone else, a neighbor out there, will change everything.

802
00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:22.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, when my daughters were young, they thought that

803
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:24.880
<v Speaker 2>they are at the center of the universe because we

804
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:27.719
<v Speaker 2>paid a lot of attention to them. They haven't met

805
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:31.360
<v Speaker 2>other people at the beginning, but then when they look

806
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:34.679
<v Speaker 2>through the window, they would see other houses on the street.

807
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:38.360
<v Speaker 2>But if you are to us them, they would insist

808
00:56:38.400 --> 00:56:42.960
<v Speaker 2>that there is probably nothing worth as as much attention

809
00:56:43.039 --> 00:56:46.559
<v Speaker 2>as they deserve because they got all the attention at home.

810
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:52.360
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly the status that my colleagues astrobiologists are at.

811
00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:56.280
<v Speaker 2>They think that it's an extraordinary claim to imagine something

812
00:56:56.400 --> 00:56:59.119
<v Speaker 2>like humans, you know, something as smart as we are

813
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:03.639
<v Speaker 2>out there, even though we know of many houses in

814
00:57:03.679 --> 00:57:08.599
<v Speaker 2>our cosmic street that look just like ours. And I,

815
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:12.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, I realized that when my daughters went on

816
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:15.280
<v Speaker 2>the first day to the kindergarten, they had a psychological shock,

817
00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:18.400
<v Speaker 2>but it was important for them to mature by realizing

818
00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:21.639
<v Speaker 2>there are many other kids like them, and some of

819
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:26.679
<v Speaker 2>them are smarter. They learned from that experience. So we

820
00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:30.639
<v Speaker 2>are still in the early phase where we haven't matured yet.

821
00:57:31.159 --> 00:57:34.440
<v Speaker 2>We think it's you know, it's an extraordinary claim that

822
00:57:34.559 --> 00:57:38.880
<v Speaker 2>requires extraordinary evidence. I say, no, you know, there must

823
00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:42.000
<v Speaker 2>have been things like us many billions of years ago,

824
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:48.239
<v Speaker 2>and that's the most likely assumption. And in fact, it's

825
00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:52.079
<v Speaker 2>an ordinary claim to imagine something like us. It's presumptuous.

826
00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:56.000
<v Speaker 2>It's arrogant to think otherwise, and we just need to

827
00:57:56.039 --> 00:58:01.559
<v Speaker 2>find ordinary evidence for this ordinary claim. But the problem

828
00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:05.360
<v Speaker 2>right now is there is no funding from federal agencies

829
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:13.360
<v Speaker 2>to look for extraterrestrial intelligence. And I think it's just inappropriate.

830
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a subject that public cares about,

831
00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:19.039
<v Speaker 2>the taxpayers care about. It's a matter of common sense

832
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:23.360
<v Speaker 2>to imagine something like us elsewhere, you know, within the

833
00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Milky Way galaxy.

834
00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:24.840
<v Speaker 1>So let's just.

835
00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Search for any artifacts that they may have sent in

836
00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:32.519
<v Speaker 2>the vicinity of Earth. And it doesn't need just to

837
00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:37.000
<v Speaker 2>be in the form of UAP unidentified anormalous phenomena. That

838
00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:39.360
<v Speaker 2>it could be also in the form of space trash

839
00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:41.840
<v Speaker 2>that is flying around every now and then the Earth

840
00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:43.199
<v Speaker 2>collides with one of them.

841
00:58:44.360 --> 00:58:50.920
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. Do you believe that. Are we still using

842
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:52.079
<v Speaker 1>radio telescopes?

843
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

844
00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Do you think that we could find somebody to

845
00:58:56.480 --> 00:59:02.280
<v Speaker 1>really dial in the AI to find an ety civilization with?

846
00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So this is the traditional method looking for radio

847
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:11.760
<v Speaker 2>signals that has been you know, used over the past

848
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:17.039
<v Speaker 2>almost seventy years. We haven't found signals that indicate an

849
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:20.719
<v Speaker 2>artificial origin because you know, it's just like waiting for

850
00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:23.440
<v Speaker 2>a phone call at home. Nobody may call you when

851
00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:26.199
<v Speaker 2>you're waiting if you're waiting for a short time. I mean,

852
00:59:26.239 --> 00:59:31.000
<v Speaker 2>we've been searching for less than a century and maybe

853
00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a signal was sent a million years ago, it's now

854
00:59:34.039 --> 00:59:36.519
<v Speaker 2>a million light years away, we would not detect it.

855
00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:41.360
<v Speaker 2>So yes, to answer your question, AI can be very

856
00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:44.079
<v Speaker 2>helpful and in fact, it's being used right now to

857
00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:48.400
<v Speaker 2>analyze radio signals from the best radio telescopes on Earth.

858
00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:52.480
<v Speaker 2>But so far we haven't found any signal. I'm not surprised.

859
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it makes much more sense to look for

860
00:59:54.920 --> 00:59:59.679
<v Speaker 2>packages in our mailbox or in our backyard. You know,

861
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.119
<v Speaker 2>ani bott that was thrown by a neighbor that may

862
01:00:03.159 --> 01:00:08.519
<v Speaker 2>have arrived, or an empty trash bag from a neighbor.

863
01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:11.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, these kinds of things may be out there.

864
01:00:11.719 --> 01:00:14.440
<v Speaker 2>We haven't such for those things, and we should do it.

865
01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it doesn't sound like you're a fan of the

866
01:00:17.159 --> 01:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Frank Drake hypothesis of sending out and seeing if somebody

867
01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>or picking up a signal from a distant planet.

868
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's just that we've tried that. And you know

869
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Albert Einstein said, if you keep doing the same thing

870
01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>over and over again expecting a different result, then you're

871
01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>probably not smart.

872
01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>As we conclude ALVI, and it's always fun speaking with you.

873
01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>In the perfect world that you are in would be

874
01:00:50.840 --> 01:00:55.599
<v Speaker 1>an ideal scenario for you in recovery.

875
01:00:56.880 --> 01:01:00.800
<v Speaker 2>So it depends what we find. I mean, if it's

876
01:01:01.039 --> 01:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, we can bring

877
01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:08.039
<v Speaker 2>it up examine it. That would be amazing if we

878
01:01:08.039 --> 01:01:11.320
<v Speaker 2>were to find a piece of a technological gadget that

879
01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>is not human made. However, you know, even if we

880
01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>see something at a distance, just as a result of

881
01:01:21.039 --> 01:01:24.719
<v Speaker 2>it coming close to the Sun, and then you know,

882
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:27.639
<v Speaker 2>if it comes within the orbit of Mercury, for example,

883
01:01:28.199 --> 01:01:30.719
<v Speaker 2>such an object will heat up to more than six

884
01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:37.320
<v Speaker 2>hundred degrees and we would see it glowing, and in

885
01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:41.639
<v Speaker 2>fact it may get evaporated. So we can analyze the

886
01:01:41.679 --> 01:01:45.320
<v Speaker 2>material that comes off it from a distance. We can

887
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>do it remotely. That's my idea about the space telescope,

888
01:01:49.039 --> 01:01:53.039
<v Speaker 2>and so we can actually study objects that come close

889
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:56.320
<v Speaker 2>to the Sun get very hot and emit a lot

890
01:01:56.320 --> 01:01:59.039
<v Speaker 2>of radiation. They also reflect a lot of radiation from

891
01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the lamp post sun. The Sun is very useful as

892
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>a lamp post, and we haven't used it for that

893
01:02:05.119 --> 01:02:09.519
<v Speaker 2>purpose so yet in terms of finding interstellar objects that

894
01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:13.079
<v Speaker 2>come close to it. And I'm suggesting let's look for

895
01:02:13.159 --> 01:02:14.519
<v Speaker 2>the keys under the lamp post.

896
01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:19.559
<v Speaker 1>Exactly would you have to have permission if you found

897
01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a technological object in one of your dredges? Would you

898
01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>seek permission before release in it to the public.

899
01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, first I want to understand what it is before

900
01:02:31.320 --> 01:02:36.920
<v Speaker 2>doing anything. You know, in principle, the way science operated

901
01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>in the past is that if you go to a

902
01:02:41.159 --> 01:02:45.079
<v Speaker 2>site of a meteor and you find the remnants of

903
01:02:45.119 --> 01:02:49.320
<v Speaker 2>the meteor and if it doesn't lie within the territorial

904
01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:54.119
<v Speaker 2>boundaries of a nation, then in principle, you can bring

905
01:02:54.159 --> 01:02:57.079
<v Speaker 2>it to a laboratory and study it. That's what happened

906
01:02:57.079 --> 01:03:01.159
<v Speaker 2>with meteorites before. This is a very very unusual scenario

907
01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:05.159
<v Speaker 2>where the meteoritis may not be a rock, but if

908
01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:11.119
<v Speaker 2>it happens outside the territorial boundaries of countries, then it's

909
01:03:11.159 --> 01:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>available for signs to examine. If it's within the jurisdiction

910
01:03:16.400 --> 01:03:18.920
<v Speaker 2>of a country, then you need to get permission to

911
01:03:18.960 --> 01:03:19.840
<v Speaker 2>take it out of there.

912
01:03:21.239 --> 01:03:23.599
<v Speaker 1>So if you found you were dredging off a New

913
01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Guinea island and you found a piece of a technological object,

914
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you need to get permission from them to take it

915
01:03:33.360 --> 01:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>back to the United States.

916
01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, the site that we're talking about of the

917
01:03:38.719 --> 01:03:42.639
<v Speaker 2>meteor from twenty fourteen was outside the territorial waters of

918
01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Papua New Guinea. But at any event, we are if

919
01:03:46.239 --> 01:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>we go there again. We are collaborating with University at

920
01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Papua New Guinea and as a result, it's called the

921
01:03:56.400 --> 01:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Unit TECH and so it will be done in cooperation

922
01:04:02.199 --> 01:04:07.320
<v Speaker 2>with the local authorities, with the university, and we will

923
01:04:07.320 --> 01:04:12.239
<v Speaker 2>do it in partnership with members of that university.

924
01:04:12.679 --> 01:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that sounds that sounds like a collaborative type of discovery,

925
01:04:17.400 --> 01:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>which is wonderful. Doctor av Low. Always a pleasure to

926
01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:23.840
<v Speaker 1>have you on the program. Give us a sense, tell

927
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>us where they can people can read more about you,

928
01:04:26.559 --> 01:04:29.239
<v Speaker 1>give us your website and if you're starting to go

929
01:04:29.320 --> 01:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>fund me for this next exploration, and where people can donate.

930
01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>So I would recommend checking avilob at medium dot com.

931
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I put essays every day or two about the latest

932
01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:50.239
<v Speaker 2>updates about interesting news in space science, astrophysics, the search

933
01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>for intelligent life AI. But and then we have also

934
01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the Galileo Project website where we have a button saying

935
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:08.599
<v Speaker 2>donate to us. But if we are talking about a

936
01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:12.719
<v Speaker 2>significant contribution, for example, towards the expedition, the person can

937
01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:18.719
<v Speaker 2>contact me directly. And then there will be a Netflix

938
01:05:19.199 --> 01:05:23.599
<v Speaker 2>film coming out within a year, Oh my god, that

939
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:26.280
<v Speaker 2>will feature the expedition that were with me over there

940
01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:29.400
<v Speaker 2>and will include the footage in fact, they were with

941
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:34.840
<v Speaker 2>me yesterday and it should be quite exciting to watch.

942
01:05:36.079 --> 01:05:40.199
<v Speaker 2>And of course there are papers that came out from

943
01:05:40.239 --> 01:05:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the expedition from the Gallel project that one can find

944
01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:47.719
<v Speaker 2>on the Galileo Project website. So there is a lot

945
01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>of materials out there about the work we're doing. And

946
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:54.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm very excited about this year. I think we may

947
01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:55.639
<v Speaker 2>be up to something.

948
01:05:56.800 --> 01:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I hope that your wish is granted and you find

949
01:06:00.199 --> 01:06:04.039
<v Speaker 1>the technological object in your next sweep thank you.

950
01:06:04.280 --> 01:06:07.599
<v Speaker 2>By the way, there would be. And there is already

951
01:06:07.639 --> 01:06:12.400
<v Speaker 2>a TED talk that then I gave in twenty twenty four.

952
01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:15.679
<v Speaker 2>It was ranked and number five in popularity among old

953
01:06:15.719 --> 01:06:19.039
<v Speaker 2>TED talks. So if anyone wants to see a summary

954
01:06:19.519 --> 01:06:23.079
<v Speaker 2>eighteen minute summary of what we found so far, check

955
01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:23.440
<v Speaker 2>it out.

956
01:06:23.880 --> 01:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, I saw that it's a very

957
01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:29.559
<v Speaker 1>excellent tech talk. It was July of last year. It's

958
01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>called My Search for Proof Aliens Exist, and it's very

959
01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:39.679
<v Speaker 1>well done at a full crowd, and it was a

960
01:06:40.239 --> 01:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>standing ovation, So obviously people were inspired as much as

961
01:06:44.360 --> 01:06:49.639
<v Speaker 1>we all are. A fantastic much success on this new venture.

962
01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's have you back on the program after perhaps early

963
01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>next year, late this year, and by the way, when's

964
01:06:57.440 --> 01:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the new book coming out?

965
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:01.119
<v Speaker 2>Are you still working out Within a year it should

966
01:07:01.119 --> 01:07:03.239
<v Speaker 2>be delivered to the press, and so I assume in

967
01:07:03.239 --> 01:07:05.599
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty six it will come out. I'm not sure

968
01:07:05.599 --> 01:07:09.440
<v Speaker 2>exactly which month, but we should be finished with it

969
01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:10.880
<v Speaker 2>by the end of twenty twenty five.

970
01:07:11.039 --> 01:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you have so much energy. It's it's wonderful, all right.

971
01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:21.159
<v Speaker 2>So in life I realize it's always good to be optimistic,

972
01:07:21.679 --> 01:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>because life is sometimes self fulfilling prophecy. So if you're optimistic,

973
01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:28.079
<v Speaker 2>good things will happen.

974
01:07:28.639 --> 01:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, I like it because you're very transparent

975
01:07:32.039 --> 01:07:35.039
<v Speaker 1>about what you're doing. I think there's so much that

976
01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>is hidden. If the government does have evidence of extraterrestual craft,

977
01:07:40.119 --> 01:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>will never know about it because they're paranoid. They're you know,

978
01:07:44.039 --> 01:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>they don't want people to know about that. So and

979
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:50.559
<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate your openness in your work of the

980
01:07:50.760 --> 01:07:52.119
<v Speaker 1>So thank you very much.

981
01:07:52.320 --> 01:07:55.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, the Vatican try to suppress what Galileo saw,

982
01:07:56.360 --> 01:08:01.039
<v Speaker 2>but eventually it admitted that Galileo was right. So I

983
01:08:01.119 --> 01:08:04.039
<v Speaker 2>have hope that if the evidence is out there, we

984
01:08:04.119 --> 01:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>will all know about it eventually.

985
01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic, great talking with you is always and we look

986
01:08:09.840 --> 01:08:11.039
<v Speaker 1>forward to speaking with you again.

987
01:08:11.679 --> 01:08:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for having me.

988
01:08:16.039 --> 01:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's good to have av on the show. I

989
01:08:18.960 --> 01:08:22.039
<v Speaker 1>go much further than he does. He's, you know, although

990
01:08:22.079 --> 01:08:26.039
<v Speaker 1>he's very outspoken. What happens if we determined that these

991
01:08:26.600 --> 01:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>fragments are extraterrestrial? You know, I mean that's a form

992
01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:33.680
<v Speaker 1>of first contact. I think he's wanting to find fragments.

993
01:08:33.720 --> 01:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I have this feeling that you know, I did a

994
01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>for instance, he does his next dredging operation and he

995
01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>finds a part of an engine, or a part of

996
01:08:43.560 --> 01:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>a panel, a mechanical device of some kind. How do

997
01:08:48.680 --> 01:08:52.279
<v Speaker 1>you explain that? Now, he did not sign an NDA

998
01:08:52.399 --> 01:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>with ADD or NASA, so he can spit say whatever

999
01:08:55.680 --> 01:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>he wants. But would they freak out about that? I

1000
01:08:59.560 --> 01:09:02.439
<v Speaker 1>think would bring up a lot of questions. In my

1001
01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:06.319
<v Speaker 1>heart of hearts, I hope he does find fragments of

1002
01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:13.520
<v Speaker 1>a device, of a probe, of some exotic technology that

1003
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>can't be explained. I mean, I'm tired of this, this

1004
01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>space agency cover up. We've had it for decades. They're

1005
01:09:23.079 --> 01:09:27.159
<v Speaker 1>just afraid. And you know, the more I thought about it,

1006
01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>a really good sign that they're covering things up is

1007
01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:37.279
<v Speaker 1>the requesting the theologians to respond to the first contact question.

1008
01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a big indicator right there that they know that

1009
01:09:40.880 --> 01:09:43.560
<v Speaker 1>they have a problem. And so you don't go to

1010
01:09:43.560 --> 01:09:47.479
<v Speaker 1>an antiquated service, a out of touch group of people

1011
01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:53.439
<v Speaker 1>in the religious sector to get detailed and highly sensitive reactions,

1012
01:09:54.079 --> 01:09:58.560
<v Speaker 1>deeply visceral responses. You're not going to get them. Those

1013
01:09:58.600 --> 01:10:01.439
<v Speaker 1>people are shut down. You got to go somewhere else.

1014
01:10:02.439 --> 01:10:05.079
<v Speaker 1>So that's to me as an indicator that they are

1015
01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:15.319
<v Speaker 1>covering up likely you know, ships devices contact. And then

1016
01:10:15.520 --> 01:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the worst case scenario is that they have already been

1017
01:10:17.640 --> 01:10:19.840
<v Speaker 1>in contact for decades and that there's some kind of

1018
01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:26.479
<v Speaker 1>agreement that they show up occasionally, do some research, take

1019
01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:33.079
<v Speaker 1>some people on board, and do some analysis, and there

1020
01:10:33.079 --> 01:10:37.199
<v Speaker 1>you go. That would be That would be utter insanity.

1021
01:10:37.239 --> 01:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>If that is the truth, If they are if our

1022
01:10:39.800 --> 01:10:43.199
<v Speaker 1>government is actually in the know to the point where

1023
01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>they're actually allowing in exchange for whatever abductions and minerals

1024
01:10:51.680 --> 01:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and things like that, I don't know. I mean, I

1025
01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:56.680
<v Speaker 1>want to guess, But if that's true, heads should roll

1026
01:10:57.600 --> 01:11:01.560
<v Speaker 1>in the same manner that I feel that these trillion

1027
01:11:01.600 --> 01:11:08.119
<v Speaker 1>dollar rovers on Mars, I jokingly say that they're bumping

1028
01:11:08.119 --> 01:11:11.319
<v Speaker 1>into staircases, that are bumping into columns, are bumping into temples.

1029
01:11:12.760 --> 01:11:16.479
<v Speaker 1>And if it turns out that these administrators have known

1030
01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:19.560
<v Speaker 1>about this for you know, a long time, then heads

1031
01:11:19.560 --> 01:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>should roll, they should take all those guys down, and

1032
01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>because that's just crazy, you know, that's just restricting our evolution.

1033
01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>So who knows, who knows finn to think about though,

1034
01:11:34.880 --> 01:11:41.239
<v Speaker 1>it really is. So I hope you enjoyed that. Hey,

1035
01:11:41.279 --> 01:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're enjoying Earth Ancient's Destiny or Earth Ancient Special
