It's a very interesting phenomena. I really don't know what to think about it personally. But whatever it is we might soon have more scientific data on it thanks to the Galileo Project: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/galileo/home
Oh interesting, I hadn't heard of Galileo. Looks to be a more or less new project, but they've already got a bunch of publications out, and they've got some pretty ambitious goals, including building "new telescope systems to infer the nature of UAP" (from the Overview of the Galileo Project paper)
Yup. I love Avi Loeb because he's one of the few well respected scientists that won't straight up dismiss the possibility of something being of extraterrestrial or non-human origins. Which, IMO, is how science should handle cases like this. Leave all possibilities open until science points in a certain direction. I highly recommend listening to his appearances on the Event Horizon podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EventHorizonShow/search?query=Avi%20Loeb
Interesting to see that they're insisting on traditional academic journals instead of priority towards open access journals.
You're referring to this bit from their ground rules?
Personally I just read that as something along the lines of "we'll be releasing through scientific journals as opposed to newspapers or tin foil hat zines" and didn't take it as meaning they wouldn't submit to open access journals
Yeah. I'm sure it due to incentives in that academia industry. Publish or perish means publish in journals with established credibility.
But it's good that they don't plan to release findings through news media.
