New Developments Show Incoordination in Government UFO Report
As the countdown to the release of the government report on UFOs intensifies, new developments reveal just how uncoordinated the response has been.
With new reports on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) coming forward almost daily (some from high-level officials) mainstream media has gotten in on the coverage. As Washington prepares for the report released at the end of June, the issue has turned from farce to serious inquiry. And now, many questions are being raised as to the government’s handling of the matter.
Nick Pope ran the British Ministry of Defence’s UFO project where he conducted official investigations into the phenomenon in the U.K.
Having worked within these infrastructures, Nick Pope gives us his take on the lead-up to the U.S. report.

Avi Loeb's Galileo Project to Use Satellites to Scan Earth for UFOs
The search for UFOs usually has us looking out into the depths of space, but what if we flipped it around and looked towards the Earth from space? Can we find UFOs from above?
An attempt to search for UFOs by pointing satellites at Earth; that’s the idea in Harvard professor Avi Loeb’s latest article for The Hill.
Loeb, also the author of “extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth,” and founder of the Galileo Project, explains,
“We are planning to use satellite data and potentially look at unidentified objects from above. Of course, the advantage of that is we can cover the entire Earth, if we put telescopes on the ground, we need to put a lot of them to cover the same area. The goal is to establish the reality of objects, first of all, from both directions; from above using satellite data, and from below using telescope systems, and one would guide the other. So, if we see regions of activity we can put our telescope systems there. If our telescope systems see something of interest, we can monitor what that thing does from satellite data. So, I think it’s an extremely powerful method of verifying and guiding the inquiry to the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena.
Founded in the summer of 2021, the goal of the Galileo Project is to bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures into the mainstream. What is the next step when we find something?
“The Galileo Project has two branches: one is to figure out the nature of any object near Earth. We plan to pursue that by using ground-based telescopes that we build, but also satellite data from Planet Labs, for example.
