Harvard's controversial astronomer Avi Loeb is leading a new initiative, dubbed the Galileo Project, to check Earth's skies and the rest of the solar system for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence.
The longtime astronomy professor, who became well-known for his belief that interstellar object Oumuamua was likely an alien probe, announced the details of his plan via a virtual press conference Monday.
The plan is to use a variety of telescopes to look for alien spaceships, probes or other debris left behind by intelligent beings who weren't born on Earth.
The first phase of the project involves setting up a network of dozens of relatively small telescopes around the globe that will attempt to capture new images of unidentified aerial phenomena...
Loeb has become a polarizing figure in the astronomy community, especially since the release of his book outlining his Oumuamua hypothesis earlier this year, with a number of scientists accusing him of jumping to radical conclusions without appropriate evidence.
In addition to trying to spot UAP in the sky, the project also plans to use next-generation telescopes like the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory to look for more objects in the solar system like Oumuamua, as well as for potential alien probes orbiting Earth to check us out in a low-key way. A description of the project even leaves open the possibility of designing its own purpose-built space observatory:

Mehopes that “They” are not Giant Hogweeds !
Flat.
(And they’ll look at you while they’re doing it, to make sure you’re watching...)
Yes they will. Even if you tell them not to. Those bad kittys.
I’ve taken up one step tie dye. 😐
Exactly. Gotta watch them puddy cats.
Tie dye rocks. Did some a couple years ago. Thinking of picking it up again this summer
Cats aren’t ‘bad’ or ‘good’.
They’re just forces of Nature - like wind and rain.
(But unlike the others, turning your back to a cat only aids them in their mischief :-)
LOL!
Cats aren’t really very bright, either. Some have been diagnosed with Covid (but it was probably a PCR test, so...):
