While Washington debates the timeline for declassifying UAP files, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his Galileo Project team have taken a different approach entirely. Their network of scientific observatories is now operationally capable of detecting and tracking unidentified anomalous phenomena using calibrated, peer-reviewed instrumentation.
The announcement came as a direct response to Trump’s February 2026 declassification directive. Loeb’s position is straightforward: waiting for government disclosure assumes the government has something worth disclosing. The Galileo Project does not make that assumption.
What most coverage missed: a key weakness in all previous UAP footage, including military videos shown at congressional hearings, is the unknown distance between the camera and the object. Without knowing that distance, you cannot calculate actual speed or acceleration. The Galileo Project’s multi-camera observatory network is specifically designed to solve that problem by triangulating three-dimensional position in real time.
Loeb has stated he would welcome access to any classified satellite data that could confirm UAP velocity and acceleration, and has offered to brief President Trump directly on the findings.
If a Harvard research team can build the tools to independently verify UAP without government cooperation, what exactly has the government been waiting for?
