If an advanced technological civilization predated us by more than millions of years and they already travelled across their distance from us before knowing about us. This is possible because most stars formed billions of years before the Sun. Our own astronomers are eager to study habitable exo-planets, such as the planet b around the nearest star, Proxima Centauri. In the coming centuries, we might decide to visit Proxima Centauri b with our crafts before knowing that a technological civilization might have emerged on it. Could interstellar vehicles be surprisingly close to us right now, as they were sent a long time ago towards Earth just because of it being a habitable planet and not in response to our technological signals?

The only way to find out is to search the sky for unusual objects. This is the rationale behind The Galileo Project that I am leading. The project will be publicly announced on July 26th, 2021 as a research endeavor to assemble and transparently analyze open scientific data collected by new telescopes. This multi-million dollar project is funded by private donors who approached me after reading my book Extraterrestrial or listening to the numerous interviews that followed its publication. Subsequently, I assembled an exceptional research team that plans to construct a network of new telescopes and monitor the sky for any unusual objects near Earth. When searching the sky in a new way, one is likely to discover something new.
