Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth
Avi Loeb
Summary
Loeb's argument that Oumuamua - the first detected interstellar object - shows characteristics inconsistent with natural origin, including anomalous acceleration and unusual flat geometry. Also establishes the intellectual case for the Galileo Project's observational approach to technosignature detection.
Abstract
Avi Loeb presents the scientific case that the interstellar object 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua) may be an artifact of extraterrestrial technology, and proposes a new observational program to search for similar objects with rigorous scientific methodology.
