Avi Loeb
Dr. Avi Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist and founder of the Galileo Project, explores the mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, suggesting it might be an alien mothership. He discusses government claims of recovered alien crafts, the possibility that life on Earth originated from Mars, and why the threat of extraterrestrial life could be a national security concern. Loeb argues for a global organization to defend Earth and introduces the 'Loeb Scale' to evaluate interstellar objects. Prepare for a mind-bending conversation about our place in the cosmos!
