- 1 Cardano Founder, Charles Hoskinson searching for UFOs.
- 2 Avi Loeb led the expedition which is named the Galileo project.
The Israeli-American astronomer and physicist, Avi Loeb is looking for an interstellar object that crashed in 2014 in the ocean of Papua New Guinea. He has organized a search worth $1.5M which is supported by the Cardano Founder, Charles Hoskinson. Loeb identified the object as the first interstellar meteor in 2019. The Department of Defence space command has confirmed with NASA that the meteor is of interstellar origin.
Revealing facts Avi Loeb further said that he and his team found this meteor to be very tough. They found all the 272 meteors in NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies Catalog are not as tough comparatively. This has encouraged him to launch an expedition in which the search for meteor parts at a depth of 1.7km on the ocean floor will be done.
Cardano Founder, Hokinson has funded $1.5 Million to the Galileo project for research. The Galileo Project is to bring Extra-Terrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs) through systematic scientific research which is transparent and validated.
Cardano Founder Interested in Expedition
Hokinson is taking an interest in this expedition. He tweeted on June 16th that he is with the team which has found the wires and pieces of strange objects that can be part of the crash.
On the same day, Harvard physicist Loeb confirmed through a tweet of finding an abnormal pattern of magnesium and platinum wire that is different from common commercial products.
He also added that though we found something which we can relate to that interstellar origin it’s too soon to confirm its relation with the object. He says that it takes time to confirm the origin and connection of that wire with an interstellar object.
More analysis is needed to confirm the linking of this wire with other civilizations through studying the manufactured technology of the wire.
Although Hoskinson had funded for the project in March 2023 but he confirmed it from the tweet in April 2023.
Other Project Funded by Hoskinson in 2022
Hoskinson, the Cardano founder’s interest in such a strange project is not a new thing. Before this, in March 2022, he participated in a $75 Million funding for a bioscience startup, Colossal.
It is a Texas-based startup that is aimed to bring wooly mammoths back to life. This project also includes work on bringing life back to some other extinct animals too.
When asked if Charles Hoskinson is funding the whole expedition named Galileo Project, the Cardano founder replied yes. The answer amazed Murari, who is a Texas based crypto investor. Showing humor she added that she is impressed and will immerse her life savings in Cardano’s ADA.
Loeb says this project triggered the fuse that was latent for years. He also said that he enjoyed his chats with the Cardano founder about mathematics, AI, computer science, and also the de-extinction of animals, a project in which he invested his money in 2022.
