Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Professor Avi Loeb argued that, rather than discussing possible scenarios, efforts should probably be directed to gathering \u201cbetter scientific data\u201d and clarifying the nature of the UAP.<\/p>\n

While the Pentagon still has yet to release its report on the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), Avi Loeb, the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard\u2019s Department of Astronomy, has argued that some of these enigmatic objects may not have been made by some world power.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf UAP originated from China or Russia and were a national security risk, their existence would have never been revealed to the public,\u201d Loeb reasoned in an op-ed published in Scientific American.<\/p>\n

\u201cHence, it is reasonable to conclude that the US government believes that some of these objects are not human in origin.<\/p>\n

The scholar postulated that this leaves two possibilities: the UAP may be some kind of natural phenomena native to our planet or they may be \u201cextraterrestrial in origin\u201d.<\/p>\n

Loeb also mentioned the possibility he voiced before, that the interstellar object known as Oumuamua might have been an \u201cartificial object on a targeted mission towards the sun, aimed to collect data from the habitable region near Earth\u201d, possibly even to retrieve information from \u201cprobes that were already sprinkled on Earth at an earlier time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut rather than simply wonder about possible scenarios, we should collect better scientific data and clarify the nature of UAP,\u201d Loeb stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis can be done by deploying state-of-the-art cameras on wide-field telescopes that monitor the sky.<\/p>\n

He further insisted that the sky, unlike the \u201cgovernment-owned sensors\u201d, is not classified, and that \u201cby searching for unusual phenomena in the same geographical locations from where the UAP reports came, scientists could clear up the mystery in a transparent analysis of open data.<\/p>\n

Previously, Loeb also called to expand the efforts to search for alien civilisations in space, arguing that \u201cthe chances are that we will be encountering alien technology \u2013 in other words, equipment \u2013 long before we encounter creatures from other worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n
