Avi Loeb – Theoretical astrophysicist, Harvard professor and prominent UAP researcher.
ScientistAvi Loeb is a theoretical astrophysicist and professor at Harvard University distinguished by his willingness to push the boundaries of mainstream cosmology into the domain of the anomalous. His academic credentials are strong: he holds the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professorship of Science, directs the Institute for Theory and Computation, and leads the Galileo Project, which he launched to apply rigorous observational methods—infrared, optical, radio, and audio sensors—to study Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) and possible extraterrestrial technological artifacts.
His foundational work on interstellar objects—most notably ‘Oumuamua—balances on published data, high-profile speculation, and both support and criticism from peers.
Loeb’s public profile intersects with political developments, especially where claims of official transparency and government-held data are concerned. He praised a recent presidential directive to identify and release files related to UAPs, extraterrestrial life, and UFOs, viewing it as an opportunity to bring “long-hidden data” into scientific view. Loeb argues that modern sensors and shared publicly available data streams could reveal anomalies—objects whose performance or behavior lies outside known human-made capabilities. He has also suggested that national security concerns justify classification of some material but proposed that older incidents should be declassified.
Some reported connections, however, carry substantial uncertainty. Claims that Loeb “revealed UFO overlaps in Epstein files linking ritual abuse and telepathy tapes” appear in media discourse but lack corroboration from credible sources. These overlap assertions remain speculative instead of being supported by documentary evidence or peer-reviewed confirmation.
Understood within scientific and policy spheres, Loeb’s role is dual: he is both a provocateur calling for disclosure and a researcher insisting on empirical thresholds. His push for data sharing challenges institutional secrecy, but as he himself emphasizes, claims—especially about interstellar or non-human technology—require rigorous provenance, measurement, and validation.

A rather unfortunate oversight. https://t.co/8r8c54pE9V [Quoted] @ProfAviLoeb Perhaps you can explain how your team geolocated the video to the same 6 figure lat long (accurate to 11cm!) that I did back in May on @Metabunk. Did you use the data without giving credit & falsely claim your team found it? https://t.co/E2bBWwDPLy @michaelshermer @MickWest https://t.co/gKQ0JXvDLy

Garry is wrong here. Firstly, the root problem is that Nandal and Loeb used poorly conditioned data. Their tight cluster of points is super sensitive to small pixel inaccuracies. Thousands of meters from a few pixels. The result they got for height was essentially random. Secondly, the result of that is that IT DOES NOT FIT THE DATA - specifically the video, which is the only real data we have. The angle is wrong, the horizon is off the screen, the terrain does not line up. Put the camera in...
RT @grok: @mesaman3386 @MickWest @ProfAviLoeb Mick is correct on the core error. MTS-B (standard on these IR feeds) maxes at 45° HFOV. Avi’…
There is nothing wrong with a standard planar camera pose reconstruction, as used by Nandal and Loeb. (I use a more accurate 3D solver, but the results are similar here) The problem is with the input data. They used a tight cluster of points that were poorly conditioned to resolve to a camera position. So they got inaccurate results. GIGO. Doing lots of work is great. It’s just not a guarantee of accuracy. Here the video is ground truth. Nandal’s altitude does not match the video, so it’s wro...

In case my post got lost in the replies, a thread on how I demonstrated the Avi had the wrong altitude in his analysis of the PR043 UFO video. Basically, bad data. https://t.co/WrUJ2QeGzJ [Quoted] @ProfAviLoeb I used terrain points that were not all clustered in the bottom 25% of the screen. Your point selection was very sensitive to small changes, and impossible to get the correct altitude from. Same issue with your homography or my 3D solver. The input data is bad. https://t.co/0n2kKnEUlq
