The article discusses the views of Avi Loeb, a Harvard professor who believes that science should take the study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) more seriously. Loeb argues that some UFOs could be extraterrestrial in origin and that the scientific community has been dismissive of the topic. He cites a recent incident where a flying object was spotted near the US military’s most sensitive airspace, raising concerns about potential national security threats. Loeb is backed by billionaire investors and has launched projects to study UFOs using scientific methods. He believes that the stigma surrounding UFOs has prevented serious scientific inquiry, and that a more open-minded approach is needed to understand these phenomena. The article highlights the ongoing debate within the scientific community about the legitimacy of studying UFOs and the potential implications for our understanding of the universe.
