Galileo Project Achieves Triangulation Milestone Across Three-Observatory Network

Harvard's Galileo Project, led by Professor Avi Loeb, announced that its three-observatory network (Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Nevada) is now measuring distances to airborne objects to within 10 percent accuracy using triangulation across 10-kilometre baselines. The network operates continuously in infrared, optical, radio, and audio bands, with an AI-assisted data pipeline flagging outlier objects for human review. A fourth observatory is planned for Indiana. The project is recruiting volunteer labellers to classify objects in observatory imagery. The triangulation capability represents a shift from passive sky-watching to active instrumented measurement of anomalous aerial objects, positioning the project as a scientific counterpart to the government's PURSUE declassification effort.
