Avi Loeb on 3I/ATLAS, ʻOumuamua and the Pentagon

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb joins Gleb Solomin to discuss interstellar objects, UFOs and the possibility of life beyond Earth. They consider 3I/ATLAS and ʻOumuamua, public reactions to these objects, and what they might be. Loeb also discusses a research expedition in the Pacific Ocean, Elon Musk and the Breakthrough Starshot project.

The conversation turns to possible explanations for 3I/ATLAS, whether extraterrestrial intelligence could be artificial intelligence, the Fermi paradox and Pentagon publications about UFOs. These are subjects of discussion and speculation; the conversation does not establish that interstellar objects or unidentified phenomena are extraterrestrial in origin.
