Listening for UFOs - The Galileo Project's Search for UAP - with Andy Mead | Merged EP0115
Analysis Summary
Summary
The person in this account is Andy Mead, an acoustics engineer and co-lead of the Acoustics team at the Galileo Project. His interest in UAP began in 2020 during a challenging time when his wife was hospitalized. To distract himself, he explored UFO topics online and became intrigued by the scientific approach to studying UAP. He reached out to Avi Loeb, the project's leader, suggesting that acoustics should be part of the research. Mead believes that using multiple sensors, including acoustic ones, can provide a more comprehensive understanding of UAP. After his involvement, he felt excited about contributing to a scientific study that takes UAP seriously, marking a significant shift in his perspective on the subject.
