    That’s education, not a bunch of trust me bro stories and photos of blurry dots taken by a potato.

    You'll find this mentioned on YouTube around Jake Barbours organisation who claim they can summon UAPs using Psyonic folk,but also a device they call the Dog Whistle,emitting frequencies,think in the Ghz range they claim can bring in whatever these are 100% of the time.

    Also Professor Simon Holland on his podcast ,( He's not a Professor),

    proposed that the UK had a similar type device way back,he says after clearing this with the MOD,he was allowed to talk about it .

    I remain highly skeptical around the whole subject and welcome people's views ,like Nick Pope, very scientific detailed debonker who proves the vast majority of sightings are balloons and have prosecic explanations.

    It's very hard initially for people in theses Islands,myself included to take seriously podcasting,which seems to involve baseball cap,big microphone, and the American obsession with a brick wall behind.

    Having said that the David Grusch interview podcast had a viewing audience of 50 million.

    I try to follow the science,if any.

    I try to hold onto my options, Loosley.

    Surprised at how much abuse these subjects still attract 80 years on.

    Thanks for your interest.

    I listen to Jake Tapper most nights and I'm nearly finished his latest book. Last night he was mostly talking about Kamala Harris' decision to not run for Governor of California.

    So short answer is no Avi Loeb was not on with him.

    Avi Loeb makes remarks to excite a certain type to draw them toward a podcast where he then promotes his book.

    Seems like for a while he has been trying to peddle the line that comets passing through the solar system aren't following a 'natural' course… a claim rejected by pretty much all other experts.
    So whenever a comet is in the news, he appears in the media.

    I think I saw this plot in an Outer Limits once, it is an interesting angle…

    [from Loeb's wiki page]
    Since 2017, Loeb has argued that alien space craft may be in the Solar System, arguing that ʻOumuamua and other interstellar objects, including the reputedly interstellar meteor CNEOS 2014-01-08 are potential examples of such craft. These claims have been widely rejected by the scientific community. In 2023, he claimed to have recovered spherules formed by the impact of CNEOS 2014-01-08 that he alleged could be evidence of an alien starship, which a number of experts criticized as hasty and sensational. Other experts showed that Loeb mistook ordinary truck traffic for a seismic evidence of the meteor, causing him to look hundreds of miles in the wrong direction, and that there was little evidence that the spherules originated from CNEOS 2014-01-08.

    He has to because it is a comet. He is attempting to keep one foot in reality whilst also pandering to the "aliens" audience (and likely his own beliefs)

    If you ever want more fame/attention/money that the average hardworking scientist - just be a scientist with quack views. Especially views that align with a popular fringe (e.g. the aliens circuit)

    Having listened to the "Witness" testimonials released before today's Congressional Hearing,I tend to agree with your comments.

    Looks like another hoax to sell something (dousing equipment) replete with fake "lab", nonsensical equipment and someone who wasn't great with a dremel.

    Unfortunately the UFO movement is unable or unwilling to do quality control, it’s one of few places that do.

    Again, for the 100th time, the same shower of guys with the same unverified stories and worn out material - milking it for all it's worth.
