The New Frontier: Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson goes in search of aliens and UFOs



Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is currently searching for a UFO – or some kind of space object – that has crashed in the Pacific Ocean near the coast of Papua New Guinea.

The discovery is part of the Galileo Project, which received $1.5 million in funding from Hoskinson in March.

The project is piloting an expedition led by Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb and his student Amir Siraj, who in 2014 identified “meteorites of interstellar origin” that crashed into Earth from outer space.

In particular, the interstellar origin of the object has been Verified by the US Department of Defense, and it appears the Galileo team may have already found some of its remains.

In a June 16 tweet, Hawkinson confirmed that he is currently with the expedition team, and noted that so far they have found strange bits and pieces of wire that may have been by accident.

“There’s a lot of ground to cover and we haven’t even broken sled sled yet,” he said.

In a blog post the same day, Loeb wrote: “Happily, we already have an anomaly: a manganese-platinum wire with an abundance pattern that is different from common commercial products.”

However at this stage, it is too early to confirm whether the fragments are some sort of “interstellar object from our cosmic neighborhood” as Loeb hopes,

“Most importantly, I want to know whether it was technically built by another civilization,” he said in a blog post on June 15.

This isn’t the first time Hoskinson has put capital behind a bizarre project.

Back in March 2022, the Cardano founder participated in a $75 million funding round for Colossal, a Texas-based bioscience startup that aims to resurrect woolly mammoths and other extinct species.
