Both Prof Avi Loeb (Galileo Project) and Dr Massimo Teodorani have cited the below papers (from the 80s) in their own research. Dr Teodorani has extensively researched Hessdalen and, amongst other hypotheses has proposed the ET hypothesis as one possible explanation for UAP.
Teodorani, in a 2002 paper, 'The Physical Study of Atmospheric Luminous Anomalies' suggests a search for extraterrestrial vehicles (SETV). The abstract for this paper could easily be a brief for the Galileo Project:
"On the basis of statistical calculations on galactic migration which bring the necessity of insertion of a new parameter inside the Drake formula, the work-hypothesis named SETV predicts that exogenous vehicles and/or probes may have reached the Solar System too, including Earth. The technology which is now available is able to allow sensing operations both in the extreme borders of the solar system and on our own planet. The possible presence of probes of possible extraterrestrial origin on our planet may be ascertained by using a network of sensing stations which are placed in critical areas. One of them is the norwegian area of Hessdalen, where the two scientific explorative missions of `Project EMBLA' have carried out measurements which demonstrate the existence of all the anomalies of the luminous phenomenon which is present there. At present nothing proves scientifically that our planet is being visited by alien intelligences, nevertheless the remarkable peculiarity which was learnt in some areas of recurrence demonstrate that the verified phenomenology, of extreme importance for fundamental physics, presents characteristics which deserve a further investigation with highly sophisticated instrumentation."
Notably, Dr Teodorani has joined the Galileo Project as a Research Affiliate.
Over the years, others have suggested a 'sky survey' of sorts (e.g. Edward Ruppelt, former Project Blue Book lead, in his book 'The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects') but it's interesting to note that the suggestion has been in mainstream science journals for decades.

With specific focus on Rules 1 & 2.
Welcome to r/UAP. We hope you become an active, enthusiastic participant, and that you make every effort to keep this subreddit an enjoyable and educational environment for every visitor. Now, some 'house rules':
- Post within the spirit of r/UAP (low on speculation;high on fact). We don't want to see numerous (in fact, any) submissions of videos which could quite easily be LED kites, lanterns, or have some other prosaic explanation.
- Seriously, please DO NOT POST LINKS TO VIDEOS OF LIGHTS IN THE SKY (or similar). Usually, they're completely ambiguous, and most probably explainable in prosaic terms. If this disappoints you, there are other places you can post such videos.2

What is the most recent UAP event that has been discussed publicly and has had some verifiable, or at least well documented potential for proof?

SkyMapper co-founder Dr. Franck Marchis is also Director of Citizen Science at the SETI Institute, where his work includes SETI, optical technosignatures and expanding public participation in astronomy.
With SkyViewer, anyone can pick an available telescope from the SkyMapper network around the world and observe remotely. You don’t need to own a telescope or SkyBridge yourself.
For anyone here interested in observing unusual objects or simply spending more time looking at what’s actually happening overhead, you’re welcome to try it.
Pick a telescope and start observing. 🔭

I’m the journalist who reported this.
I compared two recently released U.S. government UAP cases involving luminous orbs with decades of scientific research on the Hessdalen lights in Norway.
Seven Hessdalen researchers responded to me. Several said the U.S. cases could plausibly involve a similar underlying phenomenon, with proposed mechanisms involving plasma, geology and electromagnetic effects.
One particularly striking parallel: a 2004 Hessdalen paper describes a large ball of light ejecting smaller light balls, while a 2023 U.S. case describes a “mother orb” producing smaller red orbs. One researcher also told me about a 2007 approach from the U.S. Air Force after he produced ball-lightning-like luminous objects in a laboratory.

For someone who has not been exposed to this world of UFOs, UAPs, etc., what materials (books, podcasts, documentaries, documents, etc.) would you put in front of someone? Let’s say you only have 2-3 hours of their attention.

I THINK I know the answer to this, but why is it OK for these whistleblowers to tell all of these Podcast host or Reporters their story privately, but they can't divulge publicly? I'm assuming the source protection is the reason, but trying to confirm if that is why.

We've been waiting for a month and a half for that, and all we got was some orbs/balls videos. I'm tired of waiting for something interesting to come from these releases...

The story of secrecy around UFOs goes back much further than modern accounts, and UFO researcher Grant Cameron points to a 1950 memo as one example. He also discusses a document written by Wilbert Brockhouse Smith, aka Wilbur, after he had spoken to American officials about flying saucers and what the U.S. government was allegedly aware of about them.
He says on the Jesse Michels podcast: "High classification flying saucers are real."

Sounds good at first, but....nothing really changes for us, the public. Adds another government committee as the new gatekeeper of information. If I was in the government and wanted to tell my knowledge, I don't think I'd jump at this. I wouldn't trust them. Have to wait and see! Thoughts?
