Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson goes on the hunt for aliens and UFOs

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

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

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

It is noteworthy that the interstellar origin of the object was verified by the US Department of Defense and it appears that the Galileo team may have already found a few of its remains.

In a June 16 tweet, Hoskinson confirmed that he is currently with the expedition team and noted that so far they have found strange pieces of wire and debris that may have come from the crash.

“A lot of ground to cover and we haven’t even ripped the sluice yet,” he said.

In a blog post on the same day, Loeb he wrote: “We already like one anomaly: a manganese-platinum wire with an abundance pattern that differs from common commercial products.”

However, at this stage it seems too early to confirm whether the pieces belong to some kind of “interstellar object from our cosmic neighborhood” like Loeb hope.

“Most importantly, I would like to know if it was technologically produced by another civilization,” he said in a June 15 blog post.

This isn’t the first time Hoskinson has put capital into a quirky project.

In March 2022, Founder of Cardano participated in a $75 million funding round A bioscience startup based in Texas Colossal, which aims to resurrect woolly mammoths and other extinct species.
