"Avi Loeb finds new source of funding for his team" :p

Shermer is the token skeptic on the Galleo Project and has a standing bet with Avi that we will not have proof of alien civilization before 2030. He's also not that confrontational these days so they get along.

The number of skeptics on the team will not change what he sees everywhere, I'd think.

Yes, it does. It means assuming there is a UAP phenomenon that can be studied. If not—if it's just clutter in the LIZ and system malfunctions—then there's simply nothing there to study. And the comparison with Bigfoot isn't that far-fetched, I...
