Tomorrow, I’m hosting a live Reddit AMA!
Ask me anything about astronomy, SETI, SkyMapper, SkySphere, citizen science, UAP data, or our goal of building a global network that continuously observes the sky.

We are very close to reach our goal on @kickstarter.com with our SkySphere, an intelligent all-sky camera designed to detect natural phenomena in the sky, as well as human-made ones or even extraterrestrial ones... Join us! #SETI #UAP @setiinstitute.bsky.social
Scientific progress depends on independent peer review, open debate, and stable support—not shifting political priorities. I oppose the proposed OMB rules that could weaken scientific freedom and international collaboration. agu.quorum.us/campaign/163...
After several years of discussion within the IAA SETI Committee, we reached an international consensus on the updated SETI post-detection protocol.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence: independent verification, transparent communication, and data that can be trusted.
We are launching today the SkySphere on Kickstarter, a real-time all-sky monitoring system designed to continuously observe, detect, and record activity overhead while contributing to a connected global observation network built around trusted, real-time sky awareness.

Walking through Toulouse tonight, where I grew up, while friends, colleagues, and family message me as they watch me on national French TV talking about extraterrestrial life… I think of the 20-year-old who left this country believing he had no future here.
Que de chemin parcouru.
I am on French national TV tonight talking about the search for life in the universe and why I believe we will get an answer very soon to this question. www.france.tv/france-2/dir...
We monitor roads, networks, and buildings constantly.
But the sky above us is getting more crowded every year and most people still have zero awareness of what crosses it daily.
That’s the problem SkySphere is trying to solve.

Europe just had another reminder: centralized radar is not enough against low-flying drones.
When a drone drops altitude and disappears from alerts, interception becomes impossible.
Time for decentralized, meshed sky-monitoring networks like @skymapper.bsky.social

Earlier this week, we announced our partnership with
@skymapper.bsky.social, and @allplanets.bsky.social gave a demonstration of the platform during a special #SETILive using a telescope in Chile from San Francisco. Watch the full episode: youtube.com/live/czTy4wD... 🧪 🔭 👩🔬

Romania says this is the "most serious" incident in its territory since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, which has seen drones from both sides hit Nato countries in the region.
SkySphere is a 180° all-sky AI camera by SkyMapper. Drones, aircraft, satellites, meteors, the occasional UAP — it watches the entire sky above you and pings you the moment something shows up.
PRESS RELEASE
The IAA SETI Committee announced today updated rules for evaluating and revealing the detection of extraterrestrial intelligence.
A University of Manchester astronomer has led a major international overhaul of the rules governing how scientists announce evidence of ETI to the world. 🧪
