## The Galileo Project for the Systematic Scientific Search for Evidence of Extraterrestrial Technological Artifacts

The goal of the *Galileo Project* is to bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs) from accidental or anecdotal observations and legends to the mainstream of transparent, validated and systematic scientific research. This project is complementary to traditional SETI, in that it searches for physical objects, and not electromagnetic signals, associated with extraterrestrial technological equipment.
