Avi Loeb Calls for an XPRIZE for Alien Technology

Original: Alien Technology Deserves an XPRIZE

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has published an essay arguing that the search for alien technology deserves an XPRIZE-style competition. He suggests that incentivising the hunt for evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, much as prize competitions have spurred private spaceflight and other breakthroughs, could accelerate research into unidentified objects and signals that may be technological in origin.

Why now: Loeb's ongoing, high-profile advocacy for treating unidentified objects as potential alien technology keeps drawing attention and debate.
