UAP Insight — Daily UAP & UFO News Aggregator

Avi Loeb proposes an extension to the Loeb Classification Scale designed to assess anomalous objects for signs of extraterrestrial artificial intelligence (SETAI). The extended framework adds a preliminary step to determine whether observational data can support inferences about object control, then applies the existing Loeb Scale, and finally evaluates which control architectures are compatible with the recorded data, using three exclusion tests (T1–T3).
