(Abridged) The Galileo Project aims to investigate Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) using an integrated software and instrumentation system for multimodal tracking of aerial phenomena and anomaly recognition. This study aims to highlight outlier events within the high-dimensional parameter space of collected measurements. The project employs var...
This work is entirely about astrophysics. The discussion is purely informative, only at times at a fairly advanced level, and partly didactic. The intention of the author is to present the most up-to-date knowledge in the sector, especially on the basis of the most recent observational research and theoretical models capable of explaining the resul...
This course aims to introduce students and science enthusiasts, prepared to approach critical and logical-deductive problems, to the concepts that underlie the current astrophysics and cosmology, with frequent excursions into the world of quantum, atomic and particle physics. An attempt was made to prepare a targeted synthesis able to guide student...

IN ITALIAN L’investigazione scientifica di possibili intelligenze extraterrestri negli ultimi 20 anni è stata soprattutto caratterizzata dalla ricerca in banda radio di possibili segnali intelligenti provenienti da pianeti extrasolari, ma recentemente, soprattutto a causa del globale insuccesso del metodo standard di ricerca, nuove vie scientifiche...
A breakthrough in scientific, metaphysical and philosophical knowledge, this book – in light of the hypothesis that matter and consciousness are strictly connected into a single unity – presents an entirely new theory about the way in which information is non-locally propagated through an intelligent Universe and the way in which matter is created...
At the end of the 19th century Sigmund Freud discovered that our acts and choices are not only decisions of our consciousness, but that they are also deeply determined by our unconscious (the so-called "Freudian unconscious"). During a long correspondence between them (1932-1958) Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Gustav Jung speculated that the unconscious c...
This important abstract was not accepted for a 2015 IAA conference presentation. I am going to present it to another scientific conference very soon.

One of the most important reasons why unsuccessful results have been obtained so far by the SETI Project is due to the fact that no sure targets to aim at have been available up-to the present state of research. All-sky surveys, even if very accurate and complete, might result to be time-consuming. SETI needs at least one effective "viewfinder" in...
The possibility of interstellar migration has been theorized during the past thirty years in the form of “Dysonships” that, using non-relativistic propulsion systems, are able to colonize the Galaxy in a relatively short time compared to the age of the Galaxy and consequently penetrate inside our solar system too. Observational evidence of this can...
TECHNICAL POWERPOINT PRESENTATION
After a brief but dense introduction to the basic principles of quantum physics, in this presentation I will describe and discuss in depth the ontological variant of David Bohm's quantum theory focusing on the concept of "non-locality" and how it engages in the "implicate order" of the Universe, where for the first time in physics "consciousness" (...
After a brief introduction regarding the basic principles of quantum theory, I will concentrate the attention on the issue of “non-locality” by describing and discussing the theory and the experimental proofs which underlie the physical mechanism of quantum entanglement. In the first case I will describe the EPR thought experiment and David Bohm’s...
Anomalous atmospheric light phenomena tend to occur recurrently in several places of our planet. Statistical studies show that a phenomenon's real recurrence area can be identified only after pondering reported cases on the population number and on the diffusion of communication media. The main scientific results that have been obtained so far afte...

2010 POWERPOINT PRESENTATION (at the European Parliament)
About the source of the intuition of Nikola Tesla's inventions.
A luminous phenomenon reoccurs in the area around Avalon Beach, Australia, since the year 2000 up to the present time (2004). Digital photographs, videos and low-resolution spectra (as from an observational project by the author) have been constantly and accurately acquired by documenter Chris Beacham, and then analyzed by the author.
Spherical unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), of both plasma and solid-like kinds, have often been observed in the world. Several monitoring campaigns have permitted us to know better some structural properties and temporal behaviour of such phenomena. On the basis of what has been observed so far, and considering the deduced constants that cha...
On the basis of the experience of this author, a decade of scientific research on earthlights is amply discussed and pondered from the point of view of instrumental measurements. After an introduction that shows a brief synthesis of what has been done so far, all the different measurement techniques and tactical/strategic procedures that have been...
This book is a travel that brings the reader to penetrate dimensionally the infinitely small and the infinitely large in the Universe, ranging from quarks to galaxies, and to compare these extreme numbers with the numbers that people encounters in normal life here on Earth. Several numerical examples are illustrated all over the text in a sort of s...
Databases concerning UAP sightings are analyzed in depth through the examination of three specific samples describing anomalous events reported in the last 60 years in the confining US states of New York and Connecticut and the Canadian province of Ontario. Temporal, spatial and typological analysis of these data show that UAP databases, though not...
How authentic is UFO documentation? A lot of factors demonstrate --
doing a simple analysis -- that most of UFO photographic material, in
particular the one that circulates on the web, is totally unreliable. It
is not only a matter of lack of scientific method; it is mostly a simple
matter of lack of common sense. The common sense of people is cons...
Detailed review of the technical book on quantum physics by Dr. Arrigo Amadori and Dr. Luca Lussardi.
IN ITALIAN
This is a speculative book dealing with the concept of “Creation”. How did God create the Universe and how physical laws and natural and universal morphologies maintain a track of the creation process? A possible physics derived from “mind-matter interaction” is amply discussed all over the text, including scalar waves and their role in the mechani...

Some lab simulation of plasmas show a behaviour that resembles the double helix of DNA, including its capability of self-organization, replication and evolution. After discussing all the possible configurations where such a behaviour can be encountered in cosmic space, the discussion is entirely focussed on particular forms of plasma - a sort of an...
The subject of "quantum entanglement" in general doesn't seem to be
particularly considered in Europe in the form of popularizing books or
of educational physics projects. These authors have started to spread
out this kind of scientific culture in both forms, including
popularizing seminars too. Concerning the entanglement phenomenon,
recently, new...
We present a research proposal concerning the instrumented investigation of anomalous light phenomena that are apparently correlated with particular mind states, such as prayer, meditation or psi. Previous research by these authors demonstrate that such light phenomena can be monitored and measured quite efficiently in areas of the world where they...

1. The SETI Project and its restrictions The present SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Project is devoted to the search for signals coming from technological civilizations living in other planets. Due to their capability to cross efficiently the interstellar medium (Cocconi and Morrison, 1959), radio frequencies have been chosen as th...
Lab experiments and computer simulations by electronic engineers and plasma physicists such as Anthony Peratt and others seem to show a new model of the Universe, in which the electric force is predominant over gravitational force, so that a lot of astronomical phenomena need be reinterpreted. Non-neutrality of cosmic plasmas and its consequence in...
