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 ground-based project is complementary to traditional SETI, in that it searches for physical objects, and not electromagnetic signals, associated with extraterrestrial technological equipment.
Irrespective of the possibility that the Galileo Project may discover additional, or even extraordinary evidence for ETCs, at a minimum the Galileo Project will gather rich data sets that may foster the discovery of — or better scientific explanations for — novel interstellar objects with anomalous properties, and for potential new natural atmospheric phenomena, or in some instances terrestrial technology explanations for many of the presently inexplicable UAP.

String Theory is not a theory. It's a mathematical construct which is not testable, not disprovable as to whether it has anything to do with reality. A theory must be testable.
General Relativity is a theory. Testable. People have been testing it for 100 years. All they have managed to do is say, "yup, just what Albert's numbers said would happen." People have also been trying to disprove it. If someone ever does, why, they would be the next Einstein.

We wanted a scientific search for ET and today we got one , the Galileo Project has been announced which will conduct a scientific search looking for evidence of ET, it will be made up of a team of scientists from different institutions who will look through existing data in the search for evidence of ET Civilisations past or present , perhaps even interstellar travelers.
The team is being led by Avi Loeb who is a professor of science in the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University , some will know him as a proponent of the theory that Oumuamua wasn't just a space rock , a theory I have some sympathy with.
"Science should not reject potential extraterrestrial explanations because of social stigma or cultural preferences that are not conducive to the scientific method of unbiased, empirical inquiry," Loeb said in the statement. "We now must 'dare to look through new telescopes,' both literally and figuratively."
UAPs — also known as unidentified flying objects, or UFOs — are of particular interest now, following the recent release of an unclassified report by the Pentagon describing UAP sightings by members of the military, Loeb said. Of the 144 UAP sightings between 2004 and 2021 that were documented in the report, just one was identified with "high confidence" — as a deflating balloon. The rest remain unexplained, Live Science reported.

I think a scientific re-investigation of data conducted with open eyes is a good thing , hopefully professor Loeb and his team will find something interesting , fingers crossed they find something Extraterrestrial.

The Galileo project are looking at celestial observation data where SETI is listening for radio signals so they are two sides of the same coin.
