Sky360: Open-Source Global Sky Monitoring with Real-Time AI Detection of UAPs

To the point

Sky360 is an open-source, global citizen-science effort to deploy affordable sky cameras and AI to monitor the skies 24/7, detect and study anomalous unidentified aerial phenomena, and share data openly to democratize access and invite public participation, despite security concerns tied to a predecessor connected to US intelligence, cofounder Hopf relocating to Europe to decentralize development, and Nikola Galiot describing a SimpleTracker-based workflow that extracts frames, flags anomalies when ML models detect unusual trajectories compared with planes or birds, with about 20 stations already deployed across the US, Canada, and the Azores and a goal of real-time, networked data sharing.
