The main strategies of the present SETV (Search for Extraterrestrial Visitation) Project, one specific branch of the more general SETI project, are widely described and discussed, after showing the restrictions of the standard SETI procedures, such as the well-known Microwave Observing Project. An historical description of the first steps and scientific foundations of the SETV research is presented in detail, in particular: a) the first SETA (Search for Extraterrestrial Artifacts) theoretical studies and observational attempts that started at the end of the years -70; b) the theoretical concept of "interstellar migration" and the "diffusion equations" that, during the same years, were derived from a bio-astronomical application of stellar statistics and stellar evolution. Subsequently the main tasks and goals of the SETV project are introduced as they are conceived at the present time: the scientific search for robotic and/or inhabited probes that might be present both in the Solar System and on Earth. The possible reasons of interstellar migrations are discussed, together with propulsion systems that, according to most recent physics theories, might be employed to permit interstellar travel. A technical description of the necessary observational sensing devices of astrophysical kind, which are strategically and tactically intended to be employed to verify some theoretical predictions both in some critical areas of the Solar System and on Earth, is described. Concerning the possibility that space devices originated from exogenous intelligence too can visit Earth, the attention is drawn to some unknown aspects of still unexplained atmospheric anomalies. It is shown how a rigorous study of such anomalies can permit an important advancement in fundamental physics, which could come both from the understanding of the physical mechanism with which some (poorly understood so far) natural phenomena occur, and from the understanding of some exotic propulsion systems if they are produced by an extraterrestrial intelligence visiting our planet. The importance of studying the anomalies on Earth is to distinguish which ones of them might be possibly due to extraterrestrial intelligence, if this is really the case, and which ones are due to natural phenomena. The paper is accompanied with a rich bibliographic reference source concerning astronomy and physics general subjects, SETI, SETA, SETV, canonic (including Dyson theory) and exotic propulsion and transportation systems, and the physics of atmospheric anomalies.
