Remains of extraterrestrial probe discovered in the Pacific?
Harvard professor, Avi Loeb, claims that objects from outside our solar system have been discovered on Earth for the first time. According to Loeb, this is the debris of an object mistaken for a meteorite that crashed into the Pacific Ocean near Papua New Guinea in 2014. An object with extraterrestrial origins?
Last year, a large-scale search for possible debris was launched under the leadership of Harvard professor and astrophysicist Abraham “Avi” Loeb.
Hundreds of square kilometers of seabed were searched using magnets regularly winched from the ship's deck. In all, 700 tiny metal balls were found, less than a millimetre in size and invisible without the aid of a microscope.
An initial analysis has already been carried out on 57 of these 'spherules'. According to Prof. Loeb, the analysis shows that these balls are indeed from another solar system.
According to the controversial Harvard professor, this is in fact a historic discovery. Artificial or natural origin? It's not yet clear, he says. “But the alloys found are certainly unprecedented in our solar system.” They are said to contain “extremely high quantities” of heavy metals such as beryllium, lanthanum and uranium, in combinations that do not exist on Earth. “This is the first time humans have gotten their hands on material from a large object that arrived on Earth from outside our solar system,” according to the scientist.
According to Avi Loeb's hypothesis, yet to be verified and hotly contested in academic circles, this is the debris of an interstellar probe manufactured by a technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilization. The sinking probe would have crashed to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in 2014, after melting upon entering the Earth's atmosphere.
