Meteor-like object was oddly strong, may be ‘some artificial alloy,’ scientists say
Researchers in the US, Germany and Papua New Guinea are analyzing samples
Scientific proof of the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life could be coming in less than a month, according to a top physicist at Harvard.
Tiny metal fragments recovered from the crash site of a meteor-like UFO that plunged into the Pacific Ocean in 2014 were strong enough to potentially be ‘some artificial alloy,’ according to Harvard physics professor Avi Loeb.
‘There is a chance that it’s artificial – that it’s a spacecraft,’ said Loeb, leader of the recovery efforts to dredge the fragments off the coast of Manus Island this June.
Loeb, who is also the director of the Institute for Theory and Computation at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said that the results of this month’s analysis could ‘definitely’ reveal humanity’s ‘first contact’ with aliens.
‘I am expecting further news within a month,’ Loeb told the Daily Star. ‘That’s the hope.’
Loeb reports that no less than four research institutions are currently training their scientific equipment and personnel on samples from the recovered metal fragments.
The fragments, 50 mostly iron spheres about 0.1 to 0.7mm in diameter, likely came from an object that originated outside of our solar system — based on analysis by Loeb and a former student as well as scientists with US Space Command.
Loeb’s colleagues in Germany, Papua New Guinea and at two top universities in the United States are now busy scrutinizing the spheres to determine if their atomic isotopes, chemical composition and other details can prove an otherworldly origin.
‘We are in the process of finding out, within a month or so, what this meteor was made of and whether it is perhaps technological in origin or not,’ Loeb said.
