Avi Loeb believes he’s found fragments of alien technology

 A Harvard team led by professor Avi Loeb has retrieved some materials from a 2014 meteor that crashed into the ocean near Papua New Guinea. They suspect that these materials could be remnants of alien technology from another star system, reports cbsnews.com.

The team got the permission and the coordinates from the U.S. Space Command, which had detected the interstellar origin of the meteor with 99.999% confidence. 

The search area was about 10 km (6.2 mile) wide, roughly the size of Boston.

“We used the time difference between the light flash and the sound boom of the explosion to estimate how far the meteor traveled in the atmosphere,” Loeb explained, “That gave us a possible trajectory that matched the government’s data.”

The team rented a boat called the Silver Star and sailed along the projected path of the meteor. They dragged a sled with magnets attached to it behind the boat, hoping to catch any metallic fragments from the ocean floor....<<<Read More>>>...
