HUMANS have been fascinated about the theme of “first contact” for well over a century now, but according to one Harvard professor, it may be far closer than we currently anticipate.
Professor of Scientist and theoretical physicist Avi Loeb believes an object which crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2014 may have been alien technology.
Given that iron is the primary material in meteorites, Loeb added that this particular interstellar object which landed on our planet around eight years ago is an “outlier” as far as meteors are concerned.
“It was also an outlier in terms of its speed outside the solar system,” Loeb told NBC.
“It moved at least twice as fast as stars move around the sun in the vicinity of the sun.”
Loeb’s suggestion is not as far-fetched as it may initially seem either, with a recent memo from the Department of Defense’s Space Command confirming with 99.99% certainty the meteorite in question came from outside our solar system.
I want to believe!
