But Loeb is confident they will recover what they are in search of. It's a challenge that might seem insurmountable in the vast existence of the Pacific Ocean. He now has the task of finding an object that most likely fractured on impact, leaving fragments possibly the size of pennies lost at the bottom of the ocean. I asked my student to check if any of the meteors, the fastest moving meteors, could have arrived to Earth from outside the solar system,' he explained.īelievers Divided Over Creation of New UFO Pentagon OfficeĪrmed with new evidence validating his findings, Loeb decided to take action and make moves to recover the object. 'I found the catalog that the government compiled of meteorites that were detected by government sensors that our missile warning system. Using data from government censors primarily used for national security as part of our missile defense system, Loeb and his student studied multiple meteors to see if any stood out.

While the data now confirms that the object is of interstellar origin - the path to confirming this wasn’t immediate. 'This would be the first time that humans put their hands on the material that makes an object that came from another star.' None of this is possible to confirm without physically studying the object, so the professor has planned an expedition to retrieve it that will cost over a million dollars in funding from private donors. Avi Loeb - the longest serving chair of Harvard Universities Department of astronomy - is convinced that this object may be alien technology or a meteorite of unprecedented material strength. A Harvard University professor believes a meteorite that crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2014 may be made of a material that one would expect to be in their favorite sci-fi movie.
