Although one section of the press presents him as a “UFO hunter” from Harvard, the truth is that Abraham, Avi, and Loeb are more. He is Director of the Galileo Project, Founding Director of the Black Hole Initiative at Harvard University, and Director of the Institute for Theory and Computation at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He was chair of the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University for a decade (2011–2020), a member of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, and past chair of the National Academies Board of Physics and Astronomy. But logically classifying him as a UFO hunter is more surprising. Especially during his last scientific expedition in the Pacific Ocean, he would have used it An interstellar hook for ocean floor analysis. And find “something”..
Avi Loeb uses the aforementioned hook to find what he believes may be fragments of an alien meteorite, a tentacle-like compound sweeping the ocean floor. Collect potential samples of interstellar rocks. Loeb has made a name for himself in his years-long quest to find artifacts from extraterrestrial civilizations. Although he is best known for his theories about the interstellar object Oumuamua, which passed Earth in October 2017, or the last anomaly known as IM1, fell into the Pacific Ocean in 2014.
Loeb is convinced It came from outside our solar system It fell into our seas with incredible speed and its location was later confirmed by the Department of Defense.
Not only that. Loeb argues that the meteorite may represent the technology of an alien civilization, a theory that has met with many skeptical voices. so,Why does Loeb think it’s alien matter?? In early June, Loeb and his team sailed aboard the Silver Star to explore the landing zone for the IM1 anomaly, and on June 21, they appeared to have hit their mark when they discovered small spherical fragments called “spirules.” A strange combination of iron, magnesium and titanium. Spheres are often a feature of meteorites or asteroids that are formed when they violently explode. While Loeb is certain that the smaller pieces, about a third of a millimeter in size, came from IM1, other scientists are skeptical, pointing out that different ground-based processes could also create the spheres.
Despite this, Loeb insists The “irregular” composition of the spheres makes them a good candidate for galactic origins, although more research is needed to determine what makes them so special, he notes. But the first analyzes were surprising, as Loeb explains: “Ryan Weed and Jeff Wynn took a closer look at this unexpected wire and concluded that its composition is anomalous compared to man-made alloys.”
The team is now waiting Analyze the samples with a spectrometer at Harvard To identify the isotopes in And who knows? There is still a small chance that they came here from a completely different star system. That it came from another civilization is, for now, interstellar far away.
