Scientist Believes Alien Technology Could Have Crash-Landed Into Pacific Ocean

A Harvard scientist has claimed alien technology may have crash-landed into the Pacific Ocean and is plotting a mission to find all about it.

Avi Loeb, a controversial astrophysicist, believes an interstellar object that crash-landed on Earth in 2014 was some form of spacecraft.

Last week, a US Space Command (USSC) report confirmed that the object was from another star system.

The agency concluded that the projectile 每 which streaked across the sky off the coast of Manus Island, Papua New Guinea 每 was a meteor.

However, professor Loeb is of a different view. He claimed that the object could have been built by extraterrestrials.

"Our discovery of an interstellar meteor heralds a new research frontier,§ the Harvard astronomer wrote in an essay for The Debrief.

"The fundamental question is whether any interstellar meteor might indicate a composition that is unambiguously artificial in origin. Better still, perhaps some technological components would survive the impact," he added.

Loeb has spent decades studying astronomy and more recently has been dwelling on the possibility that life exists beyond Earth.

His extraordinary claims frequently make headlines and he has faced criticism from others in his field over his outlandish extraterrestrial theories.

In his essay, he noted that a retrieval expedition could be achieved using ※scooping§ magnets to explore the 10 square kilometre region of the Pacific Ocean where the object is thought to have landed.

※My dream is to press some buttons on a functional piece of equipment that was manufactured outside of Earth,§ he added.
