Astronomer plans $1.5 million expedition to recover possible alien technology in the ocean
An astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics is planning a $1.5 million expedition to recover what he believes could be alien technology resting on the ocean floor. A meteor traveling at more than 100,000 mph exploded and fell in the South Pacific eight years ago, and academics like Professor Avi Loeb believe it was from another star system, according to a report. By recover ing the debris from that meteorite, Loeb said he hopes to discover its origins, even going so far as to suggest it could be alien Technology . The object is designated CNEOS 2014-01-08, and was first detected by satellites in 2014, according to the report. After receiving data from its detection, Loeb and Amir Siraj, who was at Harvard University studying astrophysics at the time, postulated in 2019 that it was not from Earth’s solar system. “It was moving very fast, about 40 kilometers per second, when it exploded in the lower atmosphere,” Lo...
