There’s a lot of intrigue over the objects a physicist and his team have found—and quite a bit of disagreement.
Harvard physicist Avi Loeb went to Papua New Guinea—one that may have originated from outside our solar system before crashing into the Pacific Ocean, around 50 miles off the Papua New Guinean coast, in 2014. He had high hopes that it might have carried with it evidence of alien life.
Merely finding the area where the possible interstellar meteor, CNEOS1 2014-01-08, struck Earth nine years ago was a difficult undertaking. The object was presumably movingAstronomers generally associate such a high velocity with objects that travel huge distances and potentially cross the unfathomable emptiness between star systems.
Exploring that far-out explanation first required Loeb to actually pinpoint the meteor’s crash site. So in addition to U.S. military satellite imagery hinting at the object’s composition, Loeb needed precise telemetry for the thing’s path. He checked earthquake sensors in the South Pacific, and narrowed CNEOS1 2014-01-08’s likely impact zone to a patch of ocean off the coast of Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.
So it’s possible those spherules really are the remains of CNEOS1 2014-01-08. But the same data that might connect the spherules to the 2014 meteor don’t necessarily say anything about the object’s origin, and whether it’s a hunk of a derelict alien probe… or just a weird rock from deep, deep space. Evidence of construction—say, patterns in the spherules’ internal structures—might point to the former.
