A “runaway fireball” that plunged into water off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2014 could be an alien probe or extraterrestrial artifact, similar to US interstellar probes such as NASA’s “Voyagers,” Harvard professor Dr. . Avi Loeb to Fox News Digital.
That would be strong potential evidence of extraterrestrial life.
The space object crashed into the Bismarck Sea with a percentage of the energy force of the Hiroshima bomb in 2014, likely traveling “from the deep interior of a planetary system or a star in the thick disk of the Milky Way galaxy,” Loeb said.
It was originally classified as a meteor, but the object’s speed and trajectory were “outliers” that suggested it wasn’t tied to the sun’s trajectory, according to the Harvard professor, who along with his student Dr. Amir Siraj wrote a paper on the object. .

The Space Operations Command of the Space Force officially confirmed his findings to NASA, which was released April 6, 2022.
Loeb has since raised $1.5 million to fund a 10-day “fishing expedition” to retrieve pieces of the object from the ocean floor to study it.

“From a scientific point of view, it only takes one object that comes from an alien technological civilization to change future humanity,” Loeb told Fox News Digital during an interview in late March. “That’s why we want to know what all the objects are.”
What he and his team will see on their journey to Papua New Guinea is unknown, but he said he expects to find a “streak of fragments” on the ocean floor along the original path, with the smallest fragments at the beginning.

Loeb predicts they will see “about a thousand fragments larger than a millimeter, whereas for a stainless steel composition we would expect larger sizes, with dozens of fragments larger than a centimeter,” according to a scientific research paper.
The trip was originally scheduled for late May, but he told Fox News Digital on Saturday that it was pushed back to the summer.

“We built the machines to scoop out the ocean floor, which is about a mile deep,” Loeb said. “If the fragments are magnetic, we will use magnets to collect them and separate them from the mud. If the objects are not magnetic, we have a plan b.”
Loeb took center stage after the discovery of “Oumuamua,” a long, cigar-like object that flew past Earth in 2017.
LOEB TALK ABOUT THE EXPEDITION
Before the discovery of the object that crashed off the coast of Papua New Guinea, “Oumuamua” was considered the first interstellar object, and Loeb believed it to be a “light sail of artificial origin” sent from another civilization.
He argued his theory in a scientific paper, which became a controversial take on the discovery.

Other studies have suggested that other “Oumuamua-like objects” may be entering our solar system, some of which may contain life.
“The likelihood of galactic panspermia is highly dependent on the survival time of the putative organisms and the speed of the transporter,” according to a newspaper published in The astronomical magazine by Manasvi Lingam and Loeb.

During Loeb’s interview with Fox News Digital, conducted shortly after the Chinese spy balloon shot down along with three other unknown air objects over the course of eight days, urged the government to release raw data or share information with the scientific community so that more discoveries like these two interstellar objects can be made.
It can work for both communities, he argued.

“The sky is not classified. It’s only the censors that the government uses that are classified, and as a result the government is not releasing the highest quality data,” Loeb said.
“As far as we (in the scientific community) are concerned, if we find man-made objects, we’re happy to hand over the data to the government, because it’s of little interest to us.”

On the other hand, he believes the government is not “particularly interested” in objects or meteors from space, and it could be a mutually beneficial arrangement that would allow scientists to make more discoveries, such as “Oumuamua” or the object off the coast of Papua -New Guinea. .
Loeb referenced a January Department of Defense report that categorized 366 reports of UFOs since March 2020.

The report classified 26 cases as unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, 163 cases were balloons or “balloon-like entities” and six reports could be attributed to birds, debris such as plastic bags or weather conditions.
But about half of the new cases could not be explained and “appear to have exhibited unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities, and require further analysis,” the report said.

“We expect these reports to be a mixed bag,” Loeb said. But “an encounter with superior alien technology would provide humanity with the opportunity to gain new scientific knowledge beyond what we have learned in the past century.
“It would also give us a glimpse into our own technological future, offering a giant leap forward if we are wise enough to import its innovative content into our earthly lives.”
