WATCH: “Nothing Else Like It”, Claims Scientist Who Recovered Interstellar Material

The truth is out there. …

WLTR previously reported on Harvard Scientist Avi Loeb’s expedition to gather and analyze fragments of what is believed to be the first interstellar object recovered by man.

Loeb claims that his team has concluded a series of tests regarding the object’s composition that indicate the object is incredibly unique.

The tests revealed the fragments to have unusually high concentrations of Beryllium, Lanthanum, and Uranium. …

According to Loeb, this high concentration and combination of elements, as well as the striations present in the fragments may indicate an artificial origin.

In Loeb’s own words, there is “Nothing else like it.” Here’s what we currently know:

Cardano founder, CEO, and crypto billionaire Charles Hoskinson co-authored the paper with Loeb and explained:

“We discovered spherules that appear to be from a different solar system due to their ultra high abundance of Beryllium, Lanthanum, and Uranium (thus BeLaU).

The paper should be online soon and we can’t wait for the peer review process.

We also have a fairly good idea where the large fragments landed for the next expedition, which will allow us to determine if the object was artificial or just part of another planet’s core.

Regardless, this result means we likely have the first extrasolar object ever recovered.”

News Nation provided some background information on the interstellar object known as Im1:

U.S. government satellites detected the meteor in 2014 when it crashed and tracked the crash site to the South Pacific Ocean.

The object was confirmed to have an interstellar origin by the U.S. Space Command to NASA in 2022.

Scientists were able to detect this by the rate of speed the fireball was moving, which was faster than 95% of all stars in the vicinity of the Sun, the report said.

Former YouTuber and disclosure activist Mike Colangelo provided this statement from Loeb:

“Wonderful news! For the first time in history, scientists analyzed materials from a meter-size object that originated from outside the solar system.

The object lit up the sky over the Pacific Ocean nearly a decade ago and its bright fireball was tracked by US government satellites.”

“A more exotic possibility is that this unfamiliar abundance pattern, with uranium being nearly a thousand time more abundant than the standard solar system value, may reflect an extraterrestrial technological origin.

These interpretations will be considered critically along with additional results from spherule analysis in future work.”

Avi Loeb confirms that the metal fragments have an interstellar origin. No proof of ET technology yet though.

Vice News reports that not all scientists are on board with the recent discovery: “Possible meteor remnants found below the waves are likely interstellar, Avi Loeb’s team says, but other scientists think the conclusion is premature.”

The Independent writes:

Professor Loeb said he he was confident that more objects would be found like “IM1”, the name he has given to that object he claimed to be an interstellar visitor.

He suggested that there could be “a few million such objects reside within the orbit of the Earth around the Sun at any given time” and that “some of them may represent technological space trash from other civilizations”.
