  • The Chairman of Harvard University's Astronomy Department, astrophysicist Avi Loeb, is about to launch an expedition to the South Pacific to search for alien technology that he believes crashed into the Pacific off Papua New Guinea
  • Professor Loeb, based on years of research & collaboration with the US military & their space surveillance videos, believes that a very strange meteorite that crashed into the Pacific in 2014 was an alien probe
  • The meteorite called CNEOS1 2014-01-08 travelled from outside our solar system & was sized at a 1/2 meter wide before it crashed
  • Dr. Loeb says it was made of extremely hard rock or metal, suggesting that it is not a meteorite at all
  • For 8 years he's been preparing his expedition, which is now approved by the government of New Guinea & set to depart this summer
  • Highly innovative technologies will be onboard including customized sand sifters, some with magnets & others like huge sieves to methodically search the targeted impact zone of a square kilometer on the Pacific Ocean floor
  • Loeb says they may come back with proof of alien life & technology, or of something very new, like a previously unknown metal from outer space.
