Avi Loeb, Harvard's premiere alien hunter, has become the first person to ever analyze an object from outside of our Solar System.
The Galileo Project's journey to the waters outside of Papua New Guineaultimately gathered more than 700 spherules, 57 of which it earmarked for more extensive analysis.
That study, Loeb writes, showed that five of the tiny marbles "originated as molten droplets from the surface of IM1 when it was exposed to the immense heat from the fireball generated by its friction on air" back in early 2014, when the object was first detected as it crashed to Earth. What's more, those five pieces "showed a composition pattern of elements from outside the solar system" that were "never seen before," he says — a finding which, if it's corroborated by independent experts, could have significant historical implications.
The device sifted out everything else from the bottom of the ocean and, using its powerful magnets, collected only those with high quantities of iron and other compounds believed to be part of meteors that originated outside of our solar system.
