Douglas Vakoch, who heads the METI International research organization in San Francisco that develops attempts to communicate with possible alien civilizations, told The Daily Beast the spherules are more likely to be literal Earth trash-the metallic byproduct of “human-generated pollution.” Maybe the “spherules,” as Loeb calls them, are fragments of alien craft-and thus the holy grail of modern astronomy: hard evidence that we’re not alone in the universe.īut at least one critic insists it’s much more likely the tiny metal bits are the very opposite of that. Fifty weird metal spheres no more than a few millimeters across, sprinkled in the sand on the seafloor. Well, Loeb and his team went diving, and found… something. He had high hopes that it might have carried with it evidence of alien life. Harvard physicist Avi Loeb went to Papua New Guinea looking for the remnants of what he believes is a rare meteor-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.
