Last month, we looked at the work of Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb, head of The Galileo Project, and the discoveries his team made off the coast of Papua New Guinea. He was searching for the remnants of an interstellar meteor named IM1 (Interstellar Meteor One) using magnet sleds they dragged over the floor of the ocean. The tiny metallic spherules they located turned out to be amazing during scientific analysis, almost certainly having come from beyond our solar system and potentially (though not definitely… yet) technological in nature. Testing continues, but now a new wrinkle has entered the story. Officials in Papua New Guinea were reportedly “enraged” about the expedition, claiming that Loeb may have “stolen” the material without going through the proper channels to obtain permission to conduct his research. So they’re calling one of the preeminent scientists of the current era a thief? Give us a break. (Daily Mail)Read More
