Avi Loeb believes that Oumuamua is an extraterrestrial object, and his latest claim is just as extraordinary. The former Harvard Univeristy astrophysicist professor wants to recover pieces of an interstellar meteor he claims fell to Earth in 2014 and into the Pacific Ocean after it arrived from outside our own solar system.
The purported object measures just 1.5-feet long, and it landed approximately 20- miles off the north coast of one of Papua New Guinea’s remote islands. Unfortunately, Loeb says it was struck with about 1^ of the force of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb, which means that only small fragments may be left. Should he get the funding for a such an expedition, we expect to see a Hollywood-style documentary on it sooner than later. For those wondering why he’s a former Harvard professor, it’s because the White House science and technology advisory committee offered him a position.

We’re planning to board the ship and build a sled and a magnet attached to it that will scoop the ocean floor. And we will go back and forth, like mowing the lawns across the region, 10 kilometers in size and collect with the magnets, all the fragments that are attracted to it, and then brush them off and study their composition in the laboratory,” said Loeb.
