Harvard scientist and theoretical physicist Avi Loeb believes that the interstellar object that crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2014 may contain traces of alien technology. The US Space Command (USSC) recently confirmed the meteor that entered Earth’s atmosphere in 2014 did not originate from our solar system, which makes it the first interstellar object to crash into the planet.
Avi Loeb, along with a student at Harvard, was actually the ones who identified the object years ago, but it was only recently confirmed to have interstellar origins. The Harvard professor is now calling for an expedition to locate the object, which could be achieved by using scooping magnets to explore the area of the Pacific in which it is thought to have crash landed. These blue-green meteoroids streaking across the summer sky are a lot more common and are a visual treat for astronomy fans.

Our discovery of an interstellar meteor heralds a new research frontier. The fundamental question is whether any interstellar meteor might indicate a composition that is unambiguously artificial in origin. Better still, perhaps some technological components would survive the impact My dream is to press some buttons on a functional piece of equipment that was manufactured outside of Earth,” said Loeb.
