A Harvard astrophysicist believes that a meteor crash from 2014 may have actually been a spacecraft from an alien civilization.

The roughly two-foot-long meteor crashed in the Pacific ocean, roughly 100 miles off the coast of Papua New Guinea, and is made up of a strange material composition, according to NPR. “The material of it is tougher than iron, based on the data, so the question is whether it’s just an unusual rock or perhaps a spacecraft from another civilization,” Harvard professor Avi Loeb told Sunrise. “I was able to receive full funding for this expedition to Papua New Guinea and we will scoop the ocean floor and figure out the composition of the object.”


Loeb is expected to spend some $2.2 million on a recovery mission to determine the origin of and any other relevant data on the meteorite, including whether the material is an alloy and therefore manufactured by intelligent alien life forms, according to Yahoo.

The United States Space Command had previously confirmed that the meteorite (or alien spacecraft) was not from our star system, and may have been one of the first ever interstellar objects to hit Earth. Once the materials are retrieved and analyzed, they will be displaced at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, Yahoo News noted.
