Highlights: The remains of a meteor were found near Papua New Guinea in 2014. The meteor is believed to have fallen from the solar system. It is not known if the meteor is from the same place as the one that fell from the sky. The discovery was made by a team of scientists from the University of New Guinea and the Australian National Institute of Science and Technology (ANIS), which is based in Papua New Guinean. The ANIS says it is investigating the possibility that the meteor may have fallen to Earth from another planet.


A meteor fell in the Pacific ten years ago. The US government has confirmed that it will not come from the solar system. But


Last summer, Avi Loeb, former director of the astronomy department at the prestigious American University Harvard, led a highly publicized expedition to the Pacific.

Its goal: to try to find the remains of a mysterious object that fell from the sky in 2014 near Papua New Guinea.

Apparently the fishing is good!

With his team, he found fragments at the bottom of the ocean that he attributed to this meteor, known as IM-1 (or CNEOS 2014-01-08).

After analysis, Avi Loeb, a scientist open to the idea that extraterrestrial civilizations could get lost in our neighborhood, does not exclude that these tiny pieces are of artificial origin: in other words, according to this professor who is as respected as he is criticized , they could be the debris of a vessel from elsewhere… Hypotheses which, one imagines, are far from unanimously accepted within the scientific community.
