Have scientists found fragments of an alien spacecraft in the Pacific Ocean?

The Galileo Project made some interesting finds during their search for the remains of the meteor IM1 off the coast of Papua New Guinea. In this video, I'll take a closer look at the wire, iron shards, and spherules found by Astronomer Avi Loeb and his team.

IM1 is the first known interstellar meteor to ever hit Earth. It was detected by U.S. government sensors in 2014 and identified as an interstellar object candidate in 2019. It was confirmed by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 2022. This meteor is also known as CNEOS1 2014-01-08 and it crash-landed along the northeast coast of Papua New Guinea on January 8, 2014.

The Galileo Project is a research project launched in June of 2021 by co-founders Avi Loeb and Frank Laukien. Hosted by Harvard University, its goal is to bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs) to the mainstream of scientific research. It is complementary to traditional SETI, in that it searches for physical objects, and not electromagnetic signals, associated with extraterrestrial technological equipment.
