#2Uh, i already felt like star wars is slowly starting for real. I am not into (pop) sci-fi movies, but i‘m up for some sci-no.

#3Seems to have nothing to do with aliens and the article is in such broken English it’s almost incomprehensible.

#4> "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."
Wouldn't this only work for iron fragments of a meteor? If the theory is that it's made of something else, then I don't think this would be helpful.

#5Interesting pitch: To conduct this kind of search & retrieve project for an object out in space would cost $1B+, so we'll look here on earth at this obvious outlier which government agencies have already stated they are confident has come from outside our solar system.
I mean it makes a certain type of probabilistic sense, and in multiple ways. If you fund this there's a better-than-lottery chance that you'll at least be part of something big, whether alien tech is in there or not...

It's possible that it's an iron alloy. Which can be stronger than iron, and also magnetic.
But in regards to feasibility of such a project, I feel that 10km range is a major understatement. Think of the effort it took to find fragments of Malaysia Flight 370, even with a pretty narrow path. And that search was the most expensive search operation in history at $155MM [1].

#7So the only thing that has been confirmed is that it is a meteorite from outside of the solar system. Jumping to the conclusion that it is "possible alien tech" seems a liiiittle bit of a stretch.

#8This is Avi's second questionable alien obsession/quest. Not sure if it is something mental, grift, or perfectly rational impulse to check out incredibly unlikely but incredibly amazing possibilities.
