Harvard professor believes he may have found alien technology

>> ARE WE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE? IT IS THE RUSSIAN THE SCIENCES HAVE TRIED TO ANSWER AND WE MAY BE A STEP CLOSER TO ANSWERING. A TEAM OF RESEARCHERS BELIEVE THAT THEY DISCOVERED FRAGMENTS OF ALIEN TECHNOLOGY. THE PIECES WERE FROM A METER THAT LANDED IN THE OCEAN NEAR POPLAR, NEW GUINEA. THE TEAM HAS A LOT MORE DEBRIS TO SORT THROUGH IN THEIR RESEARCH. WE ARE JOIN NOW FOR MORE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. LET'S START WITH WHAT YOU FOUND. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE SPHERES YOU HAVE RECOVERED FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR? >> THANKS FOR HAVING ME. THESE ARE METALLIC MARBLES THAT WE IDENTIFIED THROUGH A MICROSCOPE. THAT IS A NEW WAY OF DOING ASTRONOMY. WE WERE USING MICROSCOPES. WE COLLECTED MAGNETIC MATERIAL FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR THAT IT IS TWO KILOMETERS DEEP AND FIRST WE PUT IT INTO VIALS. AS YOU SEE, I RECEIVED SOME OF THE MATERIAL BY FEDEX. AND THEN WE FILTERED OUT THE TINY PARTICLES. THIS IS FOR THE OBJECT THAT MOVED TOO FAST. IT CAME FROM INTERSTELLAR SPACE. IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT HUMANS PUT THEIR HANDS ON MATERIALS THAT ENTERED THE SOLAR SYSTEM FROM THE OUTSIDE. >> TWO SETS OF QUESTIONS. LET'S START WITH THE LITTLE MARBLE OBJECTS. HOW DO WE KNOW THOSE MEAN ANYTHING MORE THAN SOME COMBINATION OF THINGS THAT MELTED WHILE IT WAS ZOOMING THROUGH SPACE? >> BASED ON THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DAY THAT WE INFERRED THAT THE MATERIAL STRENGTH OF THESE METEORITES WERE HIGHER THAN ALL SPACE ROCKS CATALOGUED BY NASA. EVEN METEORITES. THE QUESTION IS WHAT WAS IT MADE OF. PERHAPS IT FORMED IN SOME NATURAL ENVIRONMENT THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM A PLANETARY SYSTEM LIKE THE SOLAR SYSTEM BUT PERHAPS ALSO IT IS TECHNOLOGICAL IN ORIGIN. A SPACECRAFT LIKE VOYAGER, IMAGINE VOYAGER GOING TO INTERSTELLAR SPACE AND COLLIDING WITH A PLANET AND BURNING U IN THE ATMOSPHERE. THIS WAS MOVING FASTER THAN 95% OF ALL-STARS IN VICINITY OF THE SUN. WE DECIDED TO GO OUT AND CHECK ANY LEFTOVERS FROM THAT METEOR EXPLOSION AND WE FOUND IT. WE ARE ANALYZING IT AND FIGURING OUT WHAT IT WAS MADE OF. >> THE OTHER QUESTION, WE DON'T GET THINGS ARRIVING FROM OTHER SOLAR SYSTEMS THAT OFTEN. HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW BIG A DEAL IT IS. >> THIS IS THE FIRST ONE IDENTIFIED BY U.S. GOVERNMENT CENSORS. WE DIDN'T DISCOVER ANY SUBJECT BEFORE. IT WAS HALF A METER IN SIZE AND IT RELEASED A FEW PERCENT OF THE HIROSHIMA BOMB ONE EXPLODED ABOVE THE PACIFIC OCEAN. WE WERE ABLE TO LOCALIZE THE PATH OF THE METEOR. WE FOUND THESE DROPLETS THAT WERE MELTED OFF OF ITS SURFACE. WHERE THEY WERE CONCENTRATED IN THE REGION. THE HOPE IS THAT WE CAN INFER WHETHER IT WAS ARTIFICIAL IN ORIGIN. JUST IMAGINE SEMICONDUCTORS BEING MELTED. THE DROPLETS WILL INCLUDE A MUCH HIGHER ABUNDANCE OF RARE ELEMENTS THAT ARE NOT FOUND IN SUCH CONCENTRATIONS IN NATURE. >>
