After US Space Command this month apparently confirmed the findings of Harvard physicist Avi Loeb and his research partner Amir Siraj, who proposed that a meteor that crashed off the northeast coast of Papua New Guinea in 2014 arrived from beyond our solar system, Loeb suggested that it might be possible to recover the remains of that interstellar object.<\/p>\n

Sharing his thoughts on the subject in an article posted on The Debrief website, Loeb pointed out that while a mission to retrieve a sample from an interstellar object in space like \u2018Oumuamua might cost a pretty penny, it would take a lot less money to recover the remnants of such an object that is already located on our planet. Loeb, who previously speculated that \u2018Oumuamua might be of artificial origin, ventured a similar hypothesis regarding the 2014 meteorite.<\/p>\n
