A new paper finds signals believed to be associated with the
crash of an object from outside our solar system were actually
related to a much more terrestrial cause: a truck.

In 2014, a meteorite fell to earth near Papua New Guinea,
landing in the ocean. A few years later, Dr. Avi Loeb, a
theoretical astrophysicist at Harvard, used seismic data
to pinpoint what he said was the site of the meteor and
retrieved debris from the ocean floor that he claimed was
a result of the crash.

Loeb used that debris and calculations of the meteor’s
path to determine it may have come from outside our solar
system, something the U.S. Space Force also supported.

However, a new paper being presented at the Lunar and
Planetary Science Conference finds a very different
explanation.

Loeb, whose work has been criticized for being speculative,
relied on seismic data to determine the meteor’s supposed
crash site.

But new analysis by planetary scientist Dr. Benjamin
Fernando found a very different explanation for the
seismic signals: a truck driving down the road.

. . .

The current "Alien Shows" will NOT accept this.

Note that these shows are almost an exact dup of
TV shows in the early 70s ... I'm old enough
to remember well.

DO love the guy with the straight-up combed
"Bart Simpson" hair though :-)
