"Alien Technology Signal Revealed as Passing Truck, Study Finds"

TL;DR Summary
A new study suggests that the vibrations previously thought to be caused by an interstellar meteor were likely generated by a passing truck, casting doubt on the success of the interstellar fishing expedition led by astronomer Avi Loeb. The study challenges the basis for the search area and the success of the expedition, suggesting that the recovered spherules may be ordinary meteorite fragments or particles mixed with terrestrial contamination. Despite this, Avi Loeb remains steadfast in his claims and plans another expedition to search for larger pieces of the meteor.
