"Debunked: Interstellar Signals Turn Out to Be Earthly Origins"
Seismic monitoring data used to track a purported interstellar meteor's path into the sea off the coast of Papua New Guinea may actually show a passing truck rumbling down a nearby road, casting doubt on the claim. The team of scientists who found tiny spherules on the seafloor, speculated to contain evidence of alien technology, may have used the wrong signal and looked in the wrong place. Furthermore, the velocity of the meteor was likely overestimated, and evidence for an interstellar origin was probably incorrect. The findings will be presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2024.
