Aliens, maybe it’s the gods. Why are we so susceptible to great leaps of foolishness.
Why do grown men choose to be clowns 🤡
I’m extraterrestrial… Gimme my balls back🎉
I’m not saying it was aliens but, it was aliens. 😂
No such thing. Just demons.
@The Average Servanthow dare you call Putin a Demon .
*This is awesome to find just years before we ruin the earth because of our pollution, wars, nukes, etc.*
Aliens shot it down to earth since it would keep our scientists busy spending out tax dollars.
I’ll believe it when Neil DeGrasse Tyson confirms it. Let me go check to see if he’s talking about this 😅
don’t expect clear answers from him 😅 he need hard proof or maybe ufo infront of him to accept 😂😂😂 moreover he accepts many other things which are theories..
as earlier said by Evi loeb people like him only talk about science and don’t contribute anything to science 😂😂 this statement got me lol
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the Dr. Phil of Physics. He’s not one to base your opinions on.
Neil “deDumbAss” Tyson 🤦♂
Yes 😆
Avi Loeb keeps making jokes about “buttons” in every interview. It makes me wonder whether or not he and his team have recovered or seen more then what they are announcing.
If that’s the case, then why not announce it to the world and claim scientific fame? Nobody is holding a gun to their heads over this
this is fascinating! have they ruled out the possibility that it is foreign tech composed on earth and re-entering the atmosphere? tho i guess if it was, the US would probably have a record of its launch…. interesting!
Pay attention.
You should try watching the video before you comment.
This is pretty huge, why would it have hundreds of times natural volume of EXTREMELY heavy elements??
Because those elements tend to be forged in certain stellar activity.
Beryllium is made in the furnace of a Supernova.
Uranium can also come from a Supernova, or from a collapsing Neutron star.
I am not sure if he is saying “Platinum” or “Lanthanum” here, but both are formed in heavy stellar objects. Platinum is made when two giant Neutron stars collide, and Lanthunum is made from Iron inside a slow-burning Neutron star.
These elements could have all been ejected from a major stellar object after spending a long time with their elements being created, but it would be a helluva discovery if they were.
@Anne Ahlert i think he is claiming as much, at least to their interstellar nature…thanks for the info

We need AI to counter Aliens.
How will AI help counter Aliens?
@GhostDog ZX-14well if we develop an ai that can expeditiously learn/teach itself new things it would be smart enough to find out almost anything theoretically, therefore an ai could develop technology to “counter” aliens
@cool yeah, I don’t think AI works that way. AI can only crunch numbers and make decisions based on what it knows. It uses data and processes it using the algorithms programmed into it. With advanced AI it can start learning (much as we do) but much faster. AI will one day be able process most things better and faster than humans – but not yet – and not yet with aliens. The problem is, AI like us doesn’t know what it doesn’t know. It needs data. So if we don’t have the data (which the lying government says we don’t), then AI won’t have it either. For example if we don’t understand interstellar travel, anti gravity, what these beings like to eat, then AI won’t know either. I think AI is a huge buzzword that’s being promised to do things that it cannot. Not yet anyway. However even if we could get it up current standards their AI would be even more advanced. These entities have been known to shut down nuclear facilities from the air. We would not be able to counter them with intelligence or force. They would be far far more advanced where our AI would be like an abacus to them.
@cool on the plus side, our AI can paint a picture, write a song for the aliens, and even make a deep fake by putting Tom Cruises head on the first alien visitor. 🤣
I am 100% sure it’s a UFO.
“It may well be easier to collect the information from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean than from politicians in Washington DC.” Yep, and about a million times more enjoyable.
I love avi loeb he’s a rare breed for sure! He’s in it for the pure excitement of discovery ❤
Avi Loeb is a hack…… NGT would kick his booty!
Spores
imagine we build ships out of this alloy
LOVE Avi Loeb. ❤❤
Avi Loeb is helping to save science, by actually doing it, rather than commenting on it. He’s the real deal. Forget waiting for Washington to admit anything.
There could be billions of years between intelligent species across the galaxy. It’s more likely that the human race will go extinct billions of years before another race of intelligent beings rise.
Separation of elements when it dropped into ocean water?
If it had not melted….would it be gathering information on this planet? Is it V’GER here to merge with the Creator?
Whoa, going old school!
You can look with cold, hott, all the waves of light, gravity, and im sure you have.
I would imagine that the ocean floor would be a treasure trove of space rocks just sitting there.
Interesting comment because treasure trove makes it sound like there all just in one place. The ocean is so vast it’s hard to comprehend. When you spend a lot of time traversing the open ocean looking at sonar, you immediately realize anything that goes down will be near impossible to find again. Even when you have the exact GPS coordinates, it’s incredibly difficult to find.
But I always say, the absence of evidence, is not the evidence of absence.
The absence of evidence with a strong desire to see something creates a ripe opportunity for false pattern recognition
Correct, it just means there is no evidence. None, zero, zilch, nada, bupkiss.
The black stone that the father of the three major faiths Abraham ( peace Be upon him ) rebuilt the kahbah . As time goes on the believers of multiple false fake gods and these idols took over kahbah. Not until Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) the seal of Allah(swt)( the one and only god ) the most merciful most beneficial destroyed the idols and idealolgy and retook
The kahbah and completed the mission of the lord who commanded the prophets before him.
The black stone a miracle stone from the heavens
god is a punk B
Whites think they know everything when they don’t know shizit.
excitable guy
i’m worried I won’t have enough for rent
Yeah I’m right there with you dude.
6:58 “It may well be easier to collect the information from the bottom of the pacific ocean than from politicians in Washington DC”. So true… !
Budget deficit.
You shoulda checked it between 2014-2015. Other than that, I don’t believe it.
exciting material!
Súper nova.?
Wait… Did he say there is Latinum in these things?
Well that settles it then– it must be the wreckage of a Ferengi ship! 🖖😉
(But then again, they also found Beryllium. So maybe they’re using Beryllium Spheres, like in Galaxy Quest.😏)
This gentleman does want to believe a bit too much.
Any scientists who still continue to laugh at the possibilities of e.t.’s aren’t very bright… I feel bad for them
Loeb has a book launching and this is most likely a publicity stunt. I’ll bet another team could search randomly and find the same thing in no time as you can probably find those all over the ocean floor.
But no one else did. Someone could have done the calculations and ‘discover’ relativity theory but it was Einstein who did it. Same goes for Newton and all other scientists and their ‘discoveries’ in every field of science. What is your point?
@Oliver Kaiser Science proved that we are made of interstellar matter, atoms that came from distant dead stars. Saying you found interstellar matter in the form of tiny spheres is saying you found bigger atoms in clumps…and are claiming a discovery? You can’t claim a discovery backwards.
Nothing but a publicity stunt. Just wait.
Sweeet! That one looked like a miniature planet! ?😄
Very nice, but if this is an indication of interstellar civilization who created this BB, a lot of work for knowing that interstellar beings and/or ultra-terrestrials are here now. Too me it is not exciting, great for a scientific project but irrelevant to everyone else.
Yes, this really is news <3
I have heard Lester say that closing so many times it literally makes me clench my jaws to hear it again! … and again…
Those little balls could be sending some distress beacon back to another world an we dont even know it .
lol doubtful
Loeb is a con man… the media needs to stop.
Waste of human intelligence and time
We know those extratesticles are out there somewhere.
Science is alive again!
It’s real if you believe 😂
boring
Gadi Schwartz sucks.. just sayin
So the aliens figured out how to travel 100s of light years thru space, have tech that can keep them alive during those long trips. But havent figured out how to land anywhere. Because aliens never land they crash.
😂
It is just space junk that is unknown. No proof of alien life. The entire thing is a scam and a hoax. We are alone.
Self-created.
@radioactivedrew would be cool to see how radioactive these are.
Under the belly button there is another button. Loeb shall we click the button.?
Points to Avi for saying that you should believe hard data and not conjecture or presumption.
Dr. Avi Loeb is often on EVENT HORIZON, John Michael Godier’s awesome Youtube channel about science, space and science fiction speculation! It’s really fun 🙂
How can you not like that guy? Wish i had him as a science teacher in highschool
People who go goofy when the topic of Extraterrestrial civilizations is brought up are generally lying or unimaginative. Questions framed through apologies are poorly framed and likely to garner less than useful answers. People who are able to process and consider such concepts, and speak coherently to them, provide valuable insights and useful information, and are not prone to going goofy. This report would be better made in an academic setting perhaps.
A lot of people get stuck on the idea of physical travel over vast reaches of space. Many times the conclusion is that since “it can never happen” then “why bother speculating?” Only when we can coherently talk about Extraterrestrial civilizations will we be able to make solid progress with our own.
So far, astronomers have discovered only two confirmed interstellar objects (ISOs) in our solar system, ‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. They couldn’t have been more different from one another: ‘Oumuamua lacked any kind of cometary tail, whereas Borisov looked like a typical comet. Jul 15, 2023
I am looking for other reports on this object. It is fascinating. Thanks for featuring it in a news segment. 🙂
what if it was a response to nasa sending messages into space? what if we send a message on the same trajectory path as the object? 🤔
What about the Baltic Sea anomaly?
What if alleged interstellar objects are frozen N2 like Pluto?
Seems like a jump to go from iron filings to….Aliens.
I think they’re chunks of a planet that exploded (hence the high speed)
I feel bad for Gadi he loves UFOs and aliens but NBC tells him what to do and speak about
Now go back there to find bigger pieces of it…
Even if it is from a supernova, that would be amazing!
To think those fragments could have been on their way to earth from so far away that when the supernova happened, earth wasn’t even fully formed and cooled yet.
It’s interesting enough to speculate on what the composition could tell us about where and when the star that went supernova was located
I think that would be as interesting if not more than speculation about aliens.
I’d like to know if the spectra analysis would give any indication of what star system’s composition would be most likely to have supernova that produces this specific alloy
Wish school would teach us stuff like this
Beryllium spheres of sufficient density?
Well said Mister Loeb 👍 And by the way, if Grusch was a liar, he would be in jail before getting in the Congress….
Exactly people don’t talk about that enough. All three of them would not throw their retirement and freedom away going to prison for lying to congress for nothing. That should be all the evidence of they’re truth people need. They had absolutely no benefit to doing this…nothing, they’re telling the truth.
With the release of starfield, it is probably following the destruction of an interstellar ship that this item fell.
Avi will win the Nobel when he finally confirms this was of artificial origin. I can see it on his face that he is onto something. We just need science to slowly unfold the truth. But much faster than DoD giving stuff back to congress.
No sound
Can the overt enthusiasm shtick.
His last statement is priceless.
Why is matter so stable?!
Non- human is not extra-terrestial so why repeat that dis-info, NBC? Could be test animals.
Considering the fact we knew where to look etc leaves alot of doubts for me that those Airplanes in the past where really ever lost..Really makes you wonder why the cover up. I’ve knew for a while now that anything moving in the sky is tracked by nasa etc…They have some tech that tracks any flying object.. I guess that does support UAP UFO…
Very interesting. It’s good to keep an open mind but not be not be feeble minded. Certain subjects scare poeple, much of it is conditioned fear of ridicule.
My kids ain’t got enough to eat but whitey on the moon.
👀💧aaaaaaaaand GERMS!!!!!!!
Professor Loeb will be studied in the world’s top universities forever.
We’re lucky to have him.
Nobody cares about interstellar objects unless they’re indicative of life, Avi.
So if I am getting this right. It appears as if you think and some others think that those little beebee’s of material gathered from the sea floor are evidence of a space probe that burnt up in our atmosphere that came from outside our solar system.
Oh no, not Loeb again.
I like turtles 🐢
