Seismic Signals Attributed to Alien Meteor Actually Caused by Truck, Study Finds

Researchers debunk previous claims about an interstellar meteor, revealing misinterpretations of seismic data and challenging the evidence of alien technology.

A team led by Johns Hopkins University has debunked claims that a meteor believed to contain alien technology was responsible for seismic signals detected in 2014; the actual source was a truck.
The seismic data, initially thought to indicate the meteor's impact near Papua New Guinea, was misinterpreted; further analysis showed the meteor likely landed over 100 miles away from the searched location.
Recovered materials from the ocean floor, previously thought to be alien in origin, are now believed to be ordinary meteorites or terrestrial contaminants.
The findings challenge the notion of an interstellar origin for the meteor, with velocity estimates and the supposed evidence of alien technology being questioned.
The team will present their findings at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2024, casting doubt on previous claims of extraterrestrial intelligence.
