A scientists who are forced to apologise over ‘planet’ photos which was actually piece of chorizo.

Don't we already have another thread about this guy?

The phrase "Loeb maintains that there is a chance that the object was extraterrestrial in origin..." struck me as very funny. Or did they change the definition of 'extraterrestrial' without telling me?

I hope he's right but I have my doubts. He seems a bit too eager.
He'd better focus on his UFO investigation project.

One point five million won’t do much unless he has specific coordinates to search in that are credible.

Wait they are looking for fragments of a two foot object that fell and blew up 8 years ago on the ocean floor? Good luck with that one... I mean why the wait?

It was a review of military data that pointed out this unusual meteorite hitting the atmosphere.

He's definitely open minded and his theories on 'Oumuamua have definitely been intriguing. I say... why not!

Like finding a needle in a haystack!? Um no, because one might actually find a needle in a haystack.

My guess he will blow the 1.5 and come up with a bit of nothing like that cat who was a foot doc and claimed any little bit of foreign object removed from a person was an alien implant.

There is nothing far fetched until said pieces are discovered, analyzed and conclusion are drawn.

Don't rule out that he could produce a TV show that chronicles his search. Week after week of absolutely nothing found. It's been done before, there are a lot of gullible people in this country.

Man, I never thought I would miss watching, "Finding Bigfoot". How could they cancel it when they hadn't found Bigfoot yet?
