If it's alien craft, they sure are terrible pilots!

While Loeb maintains that these objects - which are likely lying at the bottom of the sea - could be pieces of alien technology, it's also possible that they could be remnants of a supernova explosion.

Nooooooooo!

An interstellar object just means that it comes from outside the solar system. There is nothing particularly special about that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_object

Well, my old friend. I would find it rather spectacular and rather annoying if it hit me (well, depending on the size of it).

There's a very comprehensive interview with Dr. Loeb by DisInfluence, if anyone missed it:

This is what happens when you become irrelevant, you get so desperate for attention that you start looking for aliens. Sad, really.

It only took him ten minutes to compare himself to Galileo and then he makes a huge jump in logic to conclude that Oumuamua is artificial. He believes the only question remaining is "Who built it?" And he claims he's the only one following the scientific method! He mocks scientists attempting to explain interesting characteristics of Oumuamua with natural explanations when an artificial explanation answers everything, then he says these scientists are like "cave dwellers finding a cell phone". He grins from ear to ear when he says they're all mad fools because their theories were wrong. Of course he excludes himself from this cave dweller comparison because he figured it all out! Then he explains that his extraordinary claim does not require any extraordinary proof because sometimes they just don't, then he gives examples of what he considers extraordinary claims like dark matter that actually have extraordinary proof that they exist.

He says that these scientists all have huge egos and always want to be right all the time and... wow, he has absolutely no self-awareness. It sounds like has a big chip on his shoulder and his explanations focus on topics he feels are relevant because they upset him.

The chances to be artificial are still 50% / 50% until proven otherwise ....
