Interstellar signal linked to aliens was actually just a truck

Sound waves thought to be from a 2014 meteor fireball north of Papua New Guinea were almost certainly vibrations from a truck rumbling along a nearby road, new research shows. The findings raise doubts that materials pulled last year from the ocean are alien materials from that meteor, as was widely reported.

How embarrassing for Avi Loeb who’s been arguing with Astrophysicists, claiming he has the remains of the interstellar meteor and he’s right while they are all wrong. I’m sure he’s hoping it won’t hurt his book sales too much.
