If there was any truth in the initial claims of George Adamski, it is a real shame that what appears to be obvious fabrication and outright manufacturing of events will overshadow it.ĩ Elizabeth Klarer Conceives An Alien Child On Another PlanetĪt around the same time that Adamski was making his claims in the late 1950s, in South Africa, Elizabeth Klarer would state not only that she made contact with an alien life-form but that she had gone to his home world and conceived a child with him. By the time Adamski was making claims of trips to the Moon, Venus, and various other locations in outer space, even his most ardent supporters were beginning to distance themselves. True or not, beginning in November 1952, after several months of “channeled directions,” he would reportedly witness and capture a picture of a “flying saucer” (shown above) from his California home.

Even today, there is disagreement among UFO circles as to whether his initial purported encounters were actually genuine, though plenty of believers in those are still sure that Adamski went on to fabricate and outright manufacture more stories, whether for money, attention, or both. And at one point, George Adamski was very much considered the “real deal” in terms of contact with an extraterrestrial race.

Loeb heads up the Galileo Project, which aims to establish a network of advanced telescopes that will scan the skies for signs of alien life. Many scientists have rubbished his outlandish claims, branding them cavalier and irresponsible. He took fault with astronomers who argued that the object was a comet, saying it was akin to letting “the familiar to define what we might discover.” “He’s seen rocks all his life, and he would have thought it was just a shiny rock.” “What would happen if a caveman saw a cellphone?” Loeb wrote. He doubled down on the heavily contested comments – which earned him headlines across the globe – in a book published last year. Loeb has repeatedly claimed that Oumuamua – an interstellar object that zipped through the Solar System in 2017 was technology sent by aliens. Over the past decade, his focus has been trained on a more contentious topic: The possibility that Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials. He has produced provocative research on black holes, space radiation, the early universe and other topics of his field. The prolific astrophysicist is no stranger to controversy. “My dream is to press some buttons on a functional piece of equipment that was manufactured outside of Earth,” he added. In his essay, he noted that a retrieval expedition could be achieved using “scooping” magnets to explore the 10 square kilometer region of the Pacific Ocean where the object is thought to have landed. Boston Globe via Getty ImagesĪfter the USSC confirmed their hunch on April 7, Loeb is calling for an expedition to find whatever’s left of the object. Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard University’s Astronomy Department, poses for a portrait with the 15-inch telescope known as “The Great Refractor,” which was installed in 1847, in Cambridge, MA on March 27, 2019. The pair wrote a paper about it but were instructed not to publish it because they used classified government data for their research. Loeb was actually the astronomer who identified the object as interstellar a few years ago. His bold claims frequently make headlines and he has faced criticism from others in his field over his outlandish extraterrestrial theories. Loeb has spent decades studying astronomy and more recently has trained his sights on the possibility that life exists beyond Earth.

“Better still, perhaps some technological components would survive the impact.” A US Space Command memo released last week confirmed that the object was an interstellar meteor, but Professor Loeb disagrees. “The fundamental question is whether any interstellar meteor might indicate a composition that is unambiguously artificial in origin. “Our discovery of an interstellar meteor heralds a new research frontier,” the Harvard astronomer wrote in an essay for The Debrief. He claimed on Wednesday that the object could have been built by extraterrestrials. The agency concluded that the projectile – which streaked across the sky off the coast of Manus Island, Papua New Guinea – was a meteor.
