Last summer, a Harvard professor claimed tiny pellets of iron came from beyond our solar system. But new analyses suggest that they likely originated much closer to home.

    No shit…

    And calling that nutjob “a Harvard professor” is technically accurate, but lots of people don’t understand that some elderly professors have tenure from before age related mental decline, and now they can say any ridiculous thing they want. And since most of the ones in that boat can’t teach. They have nothing to do but sit in the basement yelling crazy shit hoping someone somewhere pays attention to them again.

    I could only read part of that site on my phone because holy shit the ads. So idk the full content of it but my thoughts are it mentioned possibly meteor fragments which sounds very mundane not like ‘aliens’. Also haven’t we known that all kinds of forging can produce little metal spheres? Were these different somehow or was it a known nothing burger right out the gate?
