The US Space Force confirms that an interstellar object crashed in the Pacific

A recently released secret government document claims that an interstellar object not only entered the Solar System in 2014, but crashed into Earth and its remains fell into the Pacific.

Why did the government take responsibility for keeping it hidden that an interstellar object crashed to Earth? No official media has given an answer to this question.

The event was revealed by the Vice portal to astrophysics student and director of interstellar object studies at the Harvard Galileo Project, Amir Siraj.

The Interstellar Object Incident

Siraj, along with Avi Loeb, wrote an article explaining that an interstellar object crashed in the Pacific. But this news was kept secret.

The team apparently took a long look at NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, or CNEOS, database of space rocks and meteorite impacts.

While looking for anomalies, they found a massive fireball that exploded near Manus Island in northern Papua New Guinea on January 8, 2014.

The speed was over 200,000 kilometers per hour and the duo identified it as a “small space rock” 0.45 meters in diameter. Its origin could be the deep interior of the Solar System or a star in the thick disk of the Milky Way.

Siraj believes that some of the sensors used by CNEOS are operated by the US Department of Defense to detect nuclear detonations.

Without important data on the margin of error for the fireball’s velocity, the two scientists failed to pass peer review and publish the paper.

But that changed when his request for data reached Joel Mozer, chief scientist at Space Operations Command in the Space Force service component.

The restart of the investigation
Most surprisingly, Siraj and Loeb found out they had the permission via a Space Force tweet. The message shows a memo dated March 1 and signed by Lieutenant General John E. Shaw, Deputy Commander of Space Force.

Upon hearing about this, Siraj and Loeb resumed their quest to publish the paper so that other expert researchers can look for yet another interstellar object.

Siraj will also urge astronomers to build a public meteor sensor network independent of the Department of Defense. This eliminates delays like your search.

He also plans to organize an expedition to the place where the interstellar object crashed:

“It would be very ambitious, but we will look into it in depth. Because the possibility of getting the first piece of interstellar material is exciting enough to check it out thoroughly. And talk to all the experts in the world on ocean expeditions to recover meteorites.”

Many hope that this time the Space Force will not impede the investigation, as there are still questions about why this information was withheld. Is it possible that there is something else they don’t want us to know or was it simply a “mistake”?
