Earlier this year, U.S. Space Command confirmed the first known interstellar object to hit Earth: it crashed near Manus Island in Papua New Guinea on January 8, 2014. Avi Loeb, a professor of astrophysics at Harvard University, believes that the object may have been made by an alien civilization, but if it can’t be found for inspection, this speculation is impossible to confirm, so the professor plans to launch an expedition to find the interstellar object. The expedition will cost over a million dollars from private donors. Professor Loeb has raised $500,000, and he hopes to raise another million, after all, to find a needle on the seabed in the Pacific Ocean. He believes this will be one of the most important discoveries in human history.
