It's definitely cool. Regardless if this expedition results in any signs of extraterrestrial technologies, it's still a unique research opportunity.

Yes, I agree. I believe they have a good idea of where a larger piece of material is located, and they are planning another expedition to determine whether this object is artificially made or not.

Likely just molten bits of meteor that cooled into spheres when they hit the ocean. Drip some melted solder into a glass of water and you'll see what I mean.

Avi Loeb certainly agrees with you and explained it in the linked Medium post and in earlier posts he made during the expedition. The spherules distributed over a wide area. By observing patterns in where they are most densely distributed, they can infer the likely path of the object.

Let's be real, it's probably a chunk of rock. But even if that's all it is, it's a chunk of rock from outside our solar system. That's wild.

Say it's not just a chunk of rock. Say it has sings of manufacture or symbols of some kind. Now we're getting into the realm of "we're not alone". That's highly unlikely but still a possible outcome.

I reality, this is a massive find and a tremendous accomplishment in the face of endless naysayers who told him the object was mundane and could not be from outside our solar system. Get ready for Loeb going on an epic ego trip victory lap. :)

Probably so. I'm hoping they are able to find a larger piece to confirm. It's an exciting discovery nonetheless that this object originated outside of our solar system.
