in the 80s, two Soviet space probes were sent to Mars to study its moons Phobos and Deimos. The first probe failed after the Ruskis sent a faulty command sequence and it shut down. The second probe was mysteriously destroyed on approach to Deimos. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the last pictures sent by this probe were declassified - it showed it encountered a cigar shaped object in its last moments. At the time of the release of these pictures, it didn't mean much as it randomly encountering a cigar shaped object could be considered an irrelevant anomaly. Given what we've encountered since then, maybe not so much irrelevant. I wonder what Prof. Loeb thinks of this. We may have a problem here, as knocking out harmless exploratory probes does not quite seem the actions of a benevolent visitor. I hope I am wrong.

Abi Loeb is a very serious Scientist. And very Senior and experienced. The fact that he is under attack should rise the eyebrows of any thoughtful person. Why? Why attack anybody and everybody who talks about an interstellar object? If they don’t exist, why so much energy is being applied in suppressing the topic?

[@TheNeonParadox]

He's not being suppressed. His work was published many times over. He's also not being attacked. His work is being criticized because that's what scientists are supposed to do. He, on the other hand, has spent the last eight years attacking other scientists because they won't just sit back and agree with his work, despite how immensely flawed it is. This is because the man cannot take even the most mild and constructive criticism. Look up his conversation with Dr. Jill Tarter (The scientist who was the inspiration for the female lead in the movie Contact) Avi is a classic case of Nobelitis. He is someone who left his field of expertise, and barged head first into a different field where he has very little knowledge beyond a general understanding. And in doing so, his frantic lunacy in the media has managed to make a laughing stock of actual scientists who are working in the fields of extraterrestrial science, and has set the field back decades. He's given congress all the motivation they need never to fund programs like SETI again, because now they can point to him and say, "We're not going to fund crackpots this him."

[@lminor7]

This is virtually the same comment I posted yesterday under Avi's interview with Dr. Brian Keating: I suddenly realized during this interview why I like and respect Avi Loeb as much as I do. Listening to him reminds me of how I felt listening to Richard Feynman. I see his absolute brilliance balanced by his down-to-Earth demeanor. Relying squarely on data driven evidence, he emanates the same why-should-I-care-what-other-people-think attitude as Feynman. He has an endearing sense of humor and, of, course, he retains the accent of the neighborhood he grew up in :-) His science, even his speculations, are so completely logical as to belie any notion of an agenda. He is centered, courageous and original. Viva Avi !

[@StaleyTraining]

At the risk of sounding overly simplistic, the best way to determine whether or not something is real is when normal people (baseline levels of intelligence, education, and mental health)) don’t use the word “believe” when talking about it. For example, no one says that they “believe“ in dinosaurs, even though the idea that such creatures once roamed the Earth seems impossible to most of us. On the other hand, when speaking about whether or not extraterrestrials have ever visited us it’s always framed along the lines of “so, do you believe that aliens have ever visited us? If you ever hear someone say “are you worried about all the aliens who are visiting us? “It’s a sure sign of very low IQ, scant educational background, and/or mental illness.

[@ibbajibbaduay]

Very well, but whose idea was it to both include 'aliens' in the title of this episode, and then lament that 'the media' always does that? I would love to hear an account of Avi's rise to public prominence that does not refer to his/the public's interest in 'aliens'. It's not necessarily his fault that the nuance of his views might not always be captured, but inescapably, trying to be an ambassador for science presents one with the same set of incentives as anyone else who likes popularity and money. There's a fine line between admirably nurturing child-like wonder and cynically playing into people's fantasies, and it's hard to completely rule out the latter.

I'd like to know what the chances are, of Galileo hitting a planet when it encounters its first solar system. Now, I can't be bothered to do the maths, but I have a feeling that winning LOTTO 10 times in a row is more likely. This eliminates the possibility that what hit Earth was artificial. And are we to assume that "space aliens" are sophisticated enough to create a probe which can cross light years, but can't avoid colliding with its target planet? Even though the sun moves through the interstellar aether, and the Earth moves around the Sun, like a corkscrew through its galactic orbit. I am terribly sorry Avi, but that is a step far too far. It's not evidence, so much as "clutching at straws", I think. If it has propulsion, then it shouldn't hit our atmosphere and burn up, yeah? And its speed is to be expected: interstellar objects DO actually accelerate as they are pulled sunwards - yeah? The Sun's gravity is large indeed.

I would have asked him what percentage of our spacecraft, Voyager etc would be iron? I suspect very little, i really can't imagine advanced aliens building interstellar probes with a high iron content. I don't doubt it's an interstellar object, but I really don't think it's an engineered object, it's not going to be a spacecraft with an iron content of 84%. I would expect an alien spacecraft to be made of all sorts of seriously exotic low-mass synthetic materials we can't even imagine. Our new material Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel, super light and conducts electricity like copper. It's an excellent aerospace material, but it's not metal, there's no iron in it.

[@aaronsmith4940]

Once they burned up they were iron, it could have been composed differently but then reduced to primarily iron upon entry, also if you can travel through space that far I doubt weight is a factor so maybe irons good because it's common.

will I trust a journalist for his criticism about scientific reports ? Hardly. But his criticisms on theoretical physicists are not warranted.

[@josephrapp]

Avi talks over others so much to not allow solid interrogation of his ideas. He also says,"Yes...all their ideas are great" when addressing other scientists ideas about his work,in order to sound like he and they have no disagreements. I do not think he is as smart as he claims.

Aren't skeptics just enforcers of the perceived elitist status quo. To me, skeptics are not much different than politicians, or lawyers, their relationship with the scientific method is about the same, tentative at best.
