TL;DR Summary

Harvard professor Avi Loeb claims that analysis of a meteor retrieved from Papua New Guinea in 2014 shows it originated from outside our solar system. The meteor contains spherules with an unusual composition of heavy elements, labeled as "BeLaU," which is not found on Earth or other natural bodies in the solar system. Researchers theorize that the spherules could come from an exoplanet with an iron core and a magma ocean. Loeb's claims have faced criticism from some scientists who argue that he is polluting good science with sensationalism.
