Finding alien technology on the seafloor would be truly incredible. This extraordinary claim, however, is debunked by the actual evidence.

“Just because you don’t have a good explanation yet doesn’t mean you are reasonable to suggest the explanation is Aliens/Gods/Magic/Ghosts/Psychics.”
Sagan’s Demon haunted world is great in showing that for many people, as science has advanced, Aliens have replaced The Gods as the catch all cause for shit I don’t understand.
Little greys are just modern american faeries.
Actually that brings up an interesting comparison. In Victorian england it was common for gentlemen to have art of naked faeries. Because having naked human women was morally unacceptable. Whereas faeries not so much.
Makes you wonder if rural American men find remembering an alien anal probe. As more morally acceptable to their mindset. Than bob next door getting intimate with them.
In this case, I would rather it have been any of those things instead of industrial waste.
I agree industrial waste is not an elegant refutation of Aliens did it but it does fit nicely with Occam’s razor:
The explanation that requires the fewest assumptions is usually correct
Aliens did it: Assumptions
Intelligent alien life exists.
Interstellar Travel exists.
Out of billions of start systems, the aliens visited earth.
Yet they were dumb enough to crash on arrival.
Industrial Waste: Assumptions
Stuff we have been pumping into the atmosphere for centuries has made it to the ocean floor.
I feel it is important to publicise refutations of extraordinary claims widely.
The media generally loves to publish the extraordinary claims. especially ALIENS!! but is silent when the results comeback as “Sorry, they were wrong.”
Bold of you to assume the same person works at the same outlet long enough to run both stories.
No, I just assume that most outlets have a No Retractions policy.
Oh, a Harvard astronomer?
Let me guess, it’s Avi Loeb. Man can find aliens in his own anus.
Avi “fuck you I’ve got tenure and I’m off my meds” Loeb
well rummer has it. That is where aliens tend to congregate.
Seems they must have a very interesting biology. That they developed anal probes as there scientific data gathering device.
Or maybe they evolved on a world with only a liquid diet. So the methods of expelling solid food waste is the most surprising to them.
Or you know maybe lots of red neck folks. Trying to explain to their wives how objects keep getting stuck.
Space duende balls lmao
