Harvard astronomer's "alien spherules" are industrial pollutants (bigthink.com)

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

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."

Oh, a Harvard astronomer?

Let me guess, it's Avi Loeb. Man can find aliens in his own anus.

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.
