Professor Loeb claims that he has found evidence of their existence at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Speaking to news agency The Independent, Loeb said the team of deep-sea explorers discovered 50 tiny globules or molten droplets. "I monitored using a magnetic sled to detect small spheres. The sled was dropped from the expedition vessel".
He said that some of the smaller objects are about half a millimeter in size. "These objects may be made from a steel and titanium alloy that is much stronger than the iron found in regular meteorites.

The smaller objects require further testing, however, Professor Loeb believes that they either have an interstellar origin or are made by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization, The Independent reports.
Previously, Professor Loeb chaired Harvard's astronomy department from 2011 to 2020, but now he leads the university's Galileo Project.
The project is working on setting up open-source observatories to search for signs of UFOs and interstellar objects.
In 2019, Professor Leob's quest to search for signals from meteors began when IM1 caught the attention of his research team.
At that point, the team checked NASA's open-source catalog of meteors for irregular space rock found around Earth.
He said IM1 is known for its high velocity as it travels 95% faster than nearby stars. Furthermore, as The Independent reports, IM1 also exploded much lower in Earth's atmosphere than regular meteorites.
Professor Leob said the object was harder than all the other space rocks in the NASA catalogue. He said, in short, it was a great deal of physical strength.
He and his colleague Amir Siraj are more than 99% sure that IM1 traveled to Earth from another star system.
