Terrestrial, Post‑WWII Magnesium Alloy Likely Origin for “UFO Metal” Shard, ORNL Analysis Finds

To the point

A mysterious UFO metal shard was studied by ORNL after passing through To the Stars Academy and shows a Earth-made magnesium alloy with zinc, bismuth, lead and trace elements, mostly Earth-like isotopes with a small solar-system signal, making non-terrestrial sourcing unlikely; the supposed levitation mechanism and terahertz waveguide idea are undermined by the material’s multiple bismuth layers and lead impurities, scanning transmission electron microscopy shows a conventional Earth-made crystalline structure, and the joint findings point to a post-World War II terrestrial origin, though Avi Loeb says even terahertz channels wouldn’t easily produce levitation without an improbable pure layer; the discussion nods to Roswell-style fringe claims but ends with a grounded scientific explanation.
