Astrophysicist Avi Loeb: ‘UFOs should be the subject of mainstream inquiry'

I think Avi Loeb is an optimist on aliens, and his paper is not a traditional one, but is throwing some possible explanations out there for something that was very odd, oumuamua. To call him a crackpot, or (that guy) is a bit disingenuous imo.
Nobody would call Drake a crackpot, but his drake equation was an interesting philosophical idea none the less, I personally think we need both, and the physicists getting upset by this seem more insecure to me about someone else getting academic prestige in an unexpected way.

I mean, yeah, like... really? What kind of jumping to conclusions is this? Comments an astronomer how questionable it is the material is from that specific asteroid in the first place. Space stuff has been raining down into the atmosphere and the seven seas continuously for billions of years, right. Also, how exact can an estimate of the point of entry into ocean be given it happened in the middle of nowhere? There also currents and so on. But of course because it was Mr Loeb who had the idea of course he will find, well, something and of course it's ALIENS.
