Extraterrestrial
The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth
Book • 2021
In 'Extraterrestrial,' Avi Loeb delves into the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system.
In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory observed an object moving too quickly to be from our solar system, with characteristics that did not match those of an asteroid or comet.
Loeb argues that the simplest explanation for these peculiarities is that the object was created by an intelligent civilization from a distant star.
The book outlines his controversial theory and its profound implications for science, religion, and the future of humanity, encouraging readers to think critically about the possibilities of extraterrestrial life.
