Study Proposes Searching Moon Dust for Fragments of 'Ancient Alien Tech'
A new theoretical study proposes that tiny fragments of long-extinct alien technology could be hiding in lunar dust, and suggests a way to search for them — while stressing no such evidence has been found.
A new theoretical study proposes that microscopic fragments of "ancient alien tech" could be scattered across the surface of the Moon, and that they may be relatively easy to find. The study does not claim to have found any evidence of advanced alien civilizations; instead, it offers a new way to search for clues of their existence.
According to the researchers, such fragments would be tiny technological remnants left behind by long-extinct alien civilizations, which could have reached the Moon after travelling through , the space between star systems.
The researchers propose analyzing , the loose layer of dust and broken rock that covers the Moon's surface, to hunt for these extraterrestrial relics. The team says it may not take long to find such fragments, if they exist, once regolith is examined for signs of them.
