Space Wire Found

The forlorn hunt for "IM1" might not be so forlorn after all. It has delivered a result... possibly. The magnetic probe that has been running along the seabed in the area where the object crashed has picked up a tiny metallic specimen. It is itself not magnetic, but it was attached to the probe by other magnetic pieces that were holding it in place. The specimen is long and thin, like a tiny wire. I say long, but it is only eight millimetres and therefore very thin. It is curled twice. The team thought it might be contamination from the ship itself and so swept the decks to see if there were any more similar items; they could find none. Analysis showed that the wire is an alloy consisting mostly of platinum and manganese. This alloy is manufactured by humans for use in some laboratory equipment, however not in the relative composition found in the specimen.

No doubt further tests will have to be done to see if the wire really does have an extraterrestrial origin. Wires are not formed by natural processes, so it will have to be artificial. If it is then Prof Loeb might have the smoking gun he is looking for. It seems I was wrong about the futile nature of Loeb's expedition. I'll watch it with more interest from now on.
