Experts conducted a thorough analysis of a metal fragment for potential signs of extraterrestrial origin. According to IFLScience, the fragment was allegedly part of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) that reportedly fell to Earth in the late 1940s. This strange fragment eventually came into the possession of the UFO research group, To The Stars. In 2019, a representative of the organization claimed that the fragment contained “exotic UFO materials.” Some conspiracy theorists even speculated that it originated from the infamous Roswell UFO crash site. Recently, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which investigates various UAPs, requested the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to analyze a sample of the mysterious metal. The results were published, shedding new light on the fragment’s composition. The analysis revealed that the material is primarily an alloy of magnesium (Mg), with zinc, bismuth, lead, and traces of other elements. UFO enthusiasts are convinced of the fragment’s unusual properties, suggesting it could function as a terahertz waveguide—an idea some claim might support “antigravity capabilities” used by aliens. Waveguides are metal objects designed to transmit electromagnetic waves, like the ones used in microwave ovens to direct waves into the heating chamber. Conspiracy theorists believe that if this technology were scaled up, it could potentially act as a terahertz waveguide capable of lifting objects. However, ORNL’s analysis determined the sample was of terrestrial origin and did not meet the theoretical criteria to function as a terahertz (THz) waveguide. This conclusion was based on the elemental and structural composition of the material. For a waveguide to work, it would need to consist of a single layer of pure bismuth sandwiched between layers of magnesium alloy. In this case, the fragment’s configuration was far from ideal—the bismuth wasn’t pure enough, and there were only a few layers between the magnesium, greatly diminishing the fragment’s potential as a waveguide. “The physical properties of the sample are consistent with materials of terrestrial origin,” the experts concluded. Had the material been of extraterrestrial origin, its isotopic composition would differ from Earth-based elements. However, the analysis showed that the isotopic signatures of both magnesium and lead in the fragment were entirely terrestrial.
