The unique properties of the material suggest it could have interstellar origins or be of an artificial nature, potentially from an advanced extraterrestrial civilization.

The success of the expedition adds weight to Loeb’s unconventional methods and challenges the dismissive attitudes of his critics.

The significance of the discovery and the ocean’s preserving qualities are underscored by the rarity of finding these objects intact on the ocean floor.
