(1) Those “papers” he keeps churning out are nothing but a citation to actual research in astronomy or astrophysics with results that are interesting or maybe even unexpected but still parsimoniously explained by mundane phenomena followed by “aliens did it” with no further evidence or argument. If anyone who isn’t a celebrity (like he is for some reason) submitted such low-effort manuscripts they would get rejected for being trivial and pointless.

I couldn't agree more. We need more fringe ideas.

HARVARD PROFESSOR SAYS GODLIKE ALIENS MAY BE CREATING UNIVERSES IN LABS

Loeb, who first teased the “fishing expedition” to retrieve the object in an essay for The Debrief in April, revealed to host Andrew Bucklow that the mission was on track for March or April 2023.

“I received $1.5 million last month to go ahead with this expedition,” he said...

While Loeb believes aliens exist — or have existed — somewhere in the universe, he doesn’t think actual contact with “biological creatures” will happen.

Instead, he argues UFOs, including objects like Oumuamua, aremost likely alien probes powered by artificial intelligence, potentially even surviving relics of long-dead civilisations.

“It takes 100,000 years to reach the nearest star and many hundreds of millions of years to reach the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, so it makes much more sense to send systems with artificial intelligence that are not so sensitive to the hazardous conditions of space,” he said.
