Obviously a bit nonsense, but I am curious if anyone can share how they know where the asteroid hit, and how uncommon the steel-titanium alloy is to find.

This is an entertaining video discussing Avi Loeb in the context of physics crackpots and grifters:

harvard & aliens & crackpots: a disambiguation of Avi Loeb

Oh, it's that Avi Loeb guy. Before even opening the article, I figured it would be him. He sees alien materials under ever rock and tree. I'm exagerrating of course but if you search him on Google you'll see his history of colorful claims.

If he's already known as the alien hunter, he didn't find aliens. Let me know when a scientist without any interest in aliens is forced to conclude they found aliens.

Avi Loeb is, much like Bobby Fischer and Linus Pauling, proof that just because you're smart doesn't mean you're not also into nutty ideas.
