Initially I did a spit take because it just seems so silly, just preposterous. But on second thought Seth Abramson is not a jokester he's a pretty serious researcher so let's wait and see but could this be the beginning of alien apocalypse dystopia blah blah blah.....??
my thing is if it is real alien tech i feel like the most likely thing is some alien probe ala voyager sent out 10 million years ago or some shit. if its real its very cool but unlikely to be useful scientifically
From a dead civilization to boot.
