Can the title be revised to something like "Harvard Professor on Quest for Possible Alien Tech that Crashed in the Pacific Ocean"? Current phrasing makes it seem like the professor crashed into the ocean.
Although to make it less woo-woo flying saucer-ish, I might have said:
"Harvard Professor Believes Meteor That Crashed Into Ocean Was Alien Metal"
If we're not going to just assume aliens 'non-terrestrial' might be more accurate.
Nothing will convince me this isn't true, and NO, I will not read the article before commenting.
The usage of “that” as opposed to “who” is the key there in English taught before the 2000s. Now of course, the usage of the pronoun who is dead, and that is used everywhere because people are objects in English now.
It sounds more like a coded message for someone then it does a real article, but maybe I have been watching to many science-fiction movies lately..
