Loeb's upcoming book, "Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth," lays out a case for why a recent object that flew into our solar system might be proof that life outside exists.
On September 6, 2017, an object from the star Vega - a close star about 25 light-years away - entered our atmosphere only to move closer to the sun on September 9. By the end of the month, it flew by Venus at a rate of 58,900 miles per hour.
It then came close to earth on October 7 before it began "moving swiftly toward the constellation Pegasus and the blackness beyond," Loeb wrote in his book.
The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) in a Hawaiian observatory first spotted the object using the Pan-STARRS most well-defined telescope on earth.

There, the object was monikered "Oumuamua," which is Hawaiian for "scout." The pronunciation is "oh-moo-ah-moo-ah."
Although the object was just a small 100-yard-long object, those in the scientific community looked to it as a learning point.
It was the the first interstellar object ever detected inside our solar system, and given its trajectory, some astronomers have declared it was not bound by the sun's gravitational pull.
Although no clear photos of the object were taken, observatories trained their telescopes on the object for almost two weeks, allowing data to be collected that denied a simple explanation of just another comet.
"What would happen if a caveman saw a cellphone?" Loeb asked. "He’s seen rocks all his life, and he would have thought it was just a shiny rock."
Loeb took fault with some astronomers claiming the object was a comet, saying it was akin to letting "the familiar to define what we might discover."
Loeb said astronomers began looking at the object's dimensions, and the fact that it reflected sunlight at a similar brightness every eight hours, suggesting that was how long it needed to complete a full rotation.
Astronomers said the object was about five to ten times longer than it was wide, relating it to a sort of cigar shape.
Loeb says no natural space object looks like that.
