The “article” is a transcript of sections of the video. Removing the culture war bit about Galileo being cancelled, we have:
“It’s not a philosophical question whether we live in an environment where objects are floating around that are representing extraterrestrial technologies. We just need to use our telescopes and find out. […] Once I realized that we found an object from a technological origin that was produced elsewhere, I would not seek approval from anyone else. I don’t need likes on twitter. I just want to know what it is.”
He doesn’t seem to be saying “it’s aliens”, but rather “If it’s aliens, I want to know — it’s not a matter of faith, if we find evidence of it, it’ll be true”. His use of “Once I realized” is confusing, but I believe he’s speaking in the hypothetical that aliens are confirmed.
There is, of course, a massive leap from “an object from outside the solar system hit Earth and was very strong” to “because this object was very strong it might have been made by aliens”. I also don’t see any reason why the fragments they’re looking for should be magnetic.
