This is an article across multiple picture slides that don't add anything to the story. I wasn't able to get the bold out of the quote.

The article stands out to me because it's on a mainstream news site and talks about two minerals that apparently don't exist in nature but were created here on Earth, and now they've been found in a meteorite. So the implication is extra-terrestrial technology.


Scientists have synthesised two minerals that do not exist in nature: eidite and bresinaite, which can only be created in the laboratory

This statement comes from a team of Venezuelan researchers and scientists who were trying to discover the two minerals in 1975. According to a new study, these materials arrived on Earth

Heidite and Brezianite were created in a US laboratory, but a few years later were found on Earth among meteorite fragments

Now the theory is being put forward that this debris was actually the debris of an alien spaceship left by someone in space

The words of Central University of Venezuela physicist B.P. Embidom

"It is important to be open-minded and even provocative to consider the following question: are these meteorite minerals examples of extraterrestrial technology?"

"The origin of these meteorite minerals may require a controlled and complex process that is not easily found in nature. If after many attempts this hypothesis is not confirmed, then we can begin to question the possibility that these minerals were obtained by industrial processes. In other words, that they are technological signals"


The claim of UFO author Anna Whitty, who told the Daily Star that aliens actually already live on our planet, excluding the underwater world, is different

"I really think they have always been here. If the aliens came from somewhere in the depths of the sea or caves, and not from another planet, it is because there is a lot of evidence on the planet that huge cataclysms occur every few thousand years."




 
It’s a bit of a stretch without the additional information of the lab conditions that produced the minerals. I searched and there’s no information I could find about how they were synthetically produced, but if we know the conditions then it makes more sense to see if those types of conditions exist on other planets. Or perhaps they exist on our planet deep inside the mantle and never hit the surface.

In any case, understanding the technical conditions that allowed them to artificially produce those two minerals could yield some insight, and that information isn’t in the article.

I would agree with this in principle, without knowing the laboratory conditions, it would be difficult to determine whether a lab is the only place where these elements could be produced, as I imagine that there exist conditions out there in space, specially for rocks traveling across the cosmos, that we're not yet aware of.

But, things falling from a UFO isn't really that implausible a theory either, so it could fall somewhere in the middle I suppose.

An abstract from here for our fellow chimists :-) :

Intercalation compounds based on layered TiS2 sulfide are gaining much attention since the incorporation of transition metals often dramatically change the physical properties and unlocks new intriguing phenomena. Here, we report a rapid high-pressure preparation method at 3.5 GPa for the synthesis of FexTi2S4 polycrystalline materials, starting from TiS2 and Fe metal. Three different compositions with x = 0.24, 0.32, and 0.42 have been stabilized at decreasing temperatures in the range 800‒900 ºC; the crystallographic features have been proved by a neutron powder diffraction (NPD) experiment for the x = 0.42 sample. All the compounds crystallize in a Heideite-type phase with space group C2/m; the structure consists of layers of [TiS6] octahedra sharing edges with Fe atoms located in between the layers, also in octahedral coordination. The NPD study unveils a discrete Fe/Ti inversion (<6%) at the TiS2 layers. The magnetic properties stemming from Fe2+ and Ti3+ spins offer a complex scenario with antiferromagnetic interactions, characterized by a strongly negative Weiss constant (e.g. θW = -398 K for x= 0.42), predominant for the Fe-rich phase Fe0.42Ti2S4, combined with ferromagnetic-like interactions as x decreases (e.g. θW = 204 K for x= 0.24), leading to spin-glass or cluster-glass behaviours. The study of the magnetocaloric effect yields relative cooling power (RCP) values at 7 T of 135.3, 124.5, and 96.0 J.kg-1 for the x = 0.24, 0.32 and 0.42 samples, respectively, better than other transition-metal sulfides reported in literature, with a temperature stability that is desirable for an ideal Ericson refrigeration cycle.
 
In this technical article, they describe a newly man crafted material , in the middle of it one can find a video on "ufo's materials"

The toughest material on Earth has just been found and the structure is just grains​

The metallic alloy, made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel, is called CrCoNi.


Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory just measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel, called CrCoNi. The material was found to be highly malleable with impressive resistance to permanent deformation.

"When you design structural materials, you want them to be strong but also ductile and resistant to fracture," project co-lead Easo George, the Governor’s Chair for Advanced Alloy Theory and Development at ORNL and the University of Tennessee, said in a statement. "Typically, it’s a compromise between these properties. But this material is both, and instead of becoming brittle at low temperatures, it gets tougher."
The record-breaking findings were published in Science on December 2.

What is CrCoNi?​

The alloy is a subset of a class of metals called high entropy alloys (HEAs). While alloys today contain a high proportion of one element with lower amounts of additional elements added, HEAs are made of an equal mix of each constituent element.
This recipe gives the material a high combination of strength and ductility when stressed.
"The toughness of this material near liquid helium temperatures (20 kelvin, -424 Fahrenheit) is as high as 500 megapascals square root meters. In the same units, the toughness of a piece of silicon is one, the aluminum airframe in passenger airplanes is about 35, and the toughness of some of the best steels is around 100. So, 500, it’s a staggering number," said research co-leader Robert Ritchie, a senior faculty scientist in Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences Division and the Chua Professor of Engineering at UC Berkeley.

Multiple techniques were required to define 'toughness'​

The scientists used neutron diffraction, electron backscatter diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy to examine the lattice structures of CrCoNi samples that had been fractured at room temperature and 20 K.
As per the release, "the images and atomic maps generated from these techniques revealed that the alloy’s toughness is due to a trio of dislocation obstacles that come into effect in a particular order when force is applied to the material".
"It’s amusing because metallurgists say that the structure of a material defines its properties, but the structure of the NiCoCr is the simplest you can imagine – it’s just grains," said Ritchie.
"However, when you deform it, the structure becomes very complicated, and this shift helps explain its exceptional resistance to fracture," added co-author Andrew Minor, director of the National Center of Electron Microscopy facility of the Molecular Foundry at Berkeley Lab and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at UC Berkeley.


Real-life applications are further away​

CrCoNi and other HEAs are closer to being implemented for special applications. However, as these materials are not the easiest to create, George states that they could someday be used in environmental extremes that could destroy standard metallic alloys, such as in the frigid temperatures of deep space.

However, real-world applications need time.
"When you are flying on an airplane, would you like to know that what saves you from falling 40,000 feet is an airframe alloy that was only developed a few months ago? Or would you want the materials to be mature and well-understood? That’s why structural materials can take many years, even decades, to get into real use," said Ritchie.
Study Abstract:
Finding structural materials that have good fracture properties at very low temperatures is challenging but is important for fields such as space exploration. Liu et al. discovered a high-entropy chromium-cobalt-nickel alloy that has an incredibly high fracture toughness at 20 kelvin (see the Perspective by Zhang and Zhang). This behavior is caused by an unexpected phase transformation that, when combined with other microstructures, prevents crack formation and propagation. The fracture toughness of this alloy makes it potentially useful for a range of cryogenic applications.

From the study:

High-entropy alloys are an intriguing new class of metallic materials that derive their properties from being multi-element systems that can crystallize as a single phase, despite containing high concentrations of five or more elements with different crystal structures. Here we examine an equiatomic medium-entropy alloy containing only three elements..

Mechanical properties and failure characteristics of the CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy. (a) Tensile tests show a significant increase in yield strength, σy, ultimate tensile strength, σUTS and strain to failure, εf, with decreasing temperature from room temperature, 293 K, to cryogenic temperatures, 198 and 77 K. In the same temperature range, the work of fracture increases from 3.5 MJ m−2 to 6.4 MJ m−2. (b) Fracture toughness tests on compact-tension, C(T), specimens show an increasing fracture resistance with crack extension and crack initiation, KJIc, values of 208, 265 and 273 MPa m1/2 at 293, 198 and 77 K, respectively. (c) Stereo microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images show a clear transition from the notch to the pre-crack and a pronounced stretch-zone between the pre-crack and the fully ductile fracture region of a sample that was tested at 198 K. (d) The fracture surface shows ductile dimpled fracture and Cr-rich particles that act as void initiation sides. (Data points shown are mean±s.d.; see Supplementary Table 1 for exact values.) The scale bars in c and d, and the insets of d are 75, 5 and 2 μm, respectively.

 
i have read that on tv sf movies there is mentioned transparent aluminium and that it was reverse enginered on earth. never suspected this before. so i made a search, result below:
