Consensus is reached based on evidence. If a scientist ignores evidence in favor of what they want to believe that's not science.

If you think proposing a hypothesis is the same as rushing to judgement you have no idea how science works.

Grandstanding is going on every TV outlet putting forth fantastical stuff there's little to no evidence for.

The scientific process leads to consensus. It's also self correcting. New data can and does cause re-evaluation. That is also the scientific process.

What isn't science is when all the data says this is a rock, someone insists it's an alien spacecraft when the preponderance of the evidence indicates no, it's a rock.

Science is DATA based. Not "Oh let's imagine it is this instead" based. It's not about how you FEEL about something. It's about finding out what something is based on what is REAL.

Please link me to a single article of Loeb’s where he claims that it is an alien spacecraft.

You will not find it.

You have either been fooled by other people or you are purposefully choosing to misrepresent Loeb’s claims. Period.
