Leading Astronomers: Oumuamua Is ‘Alien Probe With Broken Engines,’ Could Have Hostile Intentions
SHTF Plan ^ | 12-14-2017 | Mac Slavo

A leading astronomer studying the origins of the space object known as Oumuamua has come out declaring it’s an alien probe with broken engines. Dr. Jason Wright claims that Oumuamua’s movement is that of a craft that has lost power to its engines.

Right now, leading scientists are studying the odd “cigar-shaped” object which originated outside of our solar system. Teams lead by renowned physicist, Stephen Hawking, are attempting to discover whether or not Oumuamua is alien or natural. If a radio signal is detected later today, scientists will “proceed with caution.”

Professor Avi Loeb, Professor of Astronomy at Harvard University, sais: “My recommendation, as in any dialogue, is that we first listen and do our best to understand what we are hearing. Once we figure this out, we can decide how to respond,” he said. “Overall, I am an optimist. I believe that a very intelligent civilization will be peaceful, and we could save ourselves millions or billions of years by learning from it. But there is also the possibility that such a civilization will have hostile intentions and risk our existence, so we should deliberate carefully in any future contact with them.”

According to the Daily Mail, Dr. Wright from Penn State University is already declaring it a spacecraft. Oumuamua is about a quarter of a mile long, 260 feet wide, and currently traveling at 196,000 mph. Rather than moving through space like other natural space rocks, astronomers believe that it is “tumbling” through our solar system.

‘”Such derelict craft would, if they are not traveling so fast that they escape the Galaxy, eventually ‘thermalize’ with the stars and end up drifting around like any other interstellar comet or asteroid,” Dr. Wright wrote in his blog. “In fact, since they (presumably) no longer have altitude

The object in question is long and slender. The question rises is how it was formed by accretionary processes.

It was formed by a 10-mile long creature with a high-fiber diet.

It’s just an expensive publicity stunt to gin up some interplanetary interest.

I’m just glad the object didn’t clog up the black hole that the 10-mile long creature used as a toilet!

You might want to check out the header on the home page of the site you are posting on:

You need to take your mockery of God elsewhere.

Read one article on the internet that the object’s name is pronounced Yo Mamma.

If scans proved this actually was an alien craft does anyone think the US or any govt would allow that info to go public?

Yes, but aren’t they involved with sending space probes with messages attached to them into space or is that purely NASA?

SETI does not build or launch anything that goes into space. Their considerable budget is expended entirely upon monster antennas and associated electronics.

Yep, NASA sends out probes with directions back to Earth.

I thought it was great, I imagined rocks the size of school buses falling off the tower and saw where they landed and found it very interesting how it formed.

“Looking at the object it’s obviously a piece broken off a larger body.”

Yes, the larger body is now known as “Caitlyn Oumuamua.”
