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

Maybe it is a fragment of a larger thing that was formed by accretion.
If it is really just a rock, my guess for the method of its formation is as a jet of molten inner core that solidified on ejection from a planet that collided with another planet (perhaps it passed through a cloud of ejected planetary atmosphere?). That would explain not only the shape, but the high velocity.
The notion that advanced civilizations would be friendly is very strange, that is for sure.
Ask any ant—or cow for that matter.
Looks like that’s where it came from...
Our primitive Radio contact will awaken them from the long sleep they have been in since the devastating explosion in the Jeffrey’s tube.
Their Interrositer device will still work if they can just find an Earth scientist who can help complete a rebuild.
Looks like it came from Uranus.
LOL, so damn predictable, we are.
Yoda says.
What is it with Penn State and all their cuckoo left wing professors? First you got the fraud Michael Mann deliberately pushing man-made global warming, now you got another insane fool who can’t tell the difference between a rock and a space ship.
These ‘professors’ in Pennsylvania are the same types that shoot at cars when deer hunting.
And provide it’s fuel in the form of soyl.......
That's no asteroid - rather, it bears a striking resemblance to "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo."
The existence of this larger object, known as "Papa-Oumuamau" has been suppressed for decades, only rarely hinted at by surfer bands of the sixties.
Heading straight for Urectum.
STILL THINK SETI is a good idea??

All resources are finite. Survival oriented species take them for themselves.
Is it still under the 100 light year warranty?
Yo mama is so fat her ass has time zones
