It’s just as likely that Oumuamua neither slowed down nor sped up. It was (like most objects in space) not even traveling a straight line. Most likely is that our measurements were off.

Why couldn’t ‘solar wind’ (which we claim could push a ‘solar sail’) slow Oumuamua down as it was approaching and speed it up as it exited ?
