A) I do not trust Wiki for much of anything - certainly not history or any controversial subjects.
B) At the time there were 2 raw images released - one of which was labeled Oumuamua, the other is the one on Wiki mislabeled as Oumuamua.
3) They were both imaged with different star backgrounds and different courses. So different ‘objects’.
Different objects, or same object imaged at different times? As the thing moved through the solar system, it would necessarily have different starfields behind it.
A couple of thoughts ...
Oumuamua was imaged at different times by different telescopes. Those will all have different backgrounds. I don’t personally recall talk of a second object about that time, but I’m not saying there wasn’t one. I just don’t remember it.
That blasted CGI space-turd annoys me a whole lot more. It adds absolutely NOTHING to the discussion, reduces the credibility of the Astronomy community, and distracts from real imagery. And the internet is absolutely flooded with it.
