Scientists have uncovered the truth about a mysterious space rock called Oumuamua which has been hurtling through Earth’s solar system and was spotted last year.
A group of acclaimed astronomers, including members from NASA, the European Space Agency and the German Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, released a report this week on the origins of the cigar-shaped asteroid which was first observed in October 2017.
The name Oumuamua is Hawaiian for “messenger from afar arriving first” and was named by the site who first spotted it.
According to the report, “a fast moving object on an unbound orbit was discovered close to the Earth” by a high-powered telescope, located in Hawaii.
The report claims Oumuamua is a metallic or rocky object, approximately 400 metres in length and about 40 metres wide.
It has a “comet-like density” and a dark red surface.
“(The red surface suggests) either an organic-rich surface like that of comets and outer solar system asteroids, or a surface containing minerals with nanoscale iron, such as the dark side of Saturn’s moon Iapetus,” the report said.
The report suggested Oumuamua left its home millions of years ago and was likely sent on its lonely journey when it was “ejected during planet formation and migration” and has been linked to four possible star systems.
It was also calculated that Oumuamua moved faster than the existing laws of celestial mechanics.
The report has been accepted into The Astrophysical Journal.
The discovery of Oumuamua sparked international debate when it was first discovered, as scientists struggled to explain what exactly the long, thin asteroid was and why it was flying so close to Earth.
The discovery even prompted suggestions that the rock was actually an alien spaceship or probe, used to explore our solar system.

Yeah, dummies hitched a ride on the wrong comet.

. It's not him though, I'm sure, but who is it?
The lack of substance in this “report”, suggests that NASA is hiding something.
NASA must be in collusion with the aliens in that spaceship disguised as a cigar-shaped rock.
The truth is out there.

You don’t ask when they’re big enough to crush a planet!!
:D
It’s cigar shaped, not doobie shaped.
“It’s cigar shaped, not doobie shaped.”
Well then, does it answer to the name Gomtuu?
It was a weather balloon!Right?
“This is the single least-scientific and most crap-filled report of “Science” I have ever seen.”
Still I think I’ll celebrate this finding by kicking back and firing up one of my UFO-shaped cigars.
It’s his world, and welcome to it!
:)
UFO means unidentified. If you know what it is, it’s not Unidentified.
Speculation does not solve mysteries.

It doesn’t make sense that something of this size (1300 feet in length) made of solid rock or metal could be pre-planetary debris, as NASA theorizes.
It takes a lot of gravity and pressure over a long period to form solid rock with the integrity to hold its form indefinitely. If it’s solid metal, it has to come from the deep interior or core of a rocky planet, assuming it’s not manufactured. Solid rock and metal can’t form from pre-planetary debris coalescing into relatively small lumps. We call those lumps comets, and they are dustballs with some ice mixed in. The force of gravity has to operate at a planetary scale to forge something like this.
Bottom line, it’s either debris from a disintegrated (exploded?) rocky planet, or it’s artificial. IMHO
