Oumuamua was similarly shaped, even a bit skinnier. I wonder what it is about hurtling thru the vacuum of space that causes this shape . . .

Planetary bodies need to reach a certain size for their gravity to force the body into a spherical shape

Smaller than that the bodies can assume any shapes

I think ‘Oumuamua is believed to be interstellar, and not a ‘regular’ asteroid.

It is 5,280 feet long.

Many astronomers and NASA scientists consider it to be a milestone.
