Professor Abraham Loeb and a rendering of ‘Oumuamua.
When the first sign of intelligent life first visits us from space, it won’t be a giant saucer hovering over New York. More likely, it will be an alien civilization’s trash.
Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy, believes he’s already found some of that garbage.
In his upcoming book, “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth†(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), out Jan. 26, the professor lays out a compelling case for why an object that recently wandered into our solar system was not just another rock but actually a piece of alien technology.
The object in question traveled toward our solar system from the direction of Vega, a nearby star 25 light-years away, and intercepted our solar system’s orbital plane on Sept. 6, 2017.
On Sept. 9, its trajectory brought it closest to the sun. At the end of September, it blasted at about 58,900 miles per hour past Venus’ orbital distance, and then, on Oct. 7, it shot past Earth’s before “moving swiftly toward the constellation Pegasus and the blackness beyond,†Loeb writes in the book.
The object was first spotted by an observatory in Hawaii containing the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) — the highest definition telescope on earth.
The space object was dubbed ‘Oumuamua (pronounced “oh moo ah moo ahâ€), which is Hawaiian for — roughly — “scout.â€

If this guy's theory is wrong it proves further that the SMOD arrived a year late and a dollar short and took one look and got the h3ll out of here as fast as it could.

I must say.... that I am highly offended if these aliens think (apparently) that Earth is trash ...worthy of their trash. May their wormhole collapse, unexpectedly, but slowly enough for the aliens to realize that they are screwed. :smokin:

Wait....
Just because a space rock (asteroid) briefly wandered into our sun's gravitational field is evidence of extraterrestrials?

For an advanced technological species, you'd think they would build something that doesn't look like a big space turd.

I believe that there has to be some other life form other than humans. Perhaps they are observing and are seeing how critical things are and have the ability to eradicate the Chinese virus, cancer and rare diseases. Also, maybe to save mankind they can swoop in and extract the bat crap crazy liberals and put them on a galaxy...far...far away.

Who are you trying to kid @libertybele They lock their doors when they get close, just like our parents did back before it was called MLK Blvd.
