"Alien probe" according to researchers at HarvardSmithsonian

[_Xenophon]

So, let’s see. We have something that’s the same color as Kuiper belt objects, with no radio signals detected, but has a few deviations from what would be expected from a Comet or Asteroid.

Therefore, it's an alien probe with 300-900 micron solar sail (that hasn’t been observed) that has managed to remain intact through lord knows how many light years, and we know it’s intact because the theory says it is.

We assume solar sail technology because reasons. And therefore aliens.

Meh.

All I know is lets not poke it. I don't want em knowing we are here.

Sagan & Company already took care of that. Hawking thought it was likely a bad idea.

The universe is stranger than we can imagine. There are probably things stranger than life forms out there. We tend to flatter ourselves as being the most complex and interesting.

On the plus side, since their winged hotdog probe is only traveling at 94,800 km/h, if we poke it, we will all be long dead by the time anyone pokes back.

An alien probe is probably not a threat to humanity.

94,800 km/h is much faster than Voyager 1. What makes you think that Oumuamua can't possibly be an alien probe?

Most scientists believe alien civilizations exists. Do you know anything about Voyager 1?

Jesus Christ! There is a good chance that alien probes exists. It's not Roswell's horse ________.

The 2022 the Event Horizon Telescope will help us find life in other planets. Advanced aliens in our Milky Way galaxy already know that Earth has life. Evidence of life on Earth has been visible for millions of years.

With at least 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, how did they find ours?
