An interesting theory.

Despite pushback from some in the scientific community, one researcher at Harvard University is moving forward with the idea that the first interstellar object ever discovered is actually a piece of alien technology.

Only 4 days and we already have the understatement of the year.

‘Oumuamua’s strange trajectory can be explained if the object was a comet fragment with the density of air.

Don't see where this has been mentioned here yet and this story broke about a month ago, anyway...

A signal was detected by SETI researchers and the news
was leaked before they could publish their papers. Commentators
are leaning over backwards to explain that it is almost certainly
a human false positive. However, the research does use filters to eliminate
most false positives and what makes this signal different is that
it has so far, been able to elude being traced to any human activity. So,
although skepticism is in order here, it is an
interesting story nonetheless which is yet to be resolved.
