What exactly is the direct evidence? Does it have post markings?

Nitpick: First known interstellar visitor. I'm confident that there have been plenty of such encounters over the last few billion yeara.

What exactly is the direct evidence? Does it have post markings? Based on it's orbit, it almost certainly came from outside our Solar System.
To: EBH
It's not an asteroid, it's a ship.

This thing is roughly cigar-shaped, and comes from outside our Solar System.
Uh-oh....
To: Simon Green
I agree. You have but to look at the Asteroid Belt (failed planet or destroyed by a strike?), the near-rolling axial tilt of Neptune, and the strange orbit of Pluto and to easily imagine how interstellar bodies visiting our solar system have influenced.

Now, new data reveal the interstellar interloper to be a rocky, cigar-shaped object with a somewhat reddish hue Too bad I didn't discover it. I would have named it Slick Willy

Most convincing! Another hypothesis is that it’s a Zentreadi scout ship.
...My HTML-fu is weak. Otherwise I’d post an image.

They say no dust, no ice, no metallic, varying brightness...
bit wouldn’t one think considering what we know about asteroids and comets?
