NASA may have ruled that Oumuamua, the first interstellar object ever spotted in our system is a "metallic or rocky object" approximately 400 meters (1,312 feet) in length and 40 meters (131 feet) wide, but a new study from the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics says it could be something much more exciting – it could be "a lightsail of artificial origin" sent from another civilization.
The study, which was posted online earlier this month, suggests that Oumuamua's strange "excess acceleration" could be artificial in nature, as it has been implied that it is not an active comet.

Could be that earthlings sent it back from our outpost. We were supposed to retrieve that cargo, but we lost that tech many moons ago.

My favorite part of Ilia in that movie was she showed up nude on the bridge and they thought that was distracting so these are the clothes they gave her to cover up with. Because that's how Capt Kirk rolls!
