Yep. Just watch any Star Trek movie related to time travel. It’s all explained there. :-D

[Olog-hai]

The Mother Cigar?

Too bad it’s going the wrong way, from the NOI perspective.

[VanDeKoik]

Just looking at its trajectory line alone almost disturbs me.

That thing didn’t just come here that way all on its own.

Natural or artificial, it’s an unknown that is eerie.

Mathilda May. ‘Nuf said

[M Kehoe]

Oh, I was thinking Farrakhan.

This object looks like a Baby Ruth in the pool, right?

5.56mm

[bwest]

You beat me to it!

[Mr. K]

Gravity slingshot around the sun?

[philetus]

One of the other astronomy experts is a woman so, we must believe her.

[Salgak]

Outgassing as ice melted. If it did so at closest approach, that’s a de-facto Gravity Well maneuver, aka a “slingshot”. . .

[Tallguy]

Ablation? The heating effect on the object caused it to lose mass. Comets do this when they form ‘tails’. Somebody would have to run the numbers though.

in 60 some years of ‘aliens’, not a single one has landed on the WH lawn and asked to see our leader. If I was a friendly alien, I might want somebody to know that I put a lot of effort into getting to Earth to say hello. And if I was an enemy alien, I wouldn’t care who saw me.

“Like most scientists, I would love there to be convincing evidence of alien life, but this isn’t it,” said Alan Fitzsimmons, an astrophysicist at Queens University, Belfast.

Send this guy over to Dulce, just for grins...

[Beowulf9]

Took a look down here?

That’s because they met with Truman at Murock AFB (aka Edwards) not the Whitehouse.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Olog-hai. Just adding, not pinging... hmm... aah, pinging it as well.
