My personal belief is that this "mysterious object" is a piece of interstellar waste material, perhaps from a race of alien giants, destined to eventually get flushed down a black hole/space toilet.

I saw that object back in 1986 when it showed up in Earths orbit looking for some humpback whales.

Rendezvous with Rama
Plot
The “Rama” of the title is an alien starship, initially mistaken for an asteroid categorised as “31/439”. It is detected by astronomers in the year 2131 while it is still outside the orbit of Jupiter. Its speed (100,000 km/h) and the angle of its trajectory clearly indicate it is not on a long orbit around the sun, but comes from interstellar space. The astronomers’ interest is further piqued when they realise the asteroid has an extremely rapid rotation period of 4 minutes and is exceptionally large. It is named Rama after the Hindu god,[6] and an unmanned space probe dubbed Sita is launched from the Mars moon Phobos to intercept and photograph it. The resulting images reveal that Rama is a perfect cylinder, 20 kilometres (12 mi) in diameter and 54 kilometres (34 mi) long, and almost completely featureless, making this humankind’s first encounter with an alien spacecraft.

...varying degrees of brightness emanating from Oumuamua's surface...That would suggest the object has a "shiny side". Experienced vehicle operators know this side should be kept UP...

I read the book Rendezvous with Rama and commented here on how I liked it a lot- and a wonderful Freeper sent me the next two books in the series- I wish I had been able to find the messages and thank him/her properly here.
But in case you’re listening - I promise I did ‘pay it forward’ many times over with other books I’ve gifted to people.

All of us who are ‘readers’ understand - and often gift books to others too... I’m sure that freeper knows...
