The study’s co-author, Dr. Matthew Knight, an associate research scientist in the University of Maryland Department of Astronomy, said: “The alien spacecraft hypothesis is a fun idea, but … our preference is to stick with analogs we know, unless or until we find something unique.”


Thing is about aliens, and presumably anything “they” might come up with, is they are alien.

“If we find 10-20 of these things and Oumuamua still looks unusual, we’ll have to reexamine our explanations.”


There were two such similar objects but after the second on was mentioned - no further mention was made.

I sincerely believe that Giorgio is putting us on.

I watch the show as comedy.

Google translate has clearly made an error.

Oumuamua is a botched transliteration of Papa Oohmaumau. And the craft is a Rivington Class Star Destroyer.

It’s our replacements. Our maker has decided we’re beyond hope. We’re to be replaced by tribbles.

You've never seen him as Leon, on The Andy Griffin Show? Usually dressed as a cowboy, with a peanut butter sammich in his fist.
