Found space object proves we are not alone

Humans have been sending out “probes” into our solar system and beyond in efforts to detect far off planets and other objects within our solar system, but it was never contemplated that we would see a “probe” that did not come from our planet; that is, until now.

We are not the only ones looking and listening.

This probe came from an alien planet and it may not be the only probe out there. When a probe is sent into the cosmos the signals sent from the probe back to its own world gets weaker the further away it travels. To maintain the signal, it is reasonable to believe subsequent probes were sent to follow the first one creating a chain of probes transmitting the images back to the probe behind it. The following probe that in turn relays these signals to the following probe. This chain communication guaranties a continual scan of the cosmos in its path.

Interstellar object may have been alien probe, Harvard paper argues , but experts are skeptical

A mysterious cigar-shaped object spotted tumbling through our solar system last year may have been an alien spacecraft sent to investigate Earth, astronomers from Harvard University have suggested.

The object, nicknamed ‘ Oumuamua, meaning “a messenger that reaches out from the distant past” in Hawaiian, was discovered in October 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii.

Since its discovery, scientists have been at odds to explain its unusual features and precise origins, with researchers first calling it a comet and then an asteroid before finally deeming it the first of its kind: a new class of “interstellar objects.”

A new paper by researchers at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics raises the possibility that the elongated dark-red object, which is 10 times as long as it is wide and traveling at speeds of 196,000 mph, might have an “artificial origin.”

NASA SOLOR SYSTEM EXPLORATION

The first known interstellar object to visit our solar system , 1I/2017 U1 ‘ Oumuamua, was discovered Oct. 19, 2017 by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope , funded by NASA’s Near-Earth Object Observations (NEOO) Program, which finds and tracks asteroids and comets in Earth’s neighborhood. While originally classified as a comet, observations revealed no signs of cometary activity after it slingshotted past the Sun on Sept. 9, 2017 at a blistering speed of 196,000 miles per hour (87.3 kilometers per second). It was briefly classified as an asteroid until new measurements found it was accelerating slightly , a sign it behaves more like a comet.

Did you mean rock?

No, it has been determined that it was not a rock

Modding: I fixed the title for you.

Nothing you linked to has determined it was artificial, “might” is not equal to proof.

Seeing and detecting is proof that it is/was not a mirage

Here’s an article about this from the New Yorker. It is mysterious, it probably came from outside the solar system, but saying it is a probe would require a lot more evidence than there is.

Nobody is saying it wasn’t a mirage. It was an interstellar object, but deep space is full of those. Some are as large as planets. There is no evidence for it being artificial.

OK, assuming it was an alien craft that traveled a vast distance across the galaxy to visit our solar system, perhaps because of signs of life on the third planet. Why go so far but not get any closer to that planet?

Sure, we saw and detected a rock. No one is arguing that it was a mirage.

Hell, I’m a firm believer that we are not alone in the universe. I’m also a firm believer that if you want to convince me that we’ve made contact, you need something known as evidence. A rock is not evidence.

Where does the mirage suddenly come into play?

Your title is very misleading. Enough so that I considered shutting it down. I settled for the disclaimer.

It proves we are not alone, if you consider any interstellar object to be company. No one said the object didn’t exist. It’s a huge leap from interstellar object to interstellar alien probe.

I think the OP may be leaning on the weight of a “Harvard paper” as evidence. Because surely the smart people at Harvard can’t be wrong!

But the thing is, as smart as the authors of this paper may be, they are biased. they probably got into astronomy because the thought of aliens excites them. So it’s very likely a Harvard undergrad got a little excited and pulled the “it’s aliens!” trigger a little prematurely.

Please try to explain the shape. Everything we have discovered so far are basically round shaped objects.

Just because one can’t explain it doesn’t mean aliens did it.

This way of thinking is a trapping a lot of religious people fall for.

You mean, like Comet 67B?

Nothing about that cigar shaped object suggests it was artificial in the least. Looks entirely natural.

Now, if it came with solar panels…

Aha! Proof the conspiracy runs deeper than we suspected!

Granted, the shape of the object in the OP reminds me of a Mon Calamari Star Cruiser, from Return of the Jedi, but I’m a nerd. :smiley:

close but no cigars

Then your answer is maybe, maybe not?
