Oumuamua: An Interstellar Visitor




In 2017, an astronomer discovered a strange interstellar object in space. It behaved like a comet but did not have a coma, the fuzzy blurred part that is observed around a comet. It was longer than asteroids, it accelerated like a comet, but the lack of coma meant that it was not from our solar system. 


It had a weird, almost rectangular shape which aroused a lot of interest because it made it look like an alien spaceship. This object was termed oumuamua, the first interstellar object to ever enter the sun's system.

An even more bizarre event that occurred was that after moving a certain distance away from the sun and earth, it changed its expected trajectory, got accelerated, and went on a new path. A widely believed theory is that it was just a rogue comet or exo-comet. 

But many scientists have not ruled out the possibility of it being an alien spaceship, which maybe came to explore habitable planets like earth, which does sound really interesting. What do you think, have the aliens finally found us?
