Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has reignited a debate about whether alien life can explain an object that visited the solar system in 2017 in a scathing new book.

It's not impossible, but it does seem improbable.

Then again, consider how we work with animals we don't wish to disturb -- duck blinds and basic camouflage.

It would stand to reason that a civilization sufficiently advanced to master interstellar probes would also know how to make those probes appear to be unremarkable and blend into the background.

Alien life can be postulated to explain anything, including how to make a cup of tea.

It does not mean than alien life is the only explanation.

a cigar- or disc-shaped object

A cigar shaped asteroid?

We have a lot of dumbbell shaped binary asteroids in the solar system but not one single cigar shaped asteroid. (Out of 100’s of thousands of asteroids) A binary is unlikely to spin that fast without separating.

Nada on disc shaped asteroids too. Gravitational collapse leads to a somewhat spherical if lumpy shape.

What process could create a cigar or disc shaped asteroid? How could such a shape be gravitationally stable?

What about the peculiar alien markings from a long dead Empire that were seen on Oumuamua?

What could the symbols HMS QE III mean?

 

[Catastrophe]

Can anyone provide clear photos of these alleged symbols. I have found plenty of images of Oumuamua, many artists' interpretations, some labelled 'spaceship', but nothing to convince me of any "peculiar alien markings from a long dead Empire" and nothing resembling "the symbols HMS QE III .
