Not long ago, a piece of that unknown came to visit us in the form of a mysterious object from a distant star. And an astronomer noticed something unusual about his discovery. Most asteroids follow a predictable orbit around the sun, but the object he would later dub Oumuamua, was behaving unusually as it darted through space, not too far away from Earth. Researchers found that, based on 'Oumuamua’s trajectory, the object had originated from somewhere beyond the solar system, and was merely passing through on its way to parts unknown. That’s where it got its name, which translates roughly to “messenger from far away” in Hawaiian. But what is it? Is this enigmatic traveler a natural occurrence, or was it sent here by a distant civilization from across the stars? Other videos you might like:

– This strange interstellar object was first discovered by an astronomer named Rob Weryck, from the University of Hawaii on October 19th, 2017.
– While most asteroids and comets tend to be round, or at least elliptical, the reddish, cylinder-shaped object was 1312 feet long by only about 400 feet wide. – Scientists aren’t quite convinced that little green men are responsible for our mysterious red-hued visitor. Much more likely, it was evaporating gases, rather than burning thrusters, propelling the object through space at an ever-increasing speed. – Oumuamua was reclassified as a comet instead of an asteroid; but that explanation wasn’t without its problems either. – The most noticeable was the absence of a visible tail. – The most likely explanation is that 'Oumuamua used to be a comet, and what we’re seeing is the remains of its rocky core after most of the object’s water ice had been shed away.
– Astronomers believe that 'Oumuamua originates from somewhere near the star Vega, in the constellation Lyra, an eagle-shaped collection of stars visible in both the northern and southern hemispheres. – Astronomers believe that 'Oumuamua is most likely just a small fragment of a planet destroyed in a cataclysmic event. – While researchers are certain that 'Oumuamua is a natural formation, that doesn’t mean it isn’t carrying alien visitors.
– While the interior makeup of the object is mostly unknown, it’s within the realm of possibility that extraterrestrial microbes could be residing inside it. – It’s possible that single-celled life forms could survive frozen inside 'Oumuamua, protected from damaging radiation by the object’s thick, rocky, outer shell.
