Scientists are Lying About That Weird, Unexplained, Alien Space Rock

Source – The interstellar asteroid ‘Oumuamua is almost definitely not an alien spaceship. A review of all the data we have on the strange object, which came hurtling through our solar system in 2017, has concluded that everything about it can be explained by natural processes.

Astronomers spotted ‘Oumuamua in October 2017, three days after it made its closest approach to Earth and more than a month after it flew past the sun. The asteroid’s trajectory made it clear that it must just be passing through from beyond our solar system, rather than originating here.

It is a weird object: it’s likely cigar-shaped, at least six times as long as it is wide, and tumbling end over end every eight hours. … The strangest thing about ‘Oumuamua is its acceleration. As it moved past the sun, it started to speed up, more than could be accounted for by gravitational forces alone. The simplest explanation was that, like a comet, it was releasing dust and gas as the sun heated it up, which would act as a sort of thruster to push it forward.

But observations showed that there was no small-grained dust coming off ‘Oumuamua, and none of the gases that we looked for showed up. That led some researchers to speculate that it might be large and flat, like a solar sail, and the sun’s light alone was pushing it to speed up – a few even pondered whether it could actually be a solar sail constructed and sent here by aliens.

That’s not the case, says Matthew Knight at the University of Maryland, part of the team that put together this new report. “The argument for the solar sail is that it has to be aligned with our sun to give it the acceleration that we see. … There are plenty of ways to form it that don’t involve aliens, and I don’t think there’s any reason to invoke something that extraordinary unless we rule everything else out,” Knight says.

So much for science and the government finally leveling with us and telling the truth about UFOs.

I mean, sure. The military is leaking out stuff in dribs and drabs. They released that nose camera video of the Tic Tac UFO. They said they’re making it easier for crew members to report Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. We had that National Weather Service admit they didn’t know what those things were over Kansas City. So that felt like progress.

But here we’ve got Oumuamua, a thing no one has ever observed before and can’t explain, and they go right back to Page 1 of the Coverup Playbook. Deny. Speculate. Theorize. Belittle.

Right. So a giant space penis is flying through space completely of its on power. Going vertically through our solar system’s orbit and completely against the laws of gravity. But it’s perfectly natural. No one’s ever seen a massive interstellar turd before, but there’s nothing to see here. We don’t know what it is, where it came from or what propels it through space. We just know no one built it.

I don’t claim to be a scientist from the University of Maryland. But I have watched way more “Star Trek” over the course of my lifetime than anybody should. So in a way, that makes me an expert. So what do I think this star dildo is? Worst case scenario, it’s the Planet Killer from “The Original Series” and we’re doomed:

Best case scenario, it’s a huge probe sent here to talk to whales. From “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.” More commonly known as “the funny one where they go back in time to the 80s to bring back George and Gracie”:

Then, once they get here and find out the Russians and Japanese haven’t wiped out all the whales yet, we’re off the hook.

So this huge log is somewhere in between those two extremes. But one thing we know Oumuamua isn’t. And that’s just some naturally occurring object just harmlessly breaking all the rules of the universe. Nice try, space nerds. But I for one am not buying it.
