When the strange, cigar-shaped object known as Oumuamua zipped through our solar system in 2017 it was a momentous occasion for astronomers around the globe. The object appeared to have originated somewhere other than our system, making it the first interstellar visitor ever to be spotted by mankind. It cruised in, zipped around our Sun, and headed back out to space. But what was it? Theories have shifted back and forth between the rock being an asteroid, comet, or some hybrid of the two, but a few select researchers aren't ready to throw out the possibility that the object was in fact alien-made.
Harvard professor Avi Loeb made a name for himself early on in the investigation of Oumuamua by standing firm by his belief that the long, narrow object could have been some kind of alien probe or maybe a piece of alien space junk. His claims were largely dismissed by his peers, but the years that have passed since Oumuamua came and left haven't changed Loeb's stance, and he's now published a book where he lays out the evidence that supports his theories.
