The natural explanation for ‘Oumuamua’s strange movements cuts against a theory forwarded by Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb. Loeb, who has recently completed work for the Pentagon’s UFO investigation department, believes that the object was actually an alien artifact. It might sound outlandish, but Loeb’s approach is more rigorous than your typical alien-hunter. He and his colleagues have debunked reports of UFOs above Ukraine, and recently confirmed the presence of the first interstellar object on Earth using classified government data. In emails to Motherboard, Loeb defended his theory and said that the new analysis does not disprove it because he thinks the observed speed-up of ‘Oumuamua would require the complete evaporation of its hydrogen.“This is like saying an elephant might be a zebra without stripes”
