Can we discuss Oumuamua? (Aliens)

This was an interstellar object spotted recently that had characteristics never seen before and some of it’s behavior has yet to be explained
Scientific America
Couple of strange facts about Oumuamua
1. It was basically just siting in interstellar space and our galaxy passed through it. This has never been observed before.
2. Most objects in space are round due to effects of gravity. Not Oumuamua
3. We don’t know what it’s made of, but it’s very shiny
4. When it passed close to our sun it changed trajectory in a manner that is not consistent with any natural process we know of
5. This movement may be consistent with an artificial solar sail. A interstellar “message in a bottle” maybe?
So what says the OT?
Normal space rock, artificial solar sail, or alien terd?

quote:
Oumuamua is like a buoy sitting at rest on the surface of the ocean, with the solar system running into it like a fast ship
2. Most objects in space are round due to effects of gravity. Not Oumuamua
quote:
Oumuamua has an extreme elongated shape with its length at least five to 10 times larger than its projected width.
3. We don’t know what it’s made of, but it’s very shiny
quote:
Oumuamua must be unusually shiny, with a reflectance that is at least 10 times higher than exhibited by solar system asteroids
4. When it passed close to our sun it changed trajectory in a manner that is not consistent with any natural process we know of
quote:
The trajectory of ‘Oumuamua deviated from that expected based on the sun’s gravity alone. The deviation is small (a tenth of a percent) but highly statistically significant
5. This movement may be consistent with an artificial solar sail. A interstellar “message in a bottle” maybe?
quote:
Oumuamua needs to be less than a millimeter thick but with a size of at least 20 meters (for a perfect reflector), resembling a lightsail of artificial origin.
So what says the OT?
Normal space rock, artificial solar sail, or alien terd?

Why didn't we set up a big trawl net and scoop it up when we passed by it. Looks like it's a valuable substance we could have mined.

space is bullshite. If there's all those supposed rocks out there why aren't they falling down and hitting us?

Terd's a citizen.

They say it’s speeding up now.

Alien turd is the only answer!

It's an object from another dimension that does not follow the same fundamental laws of our 3D world.

It's an interstellar Mr. Hankey.

Was someone asleep at the space object naming registry that day?

Can we discuss Oumuamua?

Rama or doomsday device. Why'd they name it Omorosa?

Wow it really changed trajectory!

That's a intergalactic dildo.

That’s just a big frozen space turd that got dropped out of an intergalactic airliner (they look like DC-8s)

Those are some big logical leaps being made there.
"This is mathematically very rare, therefore it shouldn't happen.. and aliens".

I think it's an interstellar survey beacon
