NASA And Harvard Researchers Surfacing More Info About 2017's Interstellar Object Oumuamua, Which Could Have Been Aliens

We experienced a surprising amount of animosity and pushback from some of our longtime readers when we covered the shocking news that Israel’s former space security chief had told the media aliens were on Mars, somewhere deep beneath the Martian surface, and that these aliens were also according to him in contact with the American and Israeli governments.

NASA artist rendering of Oumuamua, which passed through the heart of our solar system three years ago at a mindblowing almost 200,000 miles per hour — and weirdly, its acceleration pattern did not seem to match that of most inert objects or comets observed previously from Earth.

What made these claims so shocking last month in December, when many were more focused on the pandemic, is that some military experts, and many in the media, didn’t seem to push back against the Israeli bureaucrat’s claims.

At the same time, the media reported on the remarkable discovery of “space manifolds” throughout our solar system, which could be — or maybe already are — being harnessed to shuttle objects including spacecraft to the edges of our solar system, far faster than traditional propulsion systems allow:

…scientists have found that "space manifolds" throughout our solar system, which leverage the gravitational pull of Jupiter and other planetary bodies, can shuttle objects many times faster than traditional means. If fully understood, this could one day transport astronauts to the edges of the solar system in mere hours.

Enter Oumuamua — the 2017 high speed object that could have been an extraterrestrial starship passing through our solar system at outrageous speed (about 196,000 miles per hour):

According to one report from Yahoo! News, “A Harvard professor believes that we were visited by an alien object in 2017.

In his upcoming book, Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth, theoretical physicist Avi Loeb lays out his theory about a peculiar-shaped object that entered our solar system several years ago.

The interstellar object—named "Oumuamua"—was first observed through the Pan-STARRS telescope at Hawaii's Haleakala Observatory in 2017. Researchers determined that it had passed through the ecliptic plane on Sept. 6 from the direction of Vega, a star in the Lyra constellation that is about 25 light-years away from our planet. Just three days after later, Oumuamua—Hawaiian for "scout"—began accelerating toward the sun, before it eventually came closer to Earth on Oct. 7, "moving swiftly toward the constellation Pegasus and the blackness beyond," according to Loeb.”

The object’s characteristics are so bizarre — including the fact it is about ten times longer than it is wide (previous objects tracked by NASA have, at most, only been three times longer than wide) — that NASA created an in-depth fact page for those interested.

Some believe the long shape could be alien engineering of some kind; think the same concept that causes designers here on Earth to make our airplanes and rockets as “streamlined” as possible, to reduce friction. Perhaps the object is so long because it is a conical or rocket-like spaceship moving at high speeds. The object’s color — dark red — is consistent with an object that has spent a long amount of time in interstellar space, as irradiation of a metal hull could turn it that color over time.

And at a point in its trajectory when an inert or “dead” object would be expected to slow down, Oumuamua actually accelerated, implying it may have onboard propulsion of some kind separate from the gravitational forces which slingshotted it (quite elegantly) around our Sun.

It gets even weirder… just days ago, Space.com reported the following discovery:

Astronomers hunting for radio signals from alien civilizations have detected an "intriguing signal" from the direction of Proxima Centauri, the nearest star system to the sun, The Guardian reported.

The researchers are still preparing a paper on the discovery, and the data has not been made public, according to The Guardian. But the signal is reportedly a narrow beam of 980 MHz radio waves detected in April and May 2019 at the Parkes telescope in Australia. The Parkes telescope is part of the $100 million Breakthrough Listen project to hunt for radio signals from technological sources beyond the solar system. The 980 MHz signal appeared once and was never detected again. That frequency is important because, as Scientific American points out, that band of radio waves is typically lacking signals from human-made craft and satellites.

Hang onto your seats. 2021 could turn out to be weirder than most of us bargained for!
