Harvard scientists think an alien probe could have passed near Earth last year.
A “cigar-shaped” object known as Oumuamua passed through the solar system in 2017. Now two scientists at Havard’s Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC) have speculated that it’s unusual trajectory and acceleration could mean it was part of an alien probe or vessel, such as a solar sail. But some people have been quick to cast doubt on the theory. I think that this is a really cool theory and I honestly believe that this could be what that object is.
A mysterious object flying through space has had scientists puzzled for about a year now!
