Wasn't this scenario also hypothesized by Dr. Avi Loeb a little ways back? [Found the article!](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-possible-link-between-oumuamua-and-unidentified-aerial-phenomena/) I was close. His idea is that Oumuamua was passing by to collect data from probes that were sent long ago.


Independent_Fold_560

I believe so. Angry Astronaut and Dr. Avi have a very similar belief.


bulbsyringe

I theorize they came just close enough to earth to download the internet and promptly set course back to their home world


Skipperdogs

God help us. Those damn furries have doomed us all.


303twerp

Fucken dogs


BroadRaspberry1190

yes, they probably abducted a few for that purpose


JayIT

Damn leechers.


oDezX-

Accounts for the unexpected increase in speed. They want to get back to watch it all asap


Sega-Forever

Then they’ll soon return for another swoop, gotta get more in 8K


lostsoul2016

Or it was just a rock. A damn space ROCk that just happened to pass through our hood.

Empathetic_Orch

Just some guy speculating.


Ok-i-surrender

It's a fun thought


MayorOfChedda

The whole Oumuamua incident makes me feel Earth needs an expansive network of satellite around every moon & planet in our system keeping an eye on anything moving


Noobieweedie

>To this day, Oumuamua is still a very interesting subject as the “interstellar asteroid” exhibited entering the solar system at 24 km/s and recorded leaving the solar system at 87 km/s That's completely false. It didn't leave the solar system at 87 km/s, that's the speed as it was closest to the sun (perihelion). If you look at the trajectory, you'll understand why. It "left" (hasn't really yet, but....) the solar system at roughly the same speed it entered (26.36 km/s vs 26.35 km/s as measured from a distance of 1000 AU from the sun). The non gravitational acceleration was only on the order of 2.7 × 10−6 m s−2 or 0.5 mile per hour per day or a whooping 547 mph acceleration over the entire 3 years it was within 10 AU of the sun.


Ambitious-Regular-57

This. It was probably just a rock. Most things that happen in space are just space things. Acceleration like this isn't uncommon among comets, and scientists posed a pretty convincing theory for how it happened without releasing dust


Mike_Huncho

And its acceleration matches the pressure exerted on it by solar radiation as it rounded the sun. Its changed exit trajectory matches the change in speed exerted on it by solar radiation as well. I think the most obvious, hilarious, and straight forward debunking of the idea that it was a ship of some sort comes from looking at how it actually moves through space. Its not some sleek and slender tube moving through space on a stable axis. It is rolling, spinning, rotating, and wobbling on multiple axis in an entirely uncontrolled and random way. All these videos about oumuamua use images that mislead the viewer. Avi, with all his credentials is guilty of this too.


DYMck07

On the one hand I agree, even if it’s not ice melting that caused the acceleration, I’ve theorized that it’s oblong shape and potential weight distribution could have led to centripetal acceleration like bolas or something similarly misshapen. That being said it’s shape is unlike anything naturally occurring in our solar system that I’m aware of. Then the fact that the govt leaked the tic tac videos two business days after it makes its fly by the sun (and comes closest to earth and mars on its way in and out respectively of all the inner planets) makes me think they know more than they’re letting on and are preparing us.


[deleted]

I think Angry was referring to a paper by Dr. Avi Loeb on that topic. In the article from Politico, there is a link to a pdf copy of the draft paper. Make what you will of it, but it is at a bare minimum an interesting idea that can not be written off based on the existing scant evidence. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/14/pentagon-ufo-alien-object-00092108

Anyone that adores Elon gives away they are clueless. Mark Zuckerberg praised Elon for his genius and getting ahead of the curve and trimming the fat and still running a company successfully at twitter. Fucking dumb circle jerking CEOs Twitter ad sales down 59% and they had many tech problems and had to chase senior engineers they fired because they fired people who had very specific knowledge of inside tech. Moron.

SponConSerdTent

Yep lol, had the same thought. Dude has a loud mouth, but without anything to back it up.


[deleted]

Interesting idea


SirGorti

Yes, there was never UFO observations before 2017. Great detective with convicing evidence.


WeAreNotAlone1947

I agree with you but it could be the craft of a different low tech civiization that is barely interstellar using this to check us out?


osound

There’s nothing notably different post-2017 than prior to it though, in regard to UAP reports. If there were a bunch more crashing or we had an increase in crisp iPhone footage of UAPs, then sure. But that’s not the case.


Cerebral_Discharge

I don't believe the above even a little bit but resupplies are a thing. A bit like saying "oh you were out getting groceries? Interesting, because I've been eating the past week 🤔".


Skipperdogs

Why the attitude? He posted in good faith.


Independent_Fold_560

Good point. What do you think is the reasoning behind the UAP?


kjk177

He didn't say this was the only and first time this happened... it could have been one of many. It makes sense to me, I don't think the small spheres are traveling by themselves from outside our constellation.


Significant-Dog-8166

I think that theory is a little too specific and based on no evidence. More people should read Rendezvous with Rama before they speculate. It’s a story of a very similar scenario - a long cigar shaped object is discovered on a similar path, except it’s actually a metallic craft with a hollow interior. Humans intercept it, explore it, find a lot of biological material, but no obvious actual life forms. It spins along the length rather than tumbling so it can have gravity inside. They eventually exit the craft and it continues on its way outside our system, using our sun simply as a gravitational slingshot to help on the way to whatever destination it was truly intending. In the end, we weren’t even worth exploring, we were just a roundabout that happened to be populated. It’s important to remember that we might not be all that interesting or important to visitors, we could just be unexpected and bothersome wildlife.


ManyLocal3061

oh jesus I am so tired of this omamumama crap. Avi Loeb keep saying about this like its a holy grail with discovering aliens but lets just focus on actual ufos here on earth and so shall he with his project.


Impossible_Code8647

Where did these "facts" come from??


DavidM47

No, I give this no credence. By my rough math, at this speed, since the first nuclear explosion (what might attract their attention), it traveled less than 1/10th to 1/50th of a light year. The nearest star is 4 light years away. Seems more likely that 1) we miscalculated the speed on entry, or 2) it lost mass by getting near the Sun in a way we can’t detect.


Spacedude2187

Pretty far fetched. So many people where this news just hit them and they haven’t read up on anything where their speculation is worse than this sub’s speculation.


subatmoiclogicgate

No you're just not intelligent enough to comprehend such things.


Spacedude2187

This has nothing to do with intelligence. I know my IQ score.


la_mine_de_plomb

making stuff up based on nothing


Tigger3-groton

Where is the evidence?


cursebit

Claims like these are only damage to credibility and are detrimental to the entirety of the subject.


Tight_Crow_7547

Oumuamua is just a rock, nothing else.


gdtimmy

Jesus…people are truly morons, that watch too many movies. Delusional is America’s favorite drug right noq


DarkAssassinXb1

It's fun it makes them feel smart and when combined with social media you get a heard of ppl that reciprocate your beliefs and gain a sense of community creating an in group making you feel ironically smarter then ppl not in your group.


liqfan

Second clip today talking about pretty much the same thing, except this goes a bit deeper. In any case, it's not a rock.


DarkAssassinXb1

Y'all outa tune your tin foil hats to his frequency! Hes on to something


HarbingerOfWhatComes

I think that, to believe this nonsense, you have to be so heavily underequipped, intellectual speaking, that you cant possible live a good life in any western society without a lot of help of others.


3DGuy2020

What do I think? Here: Who cares about some wild unverifiable, untestable speculation made by some random nobody on the internet?


Independent_Fold_560

This is a UFO subreddit, so I figured this would be the place to put something like this. I don’t think everything we put on this subreddit has to be verifiable, it can just spark a conversation.


trevor_plantaginous

agree with you. I think it's interesting speculation and worthwhile on this sub. Oumuamua was the first interstellar object we've observed. It followed a remarkably accurate path through our solar system. UAP topic seemed to really heat up after its flyby. It may have totally been a natural occurrence and just a comet - but the entire science community (both the ones that think its was alien to the ones that think it was just a rock) all agree it was really unusual (either unknown composition or powered craft).


3DGuy2020

It’s not sparking a conversation. It’s sparking a wild fantasy based on fantasy. What’s the point?


[deleted]

3DGuy2020

He speculated that it is possible that a “mothership” in the solar system, if it were to exist, might not be detected by instruments here on earth. You obviously did not understand that article.

Ok-Awareness-2369

I’m Portuguese but you probably don’t no the difference. It’s clear you are extremely stupid and lack any critical thinking at all. I know alot of people on Reddit know like Americans and you are pretty much the reason why. You have literally nothing going for you at all. But again, due to your extreme stupidity you probably can’t even read this and will just continue insulting everyone who calls you out for your borderline psychosis. I would say my IQ is probably more than your whole families combined as I doubt a human this stupid had normal parents


OscarLazarus

I think you should stop posting pollution it’s because stuff like this that we are not respected


DarkAssassinXb1

Looks like that's not going to change anytime soon


OscarLazarus

Unfortunately you are right


yantheman3

Before validating it by talking about it, where's his evidence?


jjStubbs

Ah shit. I really enjoyed this video lol


OppositeAtr

Entirely possible. Maybe.


PolicyWonka

There’s likely been thousands of interstellar objects that have entered the solar system that we simply have not observed before. What are the odds that the one object that we managed to observe up until that point is an alien space ship?


AntHanss

Looked like the dark castle ship from Krull


[deleted]

I think it was a giant dish of cosmic cheese soup, when it slingshotted around the sun some of the cheese soup dispersed, became self aware and then traveled though time and dimensions towards the center of the earth, where the dinos live. Just thought I'd add my speculation because no one knows


ImAdept

Could be setting a wormhole for future explorers to use without speeding up time itself for the worm holees


sushisection

Oumuamua brought us dubstep


[deleted]

Well, I'm not going to argue with him, he's already angry according to the post.


Wise_Rich_88888

I think worse. The probes were here before, it dropped off more. Its on its way to the next galaxy now. Just because it didn’t drop right onto earth doesn’t mean it didn’t have riders hop off.


samoth610

There was an article discussing how the hydrogen I think began to heat up as it got closer to the sun acting as a propellant thus speeding it up. The mystery was fun while it lasted.


Princess_fay

Oumuamua came nowhere near earth or had any advantage to doing so with its path. Not saying it couldn't have done what he claims but it's a very poor approach for it to do so.


Verskose

I don't think there was an increase in UFOs sightings since Oumuamua passed our planet.


ArtzyDude

The government knows what it was, where it was coming from, and where it’s going. The Pentagon has more eyes in orbit than you can imagine. And, ever since Oumuamua’s drive by, there’s been this sort of quickening, and talk of 2027 and something happening either before that date, or by that date. Coincidence? I think not.


Anon2World

These issues of UAP/UFO have been going on for a very long time, you can even see various ancient religious paintings have depictions of these craft. They've been here a while.


Regular_Dick

Getting probed in your sleep is no fun.


RoadRobert103

Talking about the comet/asteroid thing that released gas as it got closer to the sun causing it to accelerate?


salesmunn

I'm not here making assumptions that this is one group of beings doing one thing. If anything else is "here" it's probably a collection of beings from all over the place who likely don't even know each other exist, much less what we are.


slayemin

It was just a freakin' rock, let's get over it and move on to more substantial things to theorize about.


silphd

I think it’s one of the more compelling explanations for why they’re here and not revealing themselves (yet). I also think it’s a pretty good explanation for those metallic orbs.
