How do you know this?
It's the first directly detected by us, sure, but this could have happened every hundred years for the past billion and nobody would have known it until now.

If they had only publicized this thing passing, the entire earth could have mooned it as it flew past. That would have showed them they don't want to mess with us.

If it got that close to earth why didn’t we attempt to intercept it?

It was moving at 58,000 mph. We don’t have the calability to intercept something that fast on short notice.

Here’s a good TedTalk that discusses this event and answers your question specifically. Worth the watch.

So the other day I was driving my truck and I noticed oak leaves in my truck bed being kicked around by the wind. I was puzzled about how the oak leaves got in the bed of the truck since I park under a carport. Then I realized and thought to myself, "We have a large oak tree in the yard and a strong wind must have blown the leaves into the truck bed". The leaves are currently falling and we had some very windy days recently. Mystery solved. I'm so smart.
I told my dad about the leaves and how I figured they got into the truck bed.
He informed me that he borrowed my truck early that morning to pick up some bags of leaves that he found on side of the road, which he already put in his garden.
The point is we don't know what we don't know and we draw conclusions based on what we do know, but we know very little, particularly about the universe and how it works.
OT: Cool, baw. That explains it.
PT: But what if your Dad is just telling you that, bc he's not redpilled enough to consider that your truck, and you, spent the weekend in another plane of lateral existence.
Or the Pleiadian council took control of you and your truck to do some yard work for one of their Earth mandataries (obviously the Pleiadians are down with the Napoleonic Code).
Hillary Clinton or the consciousness of John McCain appreciates you.

I’ve read this but also think I’ve read that others are skeptical since there wasn’t a tail of debris behind it like you’d expect from the jets

Obviously it was using the sun for a gravity assist for a flyby of earth, and jet don't work in space anyway.

our moon landers do not emit debris.

Well frick, Chrysler must have designed that POS.

If this is artificial in nature, how long ago would it have been launched to give Earth a flyby? Longer than humans have been around.
Apparently they suggest that it's only part of a whole and broke off or is no longer operational. Why would it then still be on its proper course?

He’s right. It’s the Doomsday Machine from the original Star Trek.
