Mystery of cigar-shaped space object Oumuamua gets deeper

TLDR: Scientists are struggling to explain this odd object that entered our solar system and doesn't act like a normal comet. One natural explanation was it was made of hydrogen, explaining the odd behavior, but a study out a few days ago shoots down that theory.

'Oumuamua—a mysterious, interstellar object that crashed through our solar system two years ago—might in fact be alien technology. That’s because an alternative, non-alien explanation might be fatally flawed, as a new study argues.
In 2018, our solar system ran into an object lost in interstellar space. The object, dubbed 'Oumuamua, seemed to be long and thin—cigar-shaped—and tumbling end over end. Then, close observations showed it was accelerating, as if something were pushing on it. Scientists still aren't sure why.

'Oumuamua was the first object ever seen flying into our solar system and back out again. That's opposed to most solar system objects that turn circles around the sun, never leaving the celestial neighborhood. Its journey and the fact that it was accelerating suggested 'Oumuamua, which is estimated to be about 1,300 to 2,600 feet (400 to 800 meters) long, was a comet. And yet, "there was no 'coma' or outgassing detected coming from the object," Seligman said. Normally, comets come from regions more distant from the sun than asteroids, and ice on their surface turns straight into gas as they approach the sun, leaving behind a trail of gas, or what we see as a beautiful comet tail, Seligman said.

Welp, I’m convinced.

Yep. It’s flying just like aliens do.

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus

A year the mailboxes disappeared.
And then suddenly an alien cigar tumbles through ...

Aliens have super advanced interstellar technology but are tumbling end over end in a glorified terd?
Yea I’m not buying it.
