If this is true, Oumuamu may be here to scan the signal of the earth's "neighbor". Is Oumuamu, with a unique movement trajectory, the product of alien intelligent life?
The real existence of aliens is true. What is the connection between this Aomuamu who visited the solar system in 2017?
What if Oumuamu was emitted into the solar system by some kind of alien civilization in order to search for unnatural signals? This is a rather unbelievable but probably a question worth pondering. This is said by an astrophysicist.

Once a colleague of mine felt that the famous Paris bakery shop would line up to the road every morning, and he said, "I hope someone can look forward to my scientific papers just as Parisians long for their baguette ."
But there is one thing that hopes is an exception. That is: new evidence has emerged for the assertion that we are not the only intelligent creatures in this universe.
Recently, this scientific evidence has two sources.
First, Aomumo, this interstellar (traveling) object discovered in 2017. It is said to have a flat shape and looks like it is pushed away from the sun by some external push, such as Sun Sail (Translator's note: propulsion technology driven by sunlight light pressure). This "pizza" flips every 8 hours and is very rare in its motion state based on the local static standard system (using the average motion of stars adjacent to the sun as the reference system).
Second, the US Pentagon is preparing to submit a report from the US Congress, believing that some unknown aerial phenomena are real, but their nature is still unknown. If unknown aerial phenomena originate from China or Russia and pose national security risks to the United States, their existence will never be disclosed to the public. Therefore, we have reason to infer that the U.S. government believes that some phenomena do not originate from human behavior. This inference points to two possibilities: one is that these unknown air phenomena are natural phenomena on the earth, and the other is that they originate from alien intelligent life. Both possibilities point to the blind spots of our scientific cognition. Then, the study of unknown air phenomena will be transformed from a topic of national security managers and politicians to a scientific topic by scientists, not government officials.
Many or even most unknown aerial phenomena may be natural phenomena. But even if one of them is related to alien intelligent life, will it be possible that it has a slight connection with "Oumumo"?
If objects like Aomumo are purely natural phenomena, then the number of "Aomumo-like" speculated based on such as such assumptions will be unreasonable. I wrote a paper in 2009 with Amaya Moro-Martín and Ed Turner where we first assumed that these stones were ejected from similar planetary systems orbiting other stars, and then calculated the number of these objects orbiting interstellar based on our understanding of the solar system. Conclusion is that the number of Oumuamu explained by models like this is orders of magnitude more than the estimated number of interstellar objects per unit volume. In fact, if the "Oumamus" were distributed in random trajectory according to the same probability of each direction of motion, any specific time in the solar system should be an existence of the order of gigabit.
But if Oumuamu is an object created only for the intelligent life of the sun, the purpose is to collect data from habitable areas near the earth, and its true number is reasonable. Some people may wonder whether Oumuamu can retrieve data from sensors scattered on Earth earlier, but based on this inference, Oumuamu's slender, flat shape can be interpreted as a receiver. Therefore, Aomumo relies on sunlight to advance not to get propulsion but as a by-product of its slender flat shape. A similar propulsion method that relies on sunlight reflection without comet tail was identified by the Pan-Star Project telescope in 2020 and has the characteristics of an artificial rocket booster.This telescope is the one that discovered Oumuamu.
Now, the possibility of any unknown air phenomenon being an alien visitor is still very low. But if we just think about it as a fun pastime, then Oumuamu's tumbling motion pattern may suggest the act of scanning signals from all directions. Prior to the implementation of the Pan-Star program, the aircraft before Oumuamu may have placed sensors in the atmosphere without being perceived. Following this imaginative reasoning, it would have been deliberately arranged to appear to be from a local static standard system that is uncharacteristically, as the local "galaxy parking lot", so its origin is still unknown.
But rather than simply hesitating about these possibilities, we can collect more valuable scientific data to clarify the nature of unknown aerial phenomena. This can be done with the deployment of state-of-the-art cameras on a large field of view telescope that monitors the sky. The sky is not confidential except for government-owned sensors. Using searches to report unidentified phenomena in the same geographical location of unknown aerial phenomena, scientists can conduct clear analysis of public data to solve the mystery.
As stated in my recent book "The Alien", I don't like science fiction stories because the plot often violates the laws of physics. But we should be open to the possibility that science will one day reveal the truth about what was previously considered a fantasy.
