Despite pressure from some in the scientific community, a researcher at Harvard University is moving forward with the idea that the first international object to be discovered is actually part of alien technology.
In his new book, Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth, L. V. Loeb, chairman of Harvard’s astronomy department, makes the case that ‘Omuamua’ was part of an advanced technology created by a distant alien culture. According to a statement issued by publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Mysterious Interstellar B Budget ‘Omuamua Receives New Origin Story
The mysterious object object was first discovered in October-October 2017, but because of its shape and its dry surface, researchers have never seen it before. It was no longer visible through binoculars until January, 2018, as it was damaged by a solar system heading back to international space.
Omuamua, meaning “pathfinder” or “scout” in Hawaiian, was first classified as a planet when it was seen traveling 196,000 miles, but recently it has become more like a comet.
The original location of the 900-foot-long, cigar-shaped ‘Omuamua’ is still a mystery. Some suggest that it could come from the giant molecular cloud (GMC) W51, 17,000 light-years from Earth.
Others have theorized that it is a comet or asteroid, while others have suggested that it contains hydrogen ice, which is almost unheard of in science. In August Gust, Loeb co-authored a paper challenging the idea that ‘Omuamua hydrogen is made of ice.
For now, Loeb, who first published a study in November 2018 suggesting that ‘Omuamua is a lamp of artificial origin,’ is advancing the idea that it came from another intelligent culture.
The international visitor ‘Omuamua’ should never be left out, theories say
In an interview with the New York Post, Loeb said, “Excessive pressure from the sun was the only thing that broke the back.
Lobeb added that his theory has caused some controversy in the scientific community, but noted that there are also people who “do not want to discuss the possibility that there are other cultures. They believe that we are special and unique. I think so.” That is the prejudice that should be abandoned. ”

In November 2018, researcher who discovered Canadian physicist and astronomer Robert Werrick ‘Omuamua’ said that the idea that he belonged to another culture was just “wild speculation”.
A lot of mystery about its exact nature was revealed in late 2018, when NASA said it had been looking in the direction of ‘Oamumua for two months, but did not see it in the original.
Another endocrine object, Comet 2i / Borisov, was discovered in August 2019.
