Um, l-lads?

Ayy

It has returned

anythings possible, we are really guessing with this shit

>85,700 mph (137,900 km/h) relative to the sun, NASA officials said.

We detected it because it passed near us. Every object performs a "slignshot" maneuver if it has sufficient velocity around a gravitational body. Nearly circular orbits are only present in our solar system because the bodies coalesced out of spinning proto planetary disc. Any smaller bodies that didn't make the cut just fell into the sun or were thrown out. Highly erratic orbits indicate it's front outside the system or is falling in from the oort cloud.

>inb4 its a damaged robot ship from some fleet battle
>inb4 it lands on earth and starts to repair itself using surrounding resources it gathers so it can send a transmission to its HQ so the robots invade us
>inb4 it's the Strogg using slip gate technology to send out scout drones not just in between space but dimensions/reality itself
I hope you're ready to frag some squibs because we're on the menu

>ʻOumuamua

Of course it has to have an ethnic name

it looks like it's takin a shot at earf to me

That's 100% a space ship

>slingshot trajectory
what are you talking about, of course it followed a slingshot around the Sun, thats how orbits work. It would be far more interesting if it didn't, then we could really get excited
