Watch: Is a Cigar-shaped Interstellar Object that Flew Past Earth a Sign of Alien Technology?

Have aliens arrived and gone flying by us? Some are worried and reaching out with telescopes to check out a strange cigar shaped object that flew past the Earth before it gets too far away.

Astronomers are set to scan an ‘alien’ comet for signs of extraterrestrial technology.

The cigar-shaped asteroid, named ‘Oumuamua by its discoverers, sailed past Earth last month and is the first interstellar object seen in the solar system. A team of alien-hunting scientists, led by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, will scan the comet this week before it sails beyond the reach of Earth’s telescopes.

They say they are looking for radio signals, claiming the mysterious visitor could be an alien spaceship.

‘The more I study this object, the more unusual it appears, making me wonder whether it might be an artificially made probe which was sent by an alien civilisation,’ Professor Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s astronomy department and one of Milner’s advisers on Breakthrough Listen, wrote in the email. – Daily Mail

So what do you think? Just a rock in space or something more?
