Is Oumuamua (interstellar object) an Alien spaceship?

Oumuamua is a strange kind of object which was discovered in late 2017 when it had already crossed the sun and was working its way back. We do not have any real image but we do have an artist’s depiction of it.


All we know about it is its rough size and shape and also that it followed a hyperbolic orbit which means that it was going to escape the solar system and would never return back. This also means that it came from outside the solar system.


It is the first and the only object we have discovered which is an interstellar traveller i.e. it does not belong to our own solar system.


We know that when this object passed the sun it changed its direction of path which means that it accelerated. This is quite often seen when a comet passes the sun and due to its heat it releases enormous amount of gasses in order to accelerate or decelerate, but the interesting fact is that Oumuamua did not have a gaseous tale.


Oumuamua is highly reflective which is 10 times more reflective than any other rock in our solar system. This is very perplexing as there is no mechanism whatsoever to explain it and hence, some highly respected scientists have hypothesized it to be our first contact with the interstellar space.


It still remains a mystery and it is now too far for us to make any kind of observations.


WHAT DO YOU THINK COULD IT BE?
