Another option, which explains the lack of communication, a lack of any kind of signal could mean the giant object is actually an 'alien shipwreck'.
Oh, great. So our Solar System is becoming the Universe's garbage dump? Figures some karma.
Hopefully they realize that the Earth is flat.
Well, we are well and truly fvcked.

if the earth was flat then EPO wouldnt work and the law of thermodynamics would be broken...IDIOT you cant stop newton!!!!
prob not even close to how he spews but i tried lol
I try to keep an open mind. I've also lived long enough to know that people tend to 'see' what they are looking for when they are looking hard enough.

LRC is a good example that there is scant evidence of intelligent life on the internet.
Any sane person would also conclude that the Democratic party is mostly made of brain dead autonomous life forms.
Remember to vote for Republicans on Tuesday to keep the lefty liberal commie degenerates from thwarting our wonderful President Trump's plans to restore this country to a place of greatness.
S.O.W.P.
... but man I hope you're being sarcastic...
These aliens will have spent the equivalent of thousands of years at super-high altitudes. Then again, micro-g-forces will make them wusses. Do we allow them to compete?

do you really think an advanced civilization who managed to create an advanced probe that visits other solar systems couldn't come up with something that would look 'radio-dark' to us? Perhaps they are exploiting quantum-nonlocality to communicate, or gravity waves, or something we can't envision yet.
When they sent the thing, our fastest forms of communication were probably pigeons and smoke signals at best. If they were advanced enough to bother hiding radio waves just in case, why not hide the visible spectrum too so we couldn't see it either?
If it had a quantum entanglement comm device, it would still make more sense to let the sun capture it so it could make detailed observations. With a solar sail, that would be as simple as pointing it backwards so the sunlight slowed it down before arrival. Earth scientists debating how to send a probe to investigate it are focused on that very issue, as quick flybys don't get much observation done.
The good news is they think it's possible to catch the thing within about 4 years. Elon Musk should be persuaded to pay for it, as desperate as he is to be useful, but he can't be allowed any role in designing it.
on a nihilist-philosophical note, this space rock was likely drifting for millions or billions of years without encountering anything. This little trip through the solar system may be the only thing that has ever happened to it or ever will.
How fast can E.T. run a mile?

More likely scenario: it’s a new type of comet not previously seen before.
Best to go w the most rational explanation first
It's funny how the "rational" explanation is the one that so desperately clings to the Christian belief that we are alone in this universe.
Most likely scenario: space turd.
Most unfortunate scenario for humans: advanced species.
That Harvard report tells me that Harvard is not the best place for a science education.
Not every space rock is the same. Not every scientist is sane. Cigar smoking is bad for the lungs so doctors claim. Stan Lee is dead. I never read comic books. The first running book I ever bought was Derek Clayton's Running to the Top. Vaping costs money, money better spent on orphans. Monica Lewinsky is currently 45 years old. She doesn't strike me as a 'thon runner. President Bill Clinton admitted to having had what he called an "inappropriate relationship" with Lewinsky while she worked at the White House in 1995–1996. Bill has a bad ticker. Wouldn't you if you knew his wife. Hillary Clinton most likely lost her soul while shopping for Cuban cigars for the former President. I'm bored with news on the DrudgeReport and the onslaught of fabricated news. Letsrun is a diversion, but even here it's not always fun and games. Not all the trolls are sane. I'm boycotting CNN, NIKE, and Ben & Jerry's. No one wants to blame the fires and mass shootings on God's adversary. Next year I'm running CIM if the aliens don't cross the border before I can get in the appropriate amount of training. Does Jamin believe in UFO's ? If yes, why so? A personal abduction? President Trump is currently my favorite Super Hero.
S.O.W.P.
Maybe there is other life "out there. " Maybe there isn't. One thing for sure is there are plenty of people who KNOW we are not alone. If there are other beings out there, I hope they are not political.

Mysterious object Oumuamua arrived in our solar system in October 2017
NASA spotted unexpected boost in speed and shift in trajectory as it passed through the inner solar system last year
Now one study claims it could actually be a solar sail sent by aliens
Another one, spotted by Crimean astronomer.
