Let’s get this straight. It came from interstellar space and yet passed
curiously close to the sun, inside the orbit of Mercury. Nearly all
interstellar objects are expected to be icy, but it let off no trace of
vapor or dust despite the close passage. And you think it is ten times
as long as it is wide, triple the ratio of any known asteroid. All this
and you don’t believe it was a visiting starship?
