Faster unidentified object, lets get this over with
The fact that this is one of three known potential interstellar objects, and the other two were from 2017 and 2019, makes me believe this is a far more common occurrence than I thought it would be.
Almost makes me wonder what we could do if we had a handful of pre staged interstellar interceptors in orbit around a few planets in the solar system. This might give us the ability to intercept and analyze fast moving transient objects like this.
This is one of the many reasons why science missions are so important!
I do hope that they come up with a more memorable name than A11pl3Z before it gets here.
Our galaxy is about 100,000 light years across.
It is about 14 billion years old.
Self-replicating probes traveling at only 1% the speed of light could have crossed the galaxy over 1000 times by now.
*Where is everyone?*
It’s a comet. https://bsky.app/profile/planet4589.bsky.social/post/3lszkiure4s2s
Somebody better call Pullman, Goldblum, and Smith
Why is there a picture of a hurricane in reference…
Please be aliens coming to kill us. Please be aliens coming to kill us. Please be aliens coming to kill us. Please be aliens coming to kill us.
Yeah, not unidentified at all. We definitely know what it is.
The Trump appointed head of NASA has released a statement on the unidentified object: “This is Biden’s fault.”
It’s coming here to chat with the humpback whales
I love how the title immediately makes me think of an invasion. Too much TV
Let’s see if it starts slowing down around September, then everyone will shit bricks hello Mick how ya doing !
This sounds all too familiar w Independence Day plot.
Rama? This reminds me the beginning of the book.
Wow, Marvel’s marketing budget is bigger than I thought.
Jokes aside, I hope that if we’re gonna get ‘Oumuamua’d again somebody out there is mashing a ‘Project Lyra’ button.

7-12 miles wide
150k miles per hour
Going to pass by Mars Orbit
Detected around Jupiter
In astronomical terms, this is close AF — if this is some vaporized extra-solar planet chunks coming this way, there could very well be more in the near future.
This is an extinction level object and should be a wake-up call
“Comscan has detected an energy shield protecting an area of the third planet of the Earth system.”
When they say “It’s moving at over 150,000 miles per hour”. What is that relative to?
I really wish we could land a probe on it and hitch a ride . This thing is going 5 times faster than Voyager 2 , it would only take a dozen years to overtake it .
Given that this is the third interstellar object we have ever seen and all three were seen in less than a decade, would it be a safe assumption that these have been more frequent and we’ve never been able to see them before?
Well, it is independance day tomorrow afterall.

Wow we’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel for content, aren’t we? How in the world is this random blog WITH ZERO SOURCES being taken seriously by everyone in this thread?
Dr. Evil’s spaceship, with the doctor and Mr. Bigglesworth?
I love the headlines for this, since we’ve only been able to detect these things for a few years now.
It’s not a UFO, probably a nifty space rock
Rendezvous with Rama movie marketing started early 😁
That website has some sort of malware on it.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say… rock.
Big space rock moving through.
I mean, with all the shit going on down here on earth right now I seriously don’t have Alien contact on my bingo card.
Is it passing through on the same orbital plane of our solar system?
Can it please just be aliens that take over the world, I’m ready.
Imagine the irony if it was a species of alien immigrants. Fooking Prawns.
The better we get at spotting these things the more of them we are going to spot.
Oh, please be aliens. We can use an alien invasion at this point …
Someone get Russel Case on the phone. We need him on standby.
