A Possible Link Between ‘Oumuamua and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

The &quot;possible link&quot; is that the author thinks &#x27;Oumuamua might be aliens, and UAPs might be aliens, and therefore the two might be linked. That&#x27;s it.<p>There, saved you a click.

&gt;Hence, it is reasonable to conclude that the U.S. government believes that some of these objects are not human in origin.<p>Huh??? How is that &#x27;reasonable&#x27; to conclude.<p>&gt;This leaves two possibilities: either UAP are natural terrestrial phenomena or they are extraterrestrial in origin.<p>Or a third option: Something else we aren&#x27;t clever enough to think of. Maybe it&#x27;s a sensor issue coupled with active human imagination. Or... something else entirely.

<i>&gt; &quot;In fact, there should be a quadrillion ‘Oumuamua-like objects within the solar system at any given time, if they are distributed on random trajectories with equal probability of moving in all directions.&quot;</i><p>There is always the possibility that we only observed a very, very rare event. Just by enough very rare events being possible, it is bound to happen that we observe one of them one day. All in all it just reminds me a bit of p-hacking&#x2F;data fishing.

This article is hot garbage. Boo on Avi Loeb and boo on Scientific American.

This article is an ad for the guy’s book. If the article is representative then the book is not very good.

Avi Loeb was on Event Horizon earlier this week talking about this. It was pretty disappointing. When he first started on this whole &#x27;Oumuamua is a space craft thing, I thought it was an interesting but unlikely hypothesis and he was acting in good faith. After this latest round of press from him about UAPs and other nonsense, I am sure he is just cashing in. Just watch... he&#x27;ll be an &#x27;expert&#x27; on Ancient Aliens next.

&gt;As noted in my recent book Extraterrestrial, I do not enjoy science fiction stories because the story lines often violate the laws of physics<p>And there it is. Shame on the Scientific American

This article makes a lot of leaps but I think it does show that the reach of the implications of any kind of tacit confirmation of the &quot;UAPs are real, solid objects flying around at high Gs&quot; hypothesis would have pretty broad reach in terms of consequences to other observed, unexplained phenomena.

I stopped reading on this sentence:<p>&quot;It involves fresh scientific evidence that we are not be the only intelligent species in the cosmo.&quot;<p>If they can&#x27;t even proofread their article, I&#x27;m not going to bother reading it.

I’ve read the article twice now and I’m unclear on the link. Is it simply that these UAPs are appearing after the Oumuamua came by? Like the coincident time of the UAPs post the 2017 passby?

So those aliens who would have very restricted numbers have no problem with abandoning a lot of them on Earth while the rest of them go flying away into the sunset?<p>Yeah. Right.

I can’t see the article through the pop-overs, it jumps to trying to sell me magazine subscriptions<p>EDIT: hitting the back button brought me to the article

so in other words, who knows

Yeah, this article is the possible link between those.
