【悲報】 恒星間天体オウムアムア、やっぱり異星人の宇宙船だった

A FAMED Harvard scientist has called for Nasa to send spacecraft to hunt for alien probes.
Astrophysicist Avi Loeb has said we shouldn't just be focusing on mysterious radio signals in the hunt for alien life but also looking for unusual space objects.

Loeb proposes in a new essay for Scientific American that there could be objects in our Solar System that are like a "message in a bottle" from alien life.
The scientist thinks space agencies should be launching space probes to “search for technological civilizations across interstellar distances”.
He also thinks we should use probes to observe objects that drift into our Solar System.
One such object is Oumuamua, an unusual space rock that Loeb has argued could be a probe sent by aliens.

Oumuamua took the world by storm in October 2017 when it was identified as the first known visitor from another star system.
It's a cigar-shaped asteroid that sped past Earth over three years ago.

There are other astronomers who disagree with Loeb and don't think Oumuamua has any alien connections.
Loeb's essay comes just after alien hunting astronomers revealed they are investigating a strange radio wave emission that seems to have come from a nearby star.
Scientists are still analysing the radio wave beam to try and workout what caused it.
Researchers working on the Breakthrough Listen Project, an initiative set up in 2016 to search for alien life, often notice strange blasts of radio waves.

However, all these outbursts so far have been attributed to natural sources or human interference.
Loeb thinks we should be focussing on sending our own probes to space as well as detecting radio signals on Earth.
He previously suggested that radio bursts in space could have an "artificial origin".
He's also suggested that life could be hiding under rocky surfaces like within the Moon or Mars.
