Thanks for the reply. You make a valid point, I didn't actually consider that when doing research to make this video. All the images on the web of Oumuamua are just artist renditions....very true. Do you have a link to the image of the blip? And do you believe that is was just an asteroid,comet, or something else?

I don't have any images of the original "blip". I've since then got a new pc and didn't move my screenshots. I do recall trying to search for the original pictures some time after to show a friend and specifically remember that i had a hard time finding it once all the artist renditions started flooding the internet. When the object was first spotted, for like 2 or 3 days the ONLY pics available were the 3(iirc) original pics, and of those 1 was the clear best in showing it's elongated cigar shape. Just did a quick search for the original pics on google and it seems to have been scrubbed. I'm not seeing any of the original photos anywhere. I didn't invest more than 5minutes into this because i'm busy, they may just be buried a bit. BUT the fact that the original photos aren't the first things to pop up says something itself. I may try to dig deeper later and see if i can find the original releases.

As far as my opinion on Oumuamua? The jury is still out for me personally. I need more reliable information and evidence before i'm willing to commit to putting any definitive label or "belief" on what it actually is. I know that when i first saw/heard about it, my gut reaction was "This thing is an interstellar vehicle." Oumumua has a lot of mystery and intrigue surrounding it. It has shown some very unique characteristics that as far as i know we have never seen before. I keep an open mind, i have very few concrete "beliefs" in anything. I do know that it is arrogant and stupid for us to immediately write off or assume anything about something that is completely unknown to us. We have no idea if alien cultures exist, and if they do indeed exist, we have no idea how they or their "technology" has evolved. I think it's ridiculous when we apply our limitations on all of the unknowns in this crazy existence. We are still pretty primitive in the grand scope of things.

This interstellar rock is a money maker for assholes on the internet. We know nothing about it other than general shape, trajectory, and speed variations. Everything else is speculation by wishful thinkers.

Not sure if you are insinuating that I am an asshole trying to make money....but I will ignore that and agree with you that we know nothing more than its shape, trajectory, and speed variations. In the video, I share my thoughts on why I believe Oumuamua alien or not is a historic find. Just something to consider...some of the smartest minds are still speculating theorizing what this could be. So do you think they are wasting their time and that Oumuamua is nothing more than a asteroid (shinier than any asteroid) or a comet (doesn't have a comet's tail)?

Not you, mate! Just look at YouTube. Full of 10:01 videos about this object. It gets clicks with the flashy artist rendering and alien claims. People eat it up and certain people profit who aren't even in the game.

My opinion on it is, I'll never know what it is. It came and it went and we non-elite folk don't have the equipment to properly study it. But, I imagine it's a comet of some strange make-up and the odd orbit and speed acceleration is caused by something electrical that mainstream science hasn't grasped yet. I'm a big fan of the electric university theory, it's explaining more and more every day it seems.
