Recently, an object from another solar
system buzzed ours! Named 'Oumuamua', the craft shaped object was
first spotted on Oct. 19 2017, by astronomers using the Pan-STARRS1
telescope in Hawaii. It was initially classified as a comet, but then
regarded as an asteroid after further observations revealed no
evidence of a coma (the fuzzy cloud of gas and dust that surrounds a
comet's core). Very rapidly, the object made its entrance, swung
around the sun and is now exiting stage right! Some people, like the
author, remained alarmed.
Noted theorist, Dan Owen, speculated
that it's approach angle was not unlike that of some sort of an
attack run. 'If true', Mr. Owen went on to speculate, 'One has to
wonder if perhaps it dropped off some sort of surprise for all of
humanity!'
When queried further on what exactly he
meant, Mr. Owen went on to explain that he had long been worried that
an advanced alien civilization may have it in for us homo sapiens,
even to the extent that they may have directed some sort of viral
bomb that could even now be headed for earth.
'I'll tell you all,' Mr Owen went on,
'that rather than calling it Oumuamua, which means "a messenger
from afar arriving first" in Hawaiian, a better term might be
Shitstormsacoming!' Even Stephen Hawking seems worried!
Astronomers have been running
exhaustive tests to try and determine if anything did, in fact ,break
off of the object in such a way as to intersect with earths orbit.
Those results are still pending....
