A qustion with a possible easy answer. While the comet reached the sun, parts of it start breaking lose due to the high gravity pull from the sun, after leaving the original orbit it pulled apart and some kind of gas (helium or else) explored and gave the comet some acceleration or trejectory chance. It doesn't have to be rocket science every time, if something hits your bike, car, whatever while you drive, it can also change path.

@@Darren51283 hydrogen has different isotopes; there's "ordinary" hydrogen consisting of just a proton, deuterium which has a proton and neutron, and tritium which has a proton and 2 neutrons. Just like interstellar gas, comets have a larger fraction of deuterated water (D2O, HDO) to H2O, compared to what is seen on Earth. That can tell you something about the environment in which a comet was formed. And I believe deuterated water (heavy water) is perfectly safe to drink, just a bit expensive.

'Oumuamua is the name given to the first interstellar object ever detected passing through our solar system. It was first discovered by astronomers in October 2017 using the Pan-STARRS1 telescope in Hawaii. The name 'Oumuamua comes from the Hawaiian language and means "scout" or "messenger from afar." 'Oumuamua is an elongated, cigar-shaped object, estimated to be about 800 meters long and 80 meters wide. Its shape and unusual trajectory suggested that it was not from our solar system but had traveled through interstellar space before passing near the Sun. Despite much speculation, the exact nature and origin of 'Oumuamua remain a mystery. Some scientists have suggested that it could be a natural object, such as a comet or an asteroid, while others have proposed that it could be an artificial object, like a spacecraft. However, there is currently no direct evidence to support either hypothesis, and the mystery of 'Oumuamua continues to intrigue scientists and the public alike. 👽 chatgpt

[@saturn724]

I think it's unlikely that Omoumoua was a spacecraft. 1- Why would some aliens send a craft to visit a star just for a few days then leave? 2- The object did not display behavior that's unmistakable for a craft, like extreme maneuvers or hopping around between several planets. 99% of its movement was identical to what you'd expect from a natural object. 3- The object followed the sun's gravity, and got thrown back into interstellar space, which is known as a slingshot and happens all the time with natural objects. Sometimes we also use this method to travel in space. So ok, let's assume this alien craft simply wanted to use our sun's gravity to perform a slingshot, what are the odds that a civilization millions of years ahead of us (in terms of tech) would still use slingshots to travel in space?? You would only use this method to save on fuel, so advanced aliens still have issues with fuel????

Scientists call this phenomenon "trolling"

You don't know how long the object exist for or how long it's mission last. Slingshots could ensure continuous use for eons.

1-Data collection methods more advanced than ours. "We have been scanned". 2-That 1% could just be error in our instruments or... actual acceleration. I'd expect better but perhaps their solar sails are old and worn out... LOL! 3-Other civilizations might be conservation oriented by their very nature. They could have developed a power system but gravity and solar sails were enough IE they weren't in a hurry. Just playing the D's advocate. All are obviously unlikely. It was probably just a rock.

Ancient astronaut theorist say yes.

I'm a member of the Ancient Astronaut Society.

@@emzywillrich7243 can you say no?

Can I please know who is the person explaining about comets in the vedio

[@cekan14]

There are not "solar systems", there are planetary systems (and star systems, but those are an entirely different thing). The same as there are not "coliseums", but amphitheaters. Solar System and Coliseum are proper nouns given to an specific planetary system (ours) and to the biggest amphitheater in Rome.

Does that still apply if you consider the ORT cloud?

I can only imagine that, if radio signals and TV broadcasts from Earth are also receivable in outer space, then the Aliens might already be fans of Star Trek, as well.

They were just fuel scooping from SOL.

Throw out some Mcdonalds drive-through billboards out in space. That will bring us visitors.

If I saw the Earth I would probably keep it moving as well

@5:15, the scientist said the water from comet p76 is not the type of water we have on earth. Water is H2O. If it is not H2O, then it's not water. Can someone please explain what the scientist meant? Could it be heavy hydrogen? Or some isotope of oxygen?

when i see that object, all i think is the monolith in 2001 : a space odyssey

More like "Rendezvous with Rama" by the same author Arthur C. Clarke.

Sci-fi again. All we need now is a radio message from Xenu.

One thing is sure: 1I/2017 U1 is neither an asteroid nor a comet. The astronomical community should finally admit that Loeb's et al. model best describes what we've observed.

This maybe of some interest. On 27.05.19 at 1.20am I was taking a video of what I thought was a star towards the Hercules constellation, this star turned out to be an elongated spacecraft. It was pointed at the front and illuminated towards the rear built-up area. I can only guess at the size of this craft, but assume it to be huge maybe even many miles in length. It cannot be mistaken for anything else but a spacecraft. The question is. Is it alien? And if so where did it come from? And how long did it take to get here?
