![]() But no signs of such jets were seen around ‘Oumuamua. Run-of-the-mill comets can exhibit similar accelerations because of the rocketlike effect of evaporating gases jetting from their sunlight-warmed icy surfaces. Most strangely, as it zoomed off after swooping by the sun, the object sped up faster than could be explained by our star’s waning gravitational grip alone. ![]() Neither did its brightness, which revealed ‘Oumuamua was at least 10 times more reflective than one of our solar system’s typical space rocks-shiny enough to suggest the gleam of burnished metal. ‘Oumuamua’s apparent shape-which was like a 100-meter-long cigar or pancake-did not closely resemble any known asteroid or comet. The object’s discoverers dubbed it ‘Oumuamua-a Hawaiian term that roughly translates to “scout.” The unavoidably cursory examinations of this celestial passerby showed it had several properties that defied easy natural explanation. ![]() All that began to change in late 2017, however, when astronomers around the world scrambled to study an enigmatic interstellar visitor-the first ever seen-that briefly came within range of their telescopes. Until relatively recently, Loeb’s most high-profile work in that regard was his involvement with Breakthrough Starshot, a project funded by Silicon Valley billionaire Yuri Milner to send laser-boosted, gossamer-thin mirrorlike spacecraft called “light sails” on high-speed voyages to nearby stars. But for more than a decade he has also courted a more contentious subject-namely, space aliens, including how to find them. The prolific Harvard University astrophysicist has produced pioneering and provocative research on black holes, gamma-ray bursts, the early universe and other standard topics of his field. Read more on that below.Avi Loeb is no stranger to controversy. The former fighter pilot was airborne when the famous Gimbal video footage was captured. A former US Navy fighter pilot that witnessed UFOs first-hand has sat down to discuss his experience with the objects and some of the most famous footage that has been released by the Department of Defense. ![]() Read more: Black 'snowflake' UFO caught on video hovering over cityĪdditionally, a black snowflake-shaped UFO was spotted over Mexico, with the UFO community rushing to debunk this surprisingly high-quality footage taken through a car window.Read more: Congress implies UFOs aren't from Earth, focus shifts to alien origins.Leading to the assumption that there is at least some degree of belief within the US government that objects deemed as national security threats aren't from this world, hence the shift of focus to purely objects that aren't man-made. In other UFO-related news, Congress has changed the definition of UFO, and its new definition implies that its new UFO offices are specifically hunting for objects that aren't man-made. Will this "active coverup" continue? We will have to wait and see. It certainly seems that UFO news is heating up recently with announcements coming out from government officials and now Stanford professors warning that a big reveal is around the corner.
