Harvard professor Avi Loeb believes an alien probe visited our star system in 2017, returning with "a message" for the academic community.
Being surrounded by the vast universe, we always find ourselves asking if we are alone. For thousands of years, human eyes were always set on the stars, questioning whether there is life somewhere else than our little blue planet. In 2017, a panel of scientists from NASA revealed that they have seen an alien probe come to Earth, a well-known "Oumuamua." In this report, we will be discussing this very interesting story and the mysterious message that accompanies it.
Oumuamua: An Alien Probe in Our Star System
The Oumuamua saga actually began in October 2017 while the Pan-STARRS1 telescope located in Hawaii was making its observation of a very peculiar-looking object. Known as Oumuamua, this long cylindrical shape had an impressive speed in its movement across space. It wasn't too long before scientists realized that it wasn't an ordinary space rock. Harvard professor Avi Loeb was one of those early ones suggesting that the origin of Oumuamua is not from our world.
Loeb argued that the spacecraft speed and trajectory of
Oumuamua were quite unusual, not bound by normal gravitational forces. Also, it
was a cylindrical shape with a lack of a traditional comet tail defined
features not quite fitting the conventional space objects. It was especially
this fact which made Loeb, and others among scientists, pay attention to the
accelerating as Oumuamua moved farther away from the Sun-phenomenon that cannot
be easy to be described by the laws known up to now.
The Message of Oumuamua
However, the surprise was when scientists declared that Oumuamua was not only an alien probe but a vehicle carrying a coded message to humanity. It was discovered due to hard work from scientists at NASA and those at the University of Cambridge who had diligently tried to decipher the meaning of the message. The message read:
Hello, Earthlings. We are aliens from a distant star.
We have come to learn more about your world and its people."
coded message of Oumuamua
Many people criticized the claims of the scientists by
stating that Oumuamua had various explanations for being a natural object, and
the coded message was a very overstated interpretation. However, others
supported the theory of Oumuamua being a visitor from another world that his
message produced significant proof of extraterrestrial life.

The Discovery of Oumuamua
The alien probe Oumuamua was known when an asteroid approached Earth in February 2017. It was first observed by an unusual object at a Pan-STARRS1 telescope at Hawaii. "Oumuamua," which means "scout" or "messenger from afar who arrives first," comes from a Hawaiian word.
The Strange Shape of Oumuamua
One of the interesting features of Oumuamua is that it happened to be cylindrical. Most of the asteroids and comets have irregular shapes, but Oumuamua was cylindrical and elongated. Such a shape is rather interesting and goes with a lot of debates about origin and character.
The Decoded Message
The message Oumuamua bore, as is already known, was
deciphered by a team from NASA and the University of Cambridge. Even though
some doubted its authenticity, the experts involved in deciphering it argued
that the chances of it being a coincidence were extremely low.
Conclusion
For now, the Oumuamua tale and its cryptic message
continue to remain a mystery from space. As science is making further strides
and moving outward into the macrocosm, it is uncertain whether such a visitor
is indeed an alien probe or just an interesting natural phenomenon. One thing,
however, for sure: this discovery has captured the imagination of millions of
people, and it has fired our innate sense of seeking the answers to the
universe.
