But in fact, the push away from the sun declined inversely with distance squared.

So that's what you expect from solar radiation pushing on a thin object.

And just three years later, the same telescope in Hawaii discovered another object that was definitely pushed by reflecting sunlight.

And then they realized a few months later that it's made of stainless steel.

They took a spectrum of this object, realized it's stainless steel.

And then they said, oh, yeah, this one is actually a rocket booster that was launched by NASA in 1966.

We know about it as part of a lunar lander mission.

And so here is an example of a technological object that displayed the same quality as Oumuamua.

And it was...

We know that it's technological because we produced it.

The question is who produced Oumuahua?

And then the second object that was discovered was in 2019, the second interstellar object.

And that one was definitely a comet, similar to comets that we've seen before from the solar system.

I don't really chase trends anymore.

I just want to close out work, feel good, and laugh.

So altogether we have three.

The first one was anomalous in different ways than the third one, three Atlas.

So I'm just open-minded to the possibility that one of these two might be technological.

Yeah, well, maybe not everywhere, but they might have a purpose in the inner solar system.

You know, there might be a reason why.
