Harvard researchers say mysterious structure may be alien probe


By: Alex Kack 


Oumuamua is the name scientists have given to a mysterious object traveling through space and into our solar system. The object is of unknown origin although scientists do know that it originated outside of our solar system, making it the first known object to have done so. It was first observed towards the end of 2017.

Now researchers from Harvard University are advancing the idea that it "may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization." A statement they make in a to be published paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The researchers are careful to state this is far from certain, however there are abnormalities about the speed and trajectory of the object that have confused them and other researchers.

Namely that the object sped up as it passed our Sun, something that should have naturally caused the object to slow.

When first observed researchers at SETI attempted to observe the object for a variety of radio transmissions and found none that were detectable.

By: Alex Kack The Ouija Board, a classic and well known game and divination tool. Has long been shrouded in mystery. While it’s history is well known, how the device actually works, and if there is a rational and non supernatural answer for it’s mechanics, has always been up for debate with a number of theories put forward. Originally brought to the market in 1890 by the inventor Elijah Bond, and popularized as a tool for contacting spirits in the 1910’s by Pearl Curran, a writer from St. Louis. Ouija boards have often been the subject of public fear, and many relgious denominations to this day, advocate against their use. While the name ‘Ouija’ is now a trademark of Hasbro, Inc, the boards are produced and used by many people around the world today, and have been a hallmark of science fiction, fantasy and horror entertainment.
