In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed a strange object soaring through our inner solar system. Harvard Professor Avi Loeb believes that the object known as Oumuamua was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and leaving no trail of gas or debris in its wake. For Professor Loeb, there was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.
