New paper

On the Anomalous Acceleration of 1I/2017 U1 `Oumuamua Darryl Seligman, Gregory Laughlin, Konstantin Batygin (Submitted on 12 Mar 2019)

'alien spacecraft'

While not stressed, the article still has too much emphasis on this - there are probably less than 5 astrophysicists who give even the slightest credence to this guff. I recommend reducing it to the briefest of mentions and removing it from the lede. 50.111.29.1 (talk) 14:26, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

:I went to review it and there was a very clear, concise description that a small number of astrophysicists may think its is extra terrestrial. Which I think is fair. MaximusEditor (talk) 19:50, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

More on hydrogen gas theory

New study on why Hydrogen Iceberg doesn't work

https://avi-loeb.medium.com/oumuamua-was-not-a-hydrogen-water-iceberg-1dd2f7a6107f Looks like the hydrogen theory is bust, so to my knowledge it looks like pretty much every proposed explanation for what this thing was has been shot down. — Insertcleverphrasehere 19:39, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
