Elon Musk: "Oumuamua Has Suddenly Returned and It's Not Alone!"

a mua mua which is an object that we detected in space that you believe could possibly have been extraterrestrial Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell um muamua The Mysterious Interstellar object that puzzled scientists back in 2017 has returned and it didn't come alone and this time the usual follow-up measurements of position and speed showed something completely different this cigar-shaped visitor from another star system has left astrophysicists in complete shock it's kind of like a little jet engine on the surface just gives it a little thrust over time scientists couldn't agree on what it was as

it cruises back into our solar system with a few companions the questions are getting Wilder daily is this a strange natural phenomenon or could it be engineered from other worlds join us as we reveal the shocking details of one of the most mysterious discoveries in the history of space exploration the second coming of um mua Elon Musk confirmed one of the most mysterious phenomena in modern astronomy the return of umam muua for those who haven't heard about it umu amua was first discovered back in 2017 it all began when astronomers caught something strange moving through

our solar system no one could explain it but they all agreed that it came from outside our solar system it was the very first object that visited our vicinity in the solar system from outside the solar system they eventually named our Strange visitor Umama a Hawaiian name meaning Scout or messenger from a far arriving first but just as suddenly as it appeared it was gone it zipped past the Sun and slingshot it away leaving more questions than answers behind now it's back but this time it didn't come alone things are getting more serious stick around

for the chilling Revelations ahead you see umam mua has not just captured astronomer's attention Elon must was one of the first to comment publicly on it remember that SpaceX had just completed a deep space telescope project and the data from their sensors confirmed what astronomers were saying umu mua is back cruising in our solar system the first umu mua had rattled the space world but now there were more according to musk this is the most important Discovery in human history he also warned governments and space agencies to take it seriously according to him we are

either dealing with a natural phenomenon we don't understand or something way more baffling if musk treated this as a significant event it wasn't something to brush off that yeah this was not some solar system object falling from a long way away so the scientific Community had no choice but to launch investigations but how exactly did umw mua pull off its Second Coming that takes us to thousands of astronomical Laboratories worldwide that have confirmed the arrival it started with an unusual blip in telescopes scanning the sky astronomers at these observatories noticed something cutting through space at

an angle that didn't match the usual pass of asteroids or comets it wasn't behaving like a typical rock from our solar system but they were worried it could be headed towards us maybe a weapon launched by aliens so they decided to calculate its Target luckily the trajectory data revealed that it was once again cruising in interstellar space it was from outside our solar system cruising near ours but it isn't yet determined to Target us directly but then scientists also noticed something the object followed the exact flight path as umam mua almost as if retracing its

steps uh it's almost certainly a natural object I would bet all of my money on that that's when the realization hit either umam mua had somehow returned or something identical had arrived when scientists checked the skies for more anomalies they found something even more startling there wasn't just one op object there were several if um muamua had been a one-time event it could have been written off as a fluke but a second object nearly identical in shape and movement shattered that idea and the presence of more meant something bigger was happening objects like this weren't

supposed to be shared yet now for the second time in less than a decade something had entered our solar system from the void Beyond but umam mua came with a bit of difference this time the new objects shared key similar ilarities with the first umam mua they are long like giant space cigars and lack the usual characteristics of comets or asteroids they do not leave gas Trails like comets when they heat up near the sun they also are and behaving like Solid Rock now this isn't a particularly close approach unusual distance it's just much easier

instead of slowing down or being affected by gravity in predictable ways they seem to accelerate slightly just like umam did but there were differences too the second object wasn't alone it had at least two others following at a distance the good news is that scientists were prepared this time when umum passed through in 2017 we only had a small window to observe it before it was gone our technology wasn't ready now things have changed groundbased telescopes were more advanced and multiple space agencies had deep space observation missions running private companies including SpaceX and blue origin

had Satellites with high-powered cameras pointed outward this time we wouldn't just watch these objects pass by we could track them that's not all within days of the discovery NASA and other space agencies were scrambling to put together missions unlike 2017 when we had barely any time to react these new objects gave scientists a rare Second Chance SpaceX announced that it was working with NASA to FastTrack a probe launch the goal is to get a spacecraft close enough to study one of these objects before it disappears into deep space again but we are not not alone

in this endeavor other countries are also getting involved for instance the Chinese space agency had developed its plans while the European Space Agency might repurpose one of its existing probes to intercept the object the idea of launching a mission to intercept Interstellar visitors had seemed impossible in 2017 now with newer technology it was suddenly within our reach if you are worried about the urgency of the global approach well you have a reason to be if these objects weren't random chunks of ice and rock if they were something else Humanity need to find out what they

were before they left again now let's consider what scientists have said about the umam MUA sightings and how it all began with the first sightings back in 2017 scientific speculations in the first umam muua scientists are mostly repeating the old claims about umam muua when the first one passed in 2017 scientists debated whether it was a comet an asteroid or or something more mysterious some had even suggested it might be artificial a probe sent from another civilization but with no way to prove it the idea faded into the background now with new data coming in

those questions were back in full force here is the troubling part the new objects still weren't behaving like anything we'd expect from natural space debris instead of slowing down or getting pulled in by the Sun's gravity they are accelerating in erratic patterns just like umamu had some scientists believe this could be caused by outgassing where ice trapped inside the object gets heated and turns into gas giving it a slight push but there was one problem with that idea none of the objects showed signs of releasing gas no visible Tails no sudden bursts just smooth consistent

movement for musk and others in the private space industry the objects appear more artificial rather than natural at all some space experts also suggest that this is just the beginning of a new pattern something we were only beginning to notice if these weren't random rocks but instead something with a purpose then what was that purpose were they just passing through or were they meant to observe for now the world's best minds are focused on tracking their movement Gathering data and planning missions but there are no definite answers just yet for better context let's go back

to the beginning how we first discovered umamu in 2017 it started like any ordinary day in space observation on October 19th 2017 a scientist named Robert wck was reviewing data from the pan Stars telescope in Hawaii the system had been scanning the sky as usual looking for asteroids that might be on a collision course with Earth we found became to known as umu mua it's actually the first Interstellar Comet so it's a comet that came from outside our solar system but something strange showed up at first it looked like just another space Rock but as

wck dug deeper something fell off it was moving too fast way too fast unlike anything from our solar system but most asteroids and comets follow predictable paths either orbiting the Sun or getting pulled by Jupiter's gravity but this object it wasn't orbiting the Sun the way everything else did it was cutting through space at a strange angle weric checked older telescope images and realized something shocking it had already passed close to Earth and was speeding away it had gone unnoticed until now by the time scientists realized what they were looking at it was already on

its way out of the solar system that's when the real shock hit it was the first time in human history that we had ever seen something enter our solar system from another star system because the discovery was made in Hawaii astronomers decided to give it a Hawaiian name umw mua but what exactly was it that was the problem no one knew and no one still knows today Robert wck continued to monitor it it was spinning and overend every 7.3 hours we are about to reveal the biggest mystery of all you don't want to miss the

next scene the biggest mystery was the acceleration some scientists have tried to explain the acceleration of the object back then according to Harvard Professor AI lob umu mua might not be a rock at all instead it could be a military machine from Aliens L believed that the acceleration could mean that um muamua was using some kind of propulsion system someone was controlling the speed somewhere probably remotely or the pilots were sitting right inside it that came from outside the solar system looked really weird it was discovered by a telescope in Hawaii most scientists weren't ready

to go that far but the problem is that they still couldn't explain what umam mua was either by the time the world realized how important umam mua was it was already too late to send a spacecraft to study it up close it had come and gone before anyone had a chance to react all we had were telescope images and data collected in a rush no close-up photos no samples for many in the space Community it was a frustrating moment a once-in-a-lifetime event had just slipped through our fingers if we had spotted it earlier we could

have sent a probe we could have gotten real answers as UAM continued its Journey away from the sun in 2017 telescopes tracked it as long as they could but it was getting fainter by the day moving deeper into space by early 2018 it was gone Out Of Reach scientists knew that one day another Interstellar visitor might come along but they had no idea when or if it would be anything like Umama even after umam disappeared the debate over what it was never stopped NASA Esa and even SpaceX all quietly started making plans for the next

time something like this appeared no one wanted to miss the opportunity again then years later umom came back but this time with its siblings we are about to break down some of the craziest scientific ideas on the umum phenomenon stick with us for the amazing Revelations ahead is umam mua extraterrestrial we mentioned earlier that umam mua was longer than typical space objects like rocks and asteroids according to estimates it has a length somewhere between 240 M and 400 m long but only about 35 M wide another issue was that umam mua wasn't stable at all

it was flipping chaotically if it had been tumbling for millions of years you'd expect its motion to have evened out but it hadn't something had made it spin like that and it hadn't slowed down scientists also noticed something strange about color umam mua had a reddish surface which was as too unusual some space rocks look reddish because of radiation exposure but the exact shade and reflectivity were off it was reflecting light in a way that didn't match any known object some researchers suggested it was covered in a thin layer of organic material similar to what's

found on some Icy Bodies In Space Professor ABY lob doesn't just believe that umam mua is artificial he backed up his claim with a theory known in the scientific world as the light sale theory he had spent his career studying astrophysics black holes and the formation of the first Stars after close observation of the data collected by telescopes L suggests that if umam mua was thin and lightweight sunlight alone could have pushed it forward this is exactly how a light sail works it is a spacecraft that uses light from a star to propel itself think

of it like a sailboat but instead of wind it catches light when tiny particles of light hit a thin reflective surface they give it a little push if umam mua was made of very thin material this could explain the strange acceleration we mentioned earlier but if you think that is a science fiction remember that scientists are already developing this technology here on Earth in 2019 the light sale 2 spacecraft launched by the planetary Society successfully used sunlight to adjust its orbit and so far his orbital dance has worked around the same time the Breakthrough starshot

project backed by billionaire Yuri Milner was working on Tiny Interstellar probes with light sails designed to travel to the nearest star system Alpha centor some scientists had even suggested that alien civilizations might use light sails to send probes across the Galaxy if humans were already testing light sails Was it crazy to think another civilization might have done the same long before us there was another reason why the light sail idea made sense and that is the shape of umu muua at first scientists thought it was a long cigar-shaped object but later some models suggested it

could have been flat like a disc or a sheet a thin flat shape would be ideal for a light sail because it would catch sunlight more effectively and accelerate the way umw mua did others believe that it wouldn't be tumbling if it had a flat shape but the truth is that the tumbling motion didn't rule this out for instance if it was a damaged or abandoned light sail it could have been spinning through space before reaching us now we have come to one of the wildest explanations for the phenomenon what if omam mua is spying

on us think about how we send out probes like Voyager 1 and two those spacecraft are traveling through space carrying golden records with information about Earth if another civilization had done something similar millions or even billions of years ago umam mua could have been drifting through space for longer than human civilization has existed here's the mind-blowing part if um wua was an ancient probe the civilization that sent it might not even exist anymore it could have been launched by a species that is now extinct or it might have been sent so long ago that the

builders have no idea where it ended up however one thing that made scientists skeptical of this theory was the lack of any detected signals if umam mua was a probe wouldn't it send out radio waves or some kind of communication well not necessarily well break it down in a bit you don't want to miss the next scene unending mysteries of umam mua if it was designed to be stealthy or passive it wouldn't be broadcasting anything many of our space probes are designed to stay silent most of the time to conserve energy also so what if

it was broken if it had been traveling for millions of years it could have lost power or been damaged by space debris astronomers did try to check for signals in December 2017 the Breakthrough listen project aimed at powerful radio telescopes at UAM mua to listen for any unusual transmissions and things that are real uh they would show up as uh either a series of dots or trailed objects they heard nothing but again if the probe was dead silent or just built differently than what we expected we wouldn't have picked up anything anyway another theory was

that umam mua could have been a deric spaceship like an abandoned satellite from an advanced civilization imagine a big alien spacecraft once fully operational now just a drifting shell if it had been built millions of years ago all the internal systems could have long since shut down it might have been a transport ship a research vessel or even a message in a bottle designed to drift through space and see where it ended up remember that our space junk the satellites and spacecraft we've left behind might one day be mistaken for alien artifacts by a future

civilization if an alien species found Voyager One in a distant star system 10,000 years from now would they think it was an active probe or just space debris from a long-lost civilization we must admit that not everyone liked the idea that umamu might be artificial most scientists prefer to stick with natural explanations because that's a safe bet after all we've never proven the existence of alien technology so suggesting that umamu was artificial was a step too far for them a lot of astronomers said it was more likely an unusual Comet despite the lack of a

tale some even said it might be made of weird kinds of ice that don't behave like normal comets but here's the problem every natural explanation had holes in it so even though the artificial hypothesis was controversial it wasn't completely ruled out you know crazy ideas spin up at times like this some are even pushing the idea that humans are responsible for the umam MUA phenomenon well that is why scientists regretted that we didn't get a closer look if we had detected umam mua earlier we might have been able to send a spacecraft to monitor it

like how NASA sent a probe to visit the asteroid benu imagine if we had been able to take highresolution pictures would we have seen a smooth metallic surface instead of rock would we have found signs of alien engineering but that doesn't mean the story's over if one came others will follow if um muamua was artificial it wasn't the only one if an advanced civilization was sending out probes there could be more maybe hundreds maybe thousands and if UA was just a natural visitor that still means Interstellar objects are passing through our solar system all the

time the interstellar visitor entered our solar system from above the plane of the planets we just haven't seen most of them yet in 2019 another Interstellar object 2 i/ borisoff was discovered it was different from umam mua it looked more like a regular Comet but its Discovery proved a point umam mua wasn't a one-time event more Interstellar visitors will come and next time we will always be more ready than the previous so what happens now will we be able to catch the next one in time and what if something even stranger shows up keep watching

to find the answers and many more what comes next after umam mua umam mua is speeding away into deep space and we may never see it again but that doesn't mean the story's over now that we know what to look for we'll probably find a lot more the first umam mua escaped in 2017 now it is trying to escape with two counterparts but you know what that can't happen again astrophysics and space scientists agree that if we want to study the next Interstellar object properly we need better telescopes ones that can spot these things earlier

the good news that's already happening a new telescope called the Vera SE ruin Observatory is being built in Chile it can scan the entire Sky every few nights which means it will be able to spot fast moving objects like umoa mua much earlier than before it's expected to be operational soon and once it is we might start detecting Interstellar visitors regularly and if we catch one early enough we could send a spacecraft to intercept it before it's gone after the cylindrical spacecraft that passed through the solar system in enough and that brings us to the

next big thing it seems the world needs to build something much more than telescopes we need a super fast machine something fast enough to chase it down take pictures and analyze its surface up close a group of scientists has already proposed a mission called project Lyra the idea is to use a powerful rocket assisted spacecraft that could reach an Interstellar object before it leaves the solar system if we could launch such a probe in time we could finally answer the biggest question what is umam mua just a rock or something more right now this is

just a concept the challenge is that Interstellar objects move incredibly fast and we need a Next Generation propulsion system to catch up but the technology is improving if we build more powerful spacecraft in the next decade we might be able to catch the next umoa mua in real time however the wildest possibility is this what if the next Interstellar object isn't just another space Rock we are talking about something artificial that leaves no doubt well there are too many unknowns but one thing we're sure of is that at that point Everything Will Change governments space

agencies and private companies would all scramble to study it it would be the biggest Discovery in human history but then we'd have to ask another interesting question do we try to make contact with the machine or should we destroy it so it doesn't send intelligence about us back to the alien control base if it's just a dead probe there's nothing to talk to but what if it's still functioning then there would be a lot of debates about the best line of action right now there's no official plan for this scenario no government has a step-by-step

guide on what to do if we find alien technology drifting through space some scientists like those at seti have thought about it but they've not agreed on any strategy for now according to Steven Hawking before he passed it would be dangerous to try to make contact with such craft if an advanced alien spaceship noticed us they might see us the same way we see animals in the wild interesting but not important now this is a very interesting point history shows that when a powerful civilization meets a weaker one things don't always go well for the

weaker side just see how we've hunted animals in the wild God forbid but maybe we might become the next deer and Antelope running from the hunter scope on the other hand some argue that if an advanced species is sending probes they might just be curious scientists explorers or even a civilization that doesn't care about us at all so they encourage us to try to establish Communications with them what do you think either way if the next Interstellar visitor turns out to be artificial it will change everything we thought we knew about the universe even if

the next object we find turns out to be natural that doesn't mean the search for alien technology is over some scientists believe believe there might already be alien artifacts in our solar system we just haven't looked hard enough let's break it down if an advanced civilization wanted to observe us they wouldn't necessarily send a spaceship broadcasting signals they might drop a probe into our solar system and let it sit quietly watching waiting Gathering data checking vulnerabilities and recording the details of how we live umam mua is not the first strange occurrence that has been observed

in the universe and it will likely not be the last and to be honest scientists are not sleeping on it we are about to reveal other phenomena close to umam mua but just before then let's talk about AI lob's new project Galileo other strange Interstellar occurrences the Galileo project was launched by Abby lob the Harvard Professor who studied umam mua if there is any object in our backyard that may have arrived from a neighbor's yard lob's team is searching for physical evidence of alien technology not just radio signals but actual objects that could mean searching

for old Interstellar objects scanning the moon for anything unusual or even studying strange UFO reports that Pilots have seen the idea is not to assume aliens are real but to collect actual data because if there's something out there we should be looking the universe is a big place and now we know that objects from other star Systems pass through ours all the time some will be boring some might be mysterious and maybe just maybe one will prove we're not alone the key is to be ready if another umam mua like object shows up we need

the tools to study it immediately that means better telescopes faster spacecraft and a plan for what to do if we find something truly unexpected like an attack or defense plan because if we wait too long we'll just watch it disappear into the void just like last time and talking about other strange Interstellar phenomena let's go back to 2014 3 years before umam mua something small but incredibly fast entered Earth's atmosphere but to me the most significant is for what UA mua can tell us about the past of our solar system and burned up over the

Pacific Ocean near Papua New Guinea at the time no one realized how special it was it was just another meteor until scientists looked at the data years later it turned out that this object now called cnos 2014 18 was moved moving way too fast to be from our solar system based on its trajectory and speed researchers concluded that it came from outside our solar system making it the first known Interstellar object to ever hit earth that Discovery alone was baffling but then came an even crazier idea what if fragments of it are still at the

bottom of the Pacific Ocean Avy lobe launched an expedition in 2023 to search for pieces of the meteor his team found tiny metal spheres on the ocean floor according to early analysis they had unusual compositions not quite like anything found in natural space rocks some even speculated that the meteor could have been artificial a probe a fragment of alien technology or something we simply don't understand before L's Mission the USD space command had officially stated with 99.999% certainty in 2022 that the meteor was Interstellar of course that's just a theory for now but one thing

is clear we've been hit by objects from outside our solar system before and it will happen again there is another event from 2019 now there was another phenomenon but space has given us other Mysteries like the bizarre signals known as fast radio bursts FBS are powerful bursts of radio waves that come from deep space they last only milliseconds but they carry as much energy as the sun releases in a whole year the first one was discovered in 2007 and since then astronomers have detected hundreds more we get proved many of the things happening in space

but scientists raise the alarm every time a new phenomenon is detected thank you for staying with us what do you think could be happening in our Interstellar spaces share your opinions with us in the comment section if you enjoyed the video like share and subscribe to our Channel also click the following video on your screen and you will enjoy it
