ʻOumuamua ( the messenger) is the very first object to be proved of extra stellar origin, plus it seems to move by it's own power... Intriguing. Well, it seems to be a false alarm but still... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ʻOumuamua |

Do you think there would be worldwide panic if it was proven to be artificial? |

It could, but I don't think people would be paying attention to that. The crisis "next door" supersedes what could be an existential threat because it's distant and hard to imagine. |

It is truly, unspeakably extraordinary that we have found an object from outside our solar system, especially since it is almost certainly no more than a half-mile long. Something that small, coming across the vast emptiness of our galaxy, entering our modest viewing area in the century or so when it could actually be detected: the odds against ever seeing such a thing seem tremendous. We are truly fortunate to be alive in this moment.
